Getting to know Patricia Gonzalez

Hey! My name is Patricia Gonzalez, but please call me Patty. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in California. I am a client-centered therapist who integrates different modalities to cater to my clients' needs. I have been trained in various approaches such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Behavior Activation and Modification, and Solution Focused Therapy. I earned my Master's in Clinical Health Services from Pepperdine University and my Bachelor's degree from the University of California, Santa Cruz. When working with an individual, I collaborate with my clients every step of the way as a team to find what works best, and I am always open to feedback. I genuinely want my clients to feel comfortable, safe, and heard without any judgment or assumptions. My approach Imagine someone giving you their undivided attention, genuinely interested in you and your story. I understand therapy can feel scary and build up anxiety, but my goal is to help you feel as comfortable as possible. I believe you are the expert in your life, and I am here to help you navigate the journey to your best self. My focus Throughout my experience, I have worked with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. I have supported individuals on the Autism Spectrum, foster children, and families. I enjoy the process of getting to know my clients' perspectives on how they have become who they are and the person they aspire to be. I have had the pleasure of supporting many people through life challenges, social pressures, and related concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, symptoms related to PTSD, and mood dysregulation. My communication style When getting to know my clients, I aim to match their energy. I can be bubbly and outgoing, but also calm. I want my clients to feel comfortable talking to me about anything, and I pride myself on being personable and accommodating.
