Getting to know Shaina Gonzales

Hi There! My name is Shaina Fawn (she/her). I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 14 years of experience providing therapeutic support to members of marginalized communities. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Denver. My specialty areas include trauma, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, death and dying, LGBTQ experiences, and individuals working in the entertainment industry. My approach My theoretical approaches include cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy-informed interventions, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). I am also in the process of becoming licensed in Oregon as a Psilocybin Assisted Therapy Facilitator. My focus As someone who identifies as a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I enjoy providing affirming therapy to this community. I am comfortable working with individuals who have experienced interpersonal trauma and those who struggle with anxiety, depression, and grief and loss. I also have extensive knowledge of the unique challenges in the entertainment industry and enjoy working with workers in this field. Additionally, I am bilingual in Spanish and can provide therapy to Spanish-speaking individuals. My communication style My approach to therapy is laid back and down to earth. I am warm, nurturing, and empathetic. I see my job as a therapist as helping clients overcome traumatic experiences so they can show up fully in their lives. I also work to help individuals live authentically. I work hard to establish a strong therapeutic relationship with clients because I believe this is key to helping them feel safe and comfortable enough to engage in the vulnerability therapy requires. By fostering a safe, non-judgmental space, I encourage individuals to explore their feelings, behaviors, and thoughts, empowering them to make meaningful changes in their lives.
