Therapists in Lynchburg City County, VA

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.

Sometimes you just need a safe place to land. Sometimes the activity and busyness in our daily lives are poor substitutions for intimate connections. Intimacy in relationships are the balm to our hurting hearts. Relationships are the sutures to our open wounds. Creating a safe, sacred space, and deep, quiet listening is the fertile soil needed for authentic sharing, deepening intimacy and healing. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over thirty-five years of clinical experience, I offer individual, couple, and group psychotherapy. Upon client request, I offer to integrate their spirituality in the healing process.

Feelings of sadness and anxiety from unhealed loss and unresolved life circumstances can cripple our capacity to manage our lives. This work offers clarity through tools that deal directly with life changes and the effects of trauma and addictions. With an overall focus on life transitions and jarring wake-up calls that challenge who we believe ourself to be, the work creates Ah Ha experiences and insights that release blocks and bring us home to ourselves - body, mind, emotions, spirit. Individuals. Couples. Groups. Workshops. Retreats. Intuition guides the work which is backed by 30 years of intense clinical specialty with addictions, trauma and dis-ease.

To put it bluntly, I am here for you. I want to hear about what is hurting you and stopping you from moving forward in a happy and positive way in your life. I want your input on what the problem is and what plan will work with you personally. We will gather all our information and decide on a plan of action to get you back to where you want to be as quickly as possible and develop a way to keep you there.

I see individuals who are experiencing difficulties related to chronic pain/illness, trauma, anxiety, depression, interpersonal conflicts, life transitions, self worth issues or having trouble adjusting to change. My hope is to help my clients gain insight, build resiliency, increase self compassion, and find meaning in their lives. Along with therapy, I also provide financial coaching to people who feel stuck or anxious when it comes to money. Financial coaching addresses the emotional side of money to heal clients' relationship with it, and to create sustainable change in their financial lives.

Life challenges have a way of interfering with our daily lives. I believe that the challenges come to help us re-examine our lives and discover ways to overcome difficulties and live life to the fullest.
