Edward Gonzalez

My communication style

My patients have indicated that they enjoy therapy sessions with me because it is like talking to a friend who really takes the time to listen, clarify, validate, and propose different solutions and ways to change perspectives or narratives, all without feeling judged. While in session, they feel safe, relaxed, and accepted.

My journey to mental healthcare

I studied psychology, counseling, and mental health care for my own self-understanding and to understand others. I have always been curious about what drives our wants, needs, actions, and perspectives in our lives. Knowing that I make a difference in people's lives is what drives me to do this type of work.

My goals for you

I educate you on the importance of setting goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, and time-bound.
