Hello, I'm Amber, a dedicated and compassionate trauma-informed therapist committed to providing a safe and empathetic space for individuals on their healing journey. With a background in psychology and extensive training, I bring a holistic approach that integrates psychodynamic, person-centered, mind-body approach and cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques to support clients in their path to recovery. Incorporating a mind-body approach in therapy involves recognizing and addressing the interconnectedness of mental and physical health. This approach may include techniques such as mindfulness, deep breathing, or progressive muscle relaxation to help clients become more aware of how their thoughts and emotions influence their physical sensations. By integrating practices that focus on bodily awareness and self-regulation, therapists can help clients manage stress, reduce anxiety, and improve overall well-being. My psychodynamic orientation allows me to help clients delve into the unconscious aspects of their psyche, understanding how past experiences shape current thoughts and behaviors. Through this exploration, we work together to identify patterns, gain insight into unresolved conflicts, and promote long-term personal growth. In addition to the psychodynamic approach, I integrate person-centered therapy principles, emphasizing the importance of the therapeutic relationship. I believe in the inherent goodness and resilience of individuals and strive to create a space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to navigate their unique healing process. Furthermore, my practice incorporates elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), focusing on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviors. This approach allows us to develop practical strategies for coping with the impact of trauma, fostering resilience and promoting positive change. With a commitment to ongoing professional development and staying informed about the latest advancements in trauma treatment, I am dedicated to providing evidence-based and client-centered care. I am here to support you on your journey towards healing, personal empowerment, and a more fulfilling life.

Es posible que hayas escuchado frases como: “ya pasó, sigue adelante, deja eso atrás.” Sin embargo, si el dolor persiste, si sientes un nudo en la garganta, si sientes que se estruja el corazón, si impacta tu día a día, si debes aparentar que todo está bien, es muy probable que estés experimentando respuestas asociadas al trauma. La terapia ofrece un espacio seguro y confidencial donde puedes procesar lo vivido, validar tus emociones y desarrollar herramientas para sanar y avanzar.

Therapy offers a safe and supportive space where you can process what you’ve been through, validate your emotions, and develop healthy ways to heal and move forward.

Hello everyone, my name is Carolina Gonzalez.

I support clients through challenges such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, trauma, relationship concerns and parenting. My approach is collaborative and tailored to each person's needs with methods such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and strength-based interventions. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, respected and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives.
