Relational Therapists in Isle Of Wight County, VA

Clients come to me in trying times for help dealing with issues like depression, grief, anger and marriage issues. I don't see myself as the "expert" who is going to provide all the "answers" but I do promise to walk with my clients as they address the issues we identify together that they want to in therapy. I am comfortable working one on one, or with couples and families from age 6 to adults. I'm also a Pastor and a Chaplain so I have been theologically trained and can explore spiritual issues and crises as a pastoral counselor.

As a fellow truth seeker and meaning maker, I know firsthand how challenges in life can seem inescapable at times. I also personally understand the layered impact that a history of trauma has on our physical, emotional, and spiritual selves. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker passionate about supporting women to learn to connect, cultivate, and honor their deepest sense of self, from the inside out, and what I like to think of as on a soul level. I want to support you to learn how to own all parts of yourself - mindfully, without judgment, and to honor your soul.

My name is Edica Gonzalez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach is client-centered; together, we determine the best intervention to support this journey. I treat a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, anger, self-esteem, and familial/relationship issues. I currently work with active duty military personnel, adults, and adolescents 16+. I am comfortable with treating clients with PTSD, complex trauma, relational issues, depression, anxiety, phobias, domestic violence/sexual assault survivors, anger, and self-esteem issues.

Intuitive Wellness specializes in the NARM (NeuroAffective Relational Model) and Somatic Experiencing(SE) for the treatment of trauma, anxiety, chronic stress and illness from a heart centered, somatic and relational lens. These specialized trauma modalities are designed to address issues including shock trauma, developmental, attachment and relational trauma. How we relate to ourselves, our internal experience, our interactions with others and the world around us, is so foundational to healing.

My goal is to help you reach your goals. My only desire is to help you feel better and more empowered. This is done with the main approach of providing a safe, non-judgmental, and validating space to explore your thoughts and emotions. Life is hard. Maybe it's hard all the time? Sometimes you can rise to the occasion, are successful, and can cope with life's difficulties. Other times, you become overwhelmed, frozen, angry, or depressed. Maybe you feel out of control of your life? Don't feel like your "normal self"? Have anxiety/depression? Whatever you are facing....you can overcome.

As we live, we write the stories of our lives. Sometimes the pen gets too heavy. Sometimes we don’t know where to start… or how to continue. And then there’s writer’s block, the faltering of the creative process somewhere in our hearts, our minds, our bodies producing dis-orders and dis-eases. Maybe you have lost a Loved one. Maybe you’re starting a new relationship. Maybe you want a new job. Maybe you just want change. I believe the remedy is in the beliefs/feelings, thoughts, and behaviors fueling the writer’s block or dis-ease, and I am a dis-ease specialist.

I believe that in order to succesfully grow and make changes in your life you need support, validation, and resources. It is my goal to meet you where you are at when you are feeling most hopeless, anxious, and lost. I believe everyone has unique strengths to create change in their lives. Therapy is a way to explore and challenge yourself. Together we can find ways to reconnect to an empowered and resilient whole self. Together we can create a space where you can be vulnerable.

As we try to navigate life, sometimes depression, stress, anxiety, conflicts can be obstacles to our finding balance and stability.
