Jackie Frias Gonzalez
Hello there, my name is Jackie. Iâd like to start by saying it brings me great joy that you are here making time for yourself! Allow me to ask, what brought you here today? Is it fearsâŚtraumas⌠distractions⌠hardshipsâŚloss⌠endless worries⌠striving for something meaningful? If youâre finding it hard to answer, âwhere do I go from here?,â then arriving at this thought is exactly where you need to be to make the decision to create your own path . If you are someone who has the courage to understand the impact of childhood experiences and the longstanding impact it has had on your present day self then I am the therapist for you. I invite discussions of traumas ranging from sexual abuse, neglect, parentification to name some and how these form shadows of fear that then differing parts of psyche learn how to adapt to. Let's bring these to light together in a way that shapes the ability to care for these unmet needs in order to show up better for yourself, your partner (in couple's counseling) and for your family (parenting).
As your therapist, I am committed to being my authentic self and walking alongside you on your journey towards self-discovery and personal growth.
As you reach this crossroads I offer you tools to support you in bringing to light the barriers that prevent you from uncovering your full potential. I invite you to show up for yourself as you journey through the mountains and valleyâs that are the wonders of your life.
First session
I begin by offering guidance on how our time will be spent with a focus on getting familiar with one another along with offering the spotlight to the catalyst for beginning therapy which will be brought to light by questions from both myself and you.
Strengths
There is great strength in self-awareness and courage in facing the unknown. As your therapist, I am committed to being my authentic self and walking alongside you on your journey towards self-discovery and personal growth.
Ideal clients
I strongly orient to populations including Latinos, generational immigration, athletes, women, professionals, parents, students, different phases of adulthood, grief, pro substance use and life transitions.
Treatment methods
Psychodynamic
In my experience of providing therapy there is often fundamental truths in the form of core beliefs that shape thoughts, feelings and behaviors that can be uncovered by sifting through the past to create a deeper understanding of oneself and relationships with other, along with promoting insight, and increasing insight to patterns in order to resolve conflicts and improve coping mechanisms.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Ensuring that a safe and accepting environment is established to foster a therapeutic relationship this humanistic approach creates a supportive and non-judgmental environment that invites exploration of thoughts, feelings and experiences to further self-insight and personal growth.
