More about Gwendolyn

- LCSW
Gwendolyn Gonzalez offers clients an opportunity to learn to live in their truth while they understand other individuals' perspectives. In sessions, clients will understand their triggers and identify healthy coping strategies that match their lifestyles. In my training and experience I have learned to serve as an active listener, understand different perspectives, support individuals with reframes, identify themes/patterns of behavior, and recognize the noble intent to shift one's perspective and behavior. I have been in the field of social services for the past 16 years. I am trained in different evidence-based and informed models, including multi-systemic therapy, functional family therapy, and mobility mentoring. I have over six years of experience working in the child welfare sector and I am trained in the trauma-focused treatment and domestic violence counseling.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

She’s just wonderful
She’s just wonderful.
Gwendolyn took time during our first meeting to get to know my needs for therapy, listened to my concerns, took time to ask about my current situation and coping mechanisms and took time to even explain to me her expertise that allowed for me to put trust into her as my therapist and allowed for me to have the confidence to carry on booking appointments with her for the foreseeable future.
