Vanessa Gonzalez

Hello! My name is Vanessa and there is a chance I have been where you are. As humans, we will all encounter moments of pain, grief, and loss. There will be times where we feel directionless and unsure of what we truly want. Perhaps you are facing a big change in your life and are wondering how you could possibly cope with this. I've been there and recognize the strength it takes to reach out for help. It is a great step towards building self-compassion! I know the importance of having a space where I am accepted and also challenged. Using mostly Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I strive to help you build acceptance towards challenging thoughts and feelings, so that you can reconnect to what really matters- your values! Starting therapy takes guts and can be stressful, which is why I offer free 15 minute phone consultations to ensure we're on the same page and I'm able to help address your concerns!
