Great to meet you!

My name is Elizabeth Gonzalez Hernandez, and I am a bilingual mental health counselor providing services in English and Spanish. I hold a Master’s degree in School Counseling with a focus on Mental Health Counseling and have four years of experience in mental health and substance use services.

I have worked with children as young as 4 and adults over 70, as well as individuals from diverse backgrounds. My experience includes mental health and substance use counseling, special education, school counseling, and educational administration.

I believe everyone deserves to feel heard, respected, and accepted. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. My goal is to meet you where you are, work toward your goals, and help you develop healthy coping skills to navigate life’s challenges. I look forward to hearing your story and supporting you on your journey.


Mi nombre es Elizabeth Gonzalez Hernandez y soy consejera de salud mental bilingüe. Ofrezco servicios en inglés y español. Tengo una Maestría en Consejería Escolar con enfoque en Salud Mental y cuatro años de experiencia en salud mental y tratamiento de trastornos por uso de sustancias.

He trabajado con niños desde los 4 años hasta adultos mayores de 70, así como con personas de diversos antecedentes y circunstancias. Mi experiencia incluye consejería de salud mental y uso de sustancias, educación especial, consejería escolar y administración educativa.

Creo que todas las personas merecen sentirse escuchadas, respetadas y aceptadas. Me esfuerzo por crear un espacio seguro, comprensivo y libre de juicios.

My approach to therapy

I believe every person is unique, and therapy should reflect your individual needs, experiences, and goals. My approach is flexible, compassionate, and focused on meeting you where you are. I provide a safe, supportive, and judgment-free space where you can feel comfortable sharing openly.

Together, we can explore difficult experiences, understand your thoughts and emotions, and learn how they affect your daily life. I will help you stay present, build self-awareness, and develop healthy coping skills.

My goal is to support you through current challenges while giving you practical tools you can use independently. I hope therapy helps you feel understood, empowered, and more confident in handling life’s challenges.

Juntos podemos explorar experiencias difíciles, comprender tus pensamientos y emociones y reconocer cómo influyen en tu vida diaria. Te ayudaré a mantenerte en el presente, desarrollar autoconocimiento y aprender estrategias saludables para afrontar las dificultades.

Mi objetivo es apoyarte en los desafíos actuales mientras desarrollas herramientas que puedas utilizar por tu cuenta. Espero que la terapia te ayude a sentirte comprendido/a, fortalecido/a y con mayor confianza para enfrentar los desafíos de la vida.
