Ivette Gonzalez, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Ivette!

I work with children, teens, adults, and families facing ADHD, anxiety, relationship issues, marital conflict, infidelity, trauma, self-esteem challenges, attachment concerns, codependency, stress, and parenting struggles. My goal is to help you navigate these challenges with compassion and expertise.

My focus

I primarily work with adults facing life transitions, anxiety, trauma, relationship and attachment issues, infidelity recovery, and women's issues. Whether you're navigating a difficult phase or healing from past wounds, I'm here to support your growth.

My approach

I use an eclectic approach tailored to your needs, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered methods, Trauma-Focused techniques, and Attachment Theory. This flexibility allows me to meet you where you are and provide the most effective support for your unique situation.

My communication style

I highly value our therapeutic relationship and strive to create a welcoming environment. I work alongside you as your mental health advocate, modeling healthy connection. I also enjoy using humor when appropriate to help you feel at ease.

My journey to mental healthcare

I majored in Psychology and never looked back. I genuinely enjoy being a therapist and cannot imagine doing anything else.

My goals for you

I aim to create a collaborative relationship with clients and encourage them to advocate for their mental health needs. I collaboratively develop treatment goals with clients based on clients' personal goals for therapy, as well as based on clinical observation and knowledge.

Our first session

The first session focuses on understanding why you're seeking therapy. I'll assess your symptoms, background, relationships, and family history, and we'll collaboratively develop treatment goals. I also use this time to build rapport and answer any questions you have.
