Marcos Gonzalez

My communication style

My tone is calm, using active listening in a non-judgmental way.

My journey to mental healthcare

The journey to become a therapist started with watching my parents serve with love and unconditionally. As a kid, I was curious to understand how things work. As a teenager, I linked understanding behaviors with the humanity I saw in my parents and felt it as a vocation. I can look back and say with conviction I made the right decision.

My goals for you

I like to define goals as a player-coach relationship. Sometimes the person dealing with distress isn't able to see direction clearly. I help from the outside to give that sense of direction. I believe in your autonomy to set goals, but I also like to challenge you and offer suggestions to help you improve.

Our first session

You can expect an open space to speak freely about your main concerns while feeling listened to, understood, and not hurried. We'll discuss therapeutic boundaries, expectations, and main goals, or at least identify what's the priority to work with.

I identify as...
