Getting to know Ricardo Gonzalez

Hello, my name is Ricardo Gonzalez, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist dedicated to supporting you through this time in your life's journey. I am based in Sunnyvale, CA, and work with clients throughout the great Golden State of California. I currently offer Telehealth services only (sorry, no in-person sessions at this time). I work with adolescents, adults, individuals, and families experiencing life transitions, anxiety, or depression. My therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered, solution-focused, and motivational interviewing to help you along your life's journey. I earned my Master's in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco, which has equipped me with a strong foundation to provide compassionate and effective care. My approach I believe in meeting clients where they are at the moment with their needs in the therapeutic process. My approach varies based on each individual's needs and goals, which can include a client-centered approach and an empirically based cognitive behavioral therapeutic approach that provides education and helps integrate an understanding of the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My focus My client population ranges in age from teenagers to elderly adults and everyone in between. I focus on individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and stress. Often, these individuals are navigating life transitions or managing issues and thought patterns that have become part of their life story. It's important for me to be a gentle guide as you navigate these challenges by offering empathetic, present, and active listening, while providing tools to build your coping skills toolbox and suggesting extracurricular activities. My communication style My communication style is calm, empathetic, non-judgmental, and personable. I am an active listener and fully present in the moment with you during our sacred time together.
