Hello! My name is Dioscelina Gonzalez, and I am a first-generation Latinx therapist. I am passionate about supporting the Latino community and other marginalized populations. As a proud Hispanic Mexican American licensed clinical social worker, I bring a culturally responsive and trauma-informed approach to my work. I am fluent in both Spanish and English, which allows me to provide therapy that honors language, culture, and identity.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, there will be an introduction and a warm atmosphere aimed at building rapport. We will discuss your goals for therapy, current challenges, and any relevant history. I will provide insight into what you can expect in future sessions. Additionally, I will cover confidentiality and the boundaries of the therapeutic relationship. This session is an opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have, setting the stage for a meaningful therapeutic journey.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

My approach to therapy is rooted in client-centered principles, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaboration. I tailor treatment to your specific needs, incorporating modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, and family systems therapy.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with adults to help them gain back or develop their confidence and overcome generational trauma. I have experience helping clients identify their strengths and how to use them in their everyday lives.

Dioscelina always brings so much great insight and useful tools in problem solving. I look forward to our conversations and guidance each session because I know I will come out of them with more empowerment and hope for bettering myself. She is very knowledgable in her field and extremely personable, which helps with opening up and dialogue.
