Hi! Are you experiencing a lot of anxiety symptoms? Are you seeking help to manage your emotions? If you feel that your communication is bad, and it’s like you don’t know how to deal with anger, if you have not figured out a way to deal with it, I am here to help you. My name is Mariel Gonzalez, and I’m a bilingual psychotherapist who specializes in EMDR, relationship problems, mild or severe anxiety, and depression. We all understand that suffering is a part of life, but I would like to assist you. You will be in a judgment-free space where you receive unconditional support as we explore your concerns and fears together.
There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution, so I aim to collaborate with you to discover what uniquely benefits you. In each session, you will be greeted with kindness, unwavering positive regard, and a touch of humor. You will engage in some challenging work, but you will not have to face it alone.
If you're uncertain about how to begin, anxious about being judged, or just curious about therapy in general, please don’t hesitate to reach out! I would be glad to meet with you for a complimentary consultation to ensure you find the right match. Ready to book a session? Click the website link above or send me an email, and let’s begin!
