Getting to know Milagros Gonzales

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York City, New York, and work with clients statewide via telehealth. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Yeshiva University and a Bachelor's degree from Springfield University. I work with adults and specialize in depression, anxiety, history of trauma, and relational issues using a psychodynamic approach combined with cognitive and patient-centered therapy to help my clients feel better and learn how to cope with the life they live. My approach generally begins with psychodynamic therapy, which focuses on how unconscious processes influence a person's current behavior. Psychodynamic therapy has been shown to improve the quality of life for those experiencing depression, anxiety, social anxiety, and interpersonal problems. Within this theoretical base, cognitive therapy is then utilized to change how clients think about and respond to situations in their lives. I have years of experience working with adults from ages 18 to 100, treating depression, anxiety, trauma, addiction, and codependency. My initial focus is always on establishing a safe environment for my clients. I strive to create a setting where clients feel valued and listened to, and where encouragement and appreciation for their experiences are provided. I have always known that I wanted to be a therapist. As a child, I would hold huddles with other children in my neighborhood to talk about our families and struggles, and as we grew older, we supported each other through adolescent firsts. I believe people truly see themselves for the first time as they engage in therapy. They begin to feel appreciation and acceptance for the life they are living and how they can make changes that will help them feel better. We all make sense. Goal setting is important in therapy, but only helpful if the client shares and agrees to those goals. Short-term versus long-term goals need to be distinguished and designed within a person's reality.
