Therapist

Healing flourishes when you feel seen, heard, and met with warmth and curiosity. My approach is trauma-informed and collaborative, with a focus on creating safety, fostering self‐compassion, and helping you move toward a more balanced, meaningful life. I work with individuals and couples, recognizing how stress, mood, and life circumstances shape emotional patterns, connection, and how your body responds to stress. I’m committed to offering a steady, thoughtful space where your values, boundaries, and goals guide our work at a pace that feels right for you.

Hi there! I'm Casey Gonzales, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with over 20 years of experience supporting adults and adolescents through life’s challenges. I earned my Master’s degree from Augusta State University and am licensed in Louisiana, with telehealth availability for clients in select states. Throughout my years in practice, I’ve worked with people navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, difficulty setting boundaries, perfectionism, people-pleasing tendencies, and decision-making struggles.

I strive to make therapy a space where clients can deeply explore their experiences, gain insight, and build practical skills for making meaningful change.
