Getting to know Zidam Gonzalez

"The provider is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern" I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, stress and anger management, relationship concerns, life transitions, and behavioral patterns. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood. I approach therapy with warmth, authenticity, and respect for your unique experiences. I believe therapy works best when it’s collaborative, so we’ll work together to build self-awareness, clarify your goals, and create meaningful, lasting change. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish, with sessions available in person and online.

What should a new client know about working with you?

Working with me is a collaborative and supportive process. I focus on creating a space where you can be yourself without judgment or pressure. I understand that starting therapy can feel unfamiliar, so I prioritize building trust and helping you feel comfortable from the beginning. I use evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) for OCD. I also integrate mindfulness, motivational interviewing, strengths-based techniques, and psychodynamic insights to support your growth. My style is warm, grounded, and practical. I balance deeper exploration with actionable tools so you can better understand what’s going on beneath the surface while also feeling equipped to handle everyday challenges. Whether you’re navigating stress, relationships, or long-standing patterns, we’ll move at a pace that feels right for you. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting. Therapy is a place to explore, gain clarity, and begin making changes that feel meaningful and sustainable.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

We’ll start with an initial session where I get to know you: what’s bringing you to therapy, what you’d like to work on, and any patterns or experiences that feel important. From there, we’ll create a direction that feels clear and aligned with your goals. In ongoing sessions, we’ll explore current challenges, past experiences, and patterns that may be affecting you, while also building practical tools to help you manage emotions, improve communication, and navigate daily life. Depending on your needs, I may incorporate structured approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, or ERP, along with mindfulness and reflective techniques. Sessions are a mix of insight and skill-building, so you leave with both understanding and tools you can use outside of therapy. We’ll also check in regularly on your progress and adjust as needed to make sure our work continues to feel helpful and relevant.
