Adriana Gonzalez, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Adriana!

I am a licensed therapist dedicated to helping clients navigate challenges, build resilience, and create meaningful changes.

My focus

I work with teens, adults, and families navigating difficult and overwhelming life stressors. Together we will explore what is holding you back, build coping skills, and work towards goals that help you feel more confident and in control.

My approach

My approach draws from Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, DBT, somatic, and mindfulness approaches. Client describe me as warm, nurturing, direct, and easy to talk to.

My communication style

My communication style is warm, genuine, and direct. I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable talking about anything, while also providing honest feedback, practical guidance, and gentle accountability. I believe therapy works best when clients are both supported and challenged to grow.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey has taught me that healing is possible, even in life's most difficult moments, and I'm passionate about helping others find hope and move forward.

My goals for you

My role is to help you make sense of what's getting in the way and figure out what comes next. Together, we'll identify patterns, build practical coping skills, create realistic goals that fit your life. I'll support you every step of the way, but I'll also challenge you when needed.

Our first session

During the first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming space where you are heard, valued, and accepted, paired with goal-setting.
