"One of my favorite quotes is by the late Magda Gerber- "We all need someone who understands." As a clinician that has worked with a variety of mental health and familial issues, I can attest that the most important part of the therapeutic process is the relationship between the therapist and the client. I prioritize that relationship and always aim to create a safe and non-judgmental space for the most vulnerable and deepest parts of your struggles to be heard and made better. I believe that every individual has the internal skills to create the life for themselves and with others that they want."

"My name is Nora Gonzalez, and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) who specializes in family therapy. I am well versed with all aspects of family dynamics, from parenting to play therapy.

As we build a working relationship together, please take comfort knowing that you are being treated by a professional, who is personally committed to helping you. While I utilize a variety of cognitive therapeutic techniques, my foundation for treatment starts with patience and empathy."

"I work with individuals, families, couples, children and adolescents and assist them in developing skills to live healthier and more functional lives. I take a warm, holistic and relational approach considering the mind-body connection and incorporate a variety of therapeutic techniques, including Eye Movement Desensitization And Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Family Systems."

"Life gets complicated. You have been trying all that you know how to do to make things better for yourself or for someone you love but have run out of energy, ideas or both. You may have a relationship with someone you love but just can't seem to get along. You may be a parent trying to best figure out how to help a child or teen who is having problems. You may feel burdened by sadness, fear or stress.Or, perhaps you have old wounds that seem to keep interfering with you creating the life you want."

"My ideal clients are people who feel stuck. They feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, anger, depression, physical pain, or ineffective relationships. I aim to help them feel empowered to change these patterns and to support them as they do so. In over 10 years of providing therapy, I can confidently say that each and every person has a different experience of what those patterns can be like. As a result, I begin every therapeutic relationship by learning what it looks like for my clients to struggle and what they imagine it will look like for them to feel better."

"I believe that counseling can be a space for you to explore the obstacles that are getting in your way of achieving your goals. In treatment we will focus on what is working in your life and build from those successes to help you make the change you want to make."

"I understand that seeking counseling can be intimidating and may create many fears. This is why it is important to me to provide a safe, caring and nonjudgmental environment. I appreciate client's efforts and attempts to help themselves and I'm proud to be part of that process. I invite each client to be involved in the process of goal setting and treatment planning, which is specifically designed to each individual, based on their symptoms, needs and past experiences. Therapy is a process during which I address not only your symptoms but also any additional life stressors and challenges."

"My theoretical approach is based on an eclectic, holistic approach to help individuals reconnect with themselves, so they can thrive and go beyond surviving day to day. I understand that every client's personal journey is unique; therefore, my approach is tailored to fit the specific needs of each client. I work collaboratively with clients to promote emotional and somatic awareness and incorporate DBT skills to empower clients to feel a greater sense of agency in their journey. My clinical experience includes working adolescents and adults struggling with trauma, depression, anxiety, bipolar, and eating disorders."

"Hello and a welcome to my healing practice! My work is of a unique nature - I work in a direction of a traditional psychology as well as an intuitive healing. I believe that the treasure House is within ourselves - that is the premise upon which I base my treatment. Irrelevant from what you are experiencing, whether it is a depression, anxiety, issues pertaining to major life transitions, anything that you feel you need help with - you no longer have to do this alone. You and I can do this together. I also help Empaths (Introverted intuitives) on their journey of healing, coping, living in a society - mechanisms to self-actualize. "
