Great to meet you!

My name is Elizabeth Gonzalez Hernandez. I hold a Master's degree in School Counseling with Mental Health Counseling. I have experience working with different populations struggling with substance use disorders. I have experience working in the mental health field as a mental health counselor and substance abuse counselor for 4 years. I have worked with different populations throughout my field. I have worked with children as young as 4 years old to individuals over 70 years old. I have experience in special education, school counseling, and educational administration. That background has helped me better understand my clients as I work with their needs. I am bilingual, as I speak English and Spanish. I work with any population regardless of their sexual orientation, identity, gender, age, religion, or economic status. If there is anything I can do to help you, I will. If I can't, I will try to help connect you with those who can.

My approach to therapy

Every person is different. My approach changes according to their needs. Either way, I will always listen without judgment. Life situations can be difficult to face, but together we can explore those difficult moments to see what emotions and thoughts lie behind them. I will help you stay in the present as you learn to recognize what you feel, where you feel it, and how you feel it. As we move forward on this path together, I will give you the tools you need to learn to cope with life's situations and encounters on your own. The skills you acquire will help you overcome difficult situations as you learn to manage them.

Cada persona es diferente. Mis enfoques cambian según sus necesidades. De cualquier manera, siempre escucharé sin juzgar. Las situaciones de la vida pueden ser difíciles de afrontar, pero juntos podemos explorar esos momentos difíciles para ver qué emociones y pensamientos se esconden tras ellos. Te ayudaré a estar en el presente mientras aprendes a reconocer lo que sientes, dónde lo sientes y cómo lo sientes. A medida que avanzamos juntos en este camino, te daré las herramientas necesarias para que aprendas a afrontar las situaciones y los encuentros de la vida por tu cuenta. Las habilidades que adquieras te ayudarán a superar situaciones difíciles a medida que aprendes a gestionarlas.
