Therapists in Redlands, CA

Are you seeking a better quality of life? Perhaps you are feeling stressed, overwhelmed by the demands of everyday life, or having trouble controlling your thoughts and emotions. Maybe, you are ready to change this trajectory and move forward in a new direction. Greetings! My name is Jeanpaulo A. Gonzalez, and I am a bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in working with adolescents and adults from all walks of life.

I enjoy working with clients who are ready for change and desire to learn and break generations of trauma. My goal is to serve mi gente. We come from a long line of "echale ganas," but don't stir the pot. This can be both confusing and exhausting. I help individuals heal generational trauma and childhood wounds. Healing these traumas and wounds will allow individuals and generations to live authentically. A life rich in confidence, culture, and abundance. I use a Faith-Based Perspective where my beliefs are not forced on anyone. Allowing God to work through me to help fill you with strength, love, and courage.

As a parent, it's so hard to watch your teen or young adult struggle. You know they're capable of so much, yet they seem to be sidelined by lack of energy, confusion about who they are, and an inability to see a bright future for themselves. I enjoy working with teens and young adults who struggle with tackling life. I'm skilled with helping young adults and teens who feel “stuck” – they know they're capable of so much, but they just don’t know where to start in making the life of their dreams happen. I know how to work with young people so that they gain much needed direction and confidence to allow them to soar!

Everyday you see your child struggling, and, to be honest, so are you. Everyone around you tells you that your child or teen just needs more discipline...more structure...stricter rules...but you think that maybe they just need help adjusting to this pandemic - and to life. I hear you, and I’d love to help. I’ve worked with many kids just like yours with overcoming their challenges and engaging in life again. My warm and inviting personality allows me to connect easily with my clients, and I offer a whole range of science-based, therapeutic strategies to assist kids with learning new ways of handling their strong emotions.

I believe the most influential part of the therapeutic process is the relationship between the client and therapist. I could continue to go to school, and put more letters behind my name, but that won’t mean anything if my clients don’t feel safe, connected, and comfortable. I believe that all of us, at any point in time, can become “stuck.” I welcome your calls to see if we will be a good fit, to travel through your personal navigation for growth, healing, and empowerment.

I can assist the person/family in finding ways to address personal impairments that impact growth and vitality.
