Hettie Gonzales- Guillaury

My communication style

My warm and open communication style reflects my commitment to creating a safe and accepting environment where exploring difficult themes becomes possible. I use reflective listening to help clarify your thoughts and feelings and better understand your experiences.

My journey to mental healthcare

Growing up, I watched a show where a therapist helped resolve family conflicts, and I wanted to be that therapist. The therapeutic relationship is a form of community, and providing this experience attracted me to the field. I believe individual change can facilitate change in your own community.

My goals for you

I encourage you to formulate your own goals and objectives, and we'll reflect on and discuss these throughout treatment to track progress. Goal setting is collaborative and may happen in the first session or later when you feel more comfortable.

Our first session

In the first session, I'll want to know about your past therapy experience, mental health history, and the presenting problem bringing you to therapy. I may ask questions to better understand your story and needs.
