Great to meet you!

My name is Basti Gonzalez. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a Licensed Chemical Dependency counselor in Texas. I have ten years experience in the field of treating substance use disorders. I have two years of individual and family therapy experience under the supervision of a LCSW prior to becoming an LCSW myself last year. I am passionate about helping others and I look forward to continue providing empathetic, empowering care to those I encounter.

My approach to therapy

Anytime I start therapy or counseling with someone new, my first focus is to build rapport by practicing empathy along with active and reflective listening.

What you can expect from me

Our first session will entail completing a clinical evaluation/assessment to determine the needs, goals, and objectives we would be working on during future therapy sessions.
