Getting to know Tamara Gonzalez

Hi there, I'm Tamara! My name is Tammie Gonzalez, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (#136056). I earned my Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of La Verne. My goal is to empower my clients to take control of their mental health without judgment and assist in improving their self-awareness. My approach The most common theoretical approaches I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-centered, Mindfulness-based cognitive, and Compassion-focused therapy. My focus I have experience working with individuals from diverse backgrounds including age, gender identity, ethnicity, economic status, and life experiences. I have worked in various settings including school districts, psychiatric hospitals, and correctional facilities. Some symptoms I feel most confident treating include anxiety, depression, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, adjustment difficulties, and grief. My communication style I work diligently to provide a judgment-free zone for my clients. My goal is to make you feel as comfortable as possible in a safe space where you can speak freely and candidly. I have been described as having a laid-back, positive, and down-to-earth tone when working with clients. My journey to mental healthcare I knew I wanted to be a therapist since my first Intro to Psychology class in high school. It started as a fascination with the mind and grew to a deep compassion and drive to empower and educate individuals during their darkest times. Few things bring me more joy than helping someone understand their worth and encouraging positive changes to be their best selves. My goals for you Goal setting is an ongoing and collaborative part of therapy. Sometimes a client brings an issue that takes priority but later identifies other concerns to address. My approach is always to meet you where you are.
