Luciana Gonzalez

Therapist

Virtual • Wisconsin


I specialize in helping individuals navigate the overwhelming waves of anxiety, depression, everyday stress management, and the deep complexities of grief or loss. Together, we will also use a supportive, trauma-informed lens to safely process PTSD and find healthier paths through substance use and addiction. My ultimate goal is to walk alongside you with an open heart and compassionate perspective.

I show up as a genuine, non‐judgmental person first and a clinician second. My passion for this work comes from having someone who once offered me the space to talk, heal, and grow—and I believe everyone deserves that same space.
