Natalie Chavez Gonzalez

My communication style

I create an environment that is calm, warm, free of judgment, and fosters unconditional regard. I strive to provide comfort and acceptance through being accommodating, flexible, and casual in how I speak with you.

My journey to mental healthcare

I became a therapist after learning that many mental health conditions can be prevented through proper care and acceptance. My main drive comes from realizing that the desire to be accepted unconditionally doesn't go away with age. My role is to help you meet these needs by identifying barriers to self-acceptance and finding ways to heal.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting as a way to determine how to best use our time together. I like to collaboratively create goals that are easy to track, guiding what you want from treatment and ensuring I provide the best possible care in helping you reach your desired outcomes.

Our first session

My main goal is simply to connect and put at ease any worries about speaking to a therapist. I will ask questions about how you've been managing current stress to capture a snapshot of your life. You should expect to connect with me through my listening and responding effectively as I get to know you and build rapport.
