Sonia Gonzales

Hi! My name is Sonia, and I look forward to supporting you with your mental health healing journey. If your mood can flip from complacency to overwhelming emotions at a given moment, if you feel numb and tend to distract yourself to avoid emotions, or if your thoughts tend to spiral into a mental whirlwind, you may have an unprocessed experience of loss. 

I specialize in helping individuals, couples, and families identify these reflexive patterns, determine the root cause beyond the grief, and cultivate personal growth. While many psychotherapy modalities exist, I believe in curating a method personalized to you that combines proven techniques. Together, we will build a specialized treatment plan that facilitates sustainable healing with actionable steps that hone your inner strength.

Along with my current pursuit of a PhD in Counseling Psychology, my background includes 15 years of leadership experience in healthcare administration where I built specialized programs as long-lasting solutions to community health challenges. As an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist, I bring culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care that takes a systems-based as well as holistic approach fortified by my education, professional expertise, and lived experience. I take all factors of a person’s life into account, and offer a warm, safe environment that builds trust amidst the vulnerability. At the end of our sessions, my aim is to empower you to see yourself as a person of courage and hope. By taking fragments from the road already taken, we will carve a new path ahead of self-assurance and mental well-being.
