Hi! My name is Yvette Gonzalez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in California. I received my Master's from the University of Southern California and have been practicing for 19 years. I have experience working in outpatient mental health programs and in medical social work settings. I specialize in providing support to young adults and adults who face a range of challenges including but not limited to depression, stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions/adjustments, grief and loss, and family/relationships.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we will begin to explore your challenges and goals for therapy. I will listen with empathy and work to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your experiences and emotions. Together, we will start to develop a therapeutic plan tailored to your unique needs and aspirations.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Therapy is a unique opportunity for exploration and understanding of one's own story, and can facilitate healing and transformation during trying times. I collaborate with the client to foster self-love, self-compassion, and acceptance. I work with clients to strengthen their coping skills, while teaching them strategies and techniques needed to maneuver through life's challenges and transitions. I provide a supportive and hope-filled environment that allows for a journey of emotional healing and self-discovery. Hablo Español.
