Aurora Gonzalez
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in PA with over 25 years of experience in counseling and administration. I strongly believe in helping others explore their past, live better in the present, and face the future with renewed hope through compassionate collaboration.
I am direct and goal oriented, helping you define the troubles you are experiencing and most importantly, how you would like things to be and what is getting in the way.
Working on you while managing life's challenges gives us all the opportunity to live our most authentic life.
First session
We will spend the first sessions exploring the background and history which brings you to the courageous point of asking for help. I offer flexible daytime and evening hours based on your needs. I will help you explore the difficulties that you are experiencing and will discuss practical solutions to help you move forward in achieving your goals.

I pride myself in creating a safe space for individuals to explore the difficulties which bring them to therapy in the first place.
