Are you in search of solutions for marriage conflict and infidelity, sexual addiction treatment/recovery or PTSD? As C.S. Lewis once penned, "Pain is God's megaphone to man." Pain often negates one's hope but pain can also lead us to a surrender, where the door of hope awaits our opening to the possibilities of change that will be the genesis of better tomorrows. I understand the significance of investing the resources of time and finances in search of solutions. To honor clients' efforts, I expedite time together by using an extensive and in-depth personal history and a variety of assessment tools to develop the focus of care.

You wish you could make it stop. The little voice inside your head that tells you, “You’ll never be good enough.” You’re losing sleep. You feel exhausted. And yet you just can’t seem to get that little voice to be quiet, even for just a few minutes a day. It started when you were a child, from a critical parent who demanded you get straight As on your report card, participate in numerous sports, and volunteer on the weekend. And when you weren’t perfect, their disappointment was known. You were used to the silent treatment. You were used to being afraid of their reaction. You were used to the unachievable standard.

I enjoy working with clients across the life span (birth- adulthood) specializing in complex cases. Complex could be defined as any of these: treatment failures, multiple or co-occurring diagnosis, intellectual disabilities or personality disorders. I believe we deserve to live with joy. I am passionate about helping those who feel that they are constantly functioning from a place of fear, suffering and stress. I prefer to utilizes a variety of modalities because I believe that one size does not fit all. Some of my favorite modalities are DBT, family systems therapy, expressive arts, ERP for OCD, EMDR & Prolonged Exposure for PTSD.

I have a deep passion for helping others navigate this journey due to my own battle with mental health issues in the past. I work with ages 12 and up for those coping with trauma, eating disorders, codependency/relationship issues, self-harm, obsessions/compulsions, depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, and substance abuse.

Where people develop healthy solutions for everyday living.

Whatever your needs may be, I’m here to offer support. Therapy is a process of growth and self-discovery, and sessions promote behavioral transformation by encouraging a positive outlook and the adoption of new attitudes and reactions.

Our thoughts, feelings and behaviors create our experiences. As a psychotherapist I believe therapy is a process of creating change. Therapy allows a person to explore and develop skills of awareness and recognition of patterns that needs to be changed or recontructed. In therapy you will explore and develop these skills to effectively cope with psychological, personal and behavioral transitions. I work with each individual on finding the right balance of mind, body and spirit connection that gives the person the ability to better understand and bring clarity related to personal goals and plan for a healed and satisfying future.

This wasn't what you expected. You knew motherhood would be hard but you didn't expect it to be this hard. You might be feeling anxious, sad, full of rage, alone, guilty, insecure, or totally overwhelmed. The pressure to do it all and to get it all right with the baby, keep the house clean, call people back, maybe go back to work all while trying to physically (and mentally/emotionally) recover and adjust to this huge life change is a lot and you deserve to get appropriate support during this transition in your life.

My name is Jackie Gonzalez, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been a practicing therapist for over 28 years. I obtained my Master's degree from Nova Southeastern University in 1996. Throughout my 28 years of working with clients, I have met many, many people with different difficulties in their lives.

There is hope, even when we navigate life without an owner’s manual. We can learn how to understand our experiences and let go of anxiety, depression, trauma, and interpersonal troubles. A bottom-up approach to integrating body, mind, and soul is necessary to tackle a new way of thinking, being, and doing. We start by gently befriending our body sensations and emotions because we don’t do as we think, we do as we feel. In that way, we learn to connect to our inner wisdom, inherent power, and resilience and move towards our best selves. These potential lives in you. Connection and inner safety are our birthrights.

I provide counseling by incorporating both intuitively driven work as well as Psychodynamic and Evidence Based modalities. Infused within the work is the encouraged reconnection to both the soul and the natural world. I believe that during the healing process from all types of trauma we can learn/relearn the feeling of joy as well as experience post traumatic growth.

Therapy can be intimidating to consider when you are having difficulty with elements of your life or relationships. Particularly during these uncertain times. I applaud you for taking the important step of researching the right clinician for you. My goal is to understand you as a person on your journey of growth, acceptance and change. You will not be treated as a set of symptoms or a diagnosis. We will approach your unique challenges/opportunities in a honest and trusting environment. I hope you gain a deeper awareness of yourself and greater confidence in your ability to reconcile the past, and navigate your present/future.

With more than 20 years in the field of mental health, I continue to feel excited that I get to do this work! It is a privilege to witness individuals move beyond a stuck place to a place where they can grow and find the promise of something better. My therapeutic approach consists of helping individuals identify their unique strengths and talents and then use these positive interpersonal resources to create healthier ways to cope with challenges.
