Dioscelina Gonzalez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Dioscelina!

I am a first-generation Latinx therapist passionate about supporting the Latino and other marginalized communities. I am fluent in both Spanish and English.

My focus

I enjoy working with adults to help them gain back or develop their confidence and overcome generational trauma. I have experience helping clients identify their strengths and how to use them in their everyday lives.

My approach

My approach to therapy is rooted in client-centered principles, emphasizing empathy, respect, and collaboration. I tailor treatment to your specific needs, incorporating modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, and family systems therapy.

My communication style

I firmly believe in the importance of connecting and building a strong therapeutic relationship. I would describe my communication style as warm and welcoming, and my goal is to create an empathetic environment for you.

Our first session

In our first session, there will be an introduction and a warm atmosphere aimed at building rapport. We will discuss your goals for therapy, current challenges, and any relevant history. I will provide insight into what you can expect in future sessions and cover confidentiality and boundaries.
