Hello! My name is Mrs. Jessica Gonzalez and I'm a Bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have worked with adolescents, adults, and families to restore balance, unrevealed emotions and guide them through what feels like overwhelming obstacles and challenges. My goal is to provide a safe environment to build a strong therapeutic relationship. Thank you for taking the 1st step towards change and I look forward to working with you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll begin with introductions to get to one another. I'll share some information about my background and therapy approach, and I'll invite you to ask any questions you might have. Then, I'll ask you to tell me about yourself and what brought you to therapy. This conversation will be conducted in a calm and relaxed manner to help ease any anxiety you might feel about starting therapy.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Over the past three years, I have successfully used Motivational Interviewing (MI), talk therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychoeducation, and solution-focused techniques in my practice. I address issues in a positive, hands-on, and straightforward manner, emphasizing aspects that facilitate change. I work on identifying and shifting negative thought patterns to encourage a healthier mindset, always approaching these topics with compassion and honesty. This approach has helped dozens of clients initiate positive changes in their lives.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Anxiety, Depression, Adolescent Issues, Family and Relationships Conflicts and Traumas
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
Working as a clinician for the past 10 years, I have honed the art of truly listening and meeting people where they are. Therapy is a vulnerable journey of healing, and through attentive listening, I help clients identify their problems, strengths, and opportunities for growth. I provide individualized care and collaboration to ensure you feel accepted, safe, and ready to become the best version of yourself.
