CPT
Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
I believe healing begins when you feel truly seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. My goal is to create a space where you can slow down, explore your experiences with honesty, and build the confidence to move forward in a way that feels authentic to you.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and founder of Holding Space Therapy, I understand that reaching out for therapy can feel vulnerable. Whether you're living with anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, burnout, grief, or the effects of chronic stress, you don't have to navigate it alone. I strive to meet each client with compassion, curiosity, and respect, recognizing that every person's story is unique.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and grounded in evidence-based practices, including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Together, we'll work to understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, process difficult experiences, develop practical coping strategies, and build a stronger connection with yourself and the life you want to create.
I have extensive experience supporting adults from diverse backgrounds, including first responders and their families, healthcare professionals, LGBTQ+ individuals, and members of BIPOC and Latino communities. I am committed to providing culturally responsive, affirming care where your identity, values, and lived experiences are respected and honored.
Healing isn't about becoming someone different—it's about reconnecting with the strengths that have always been within you. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel supported, challenged when appropriate, and empowered to create meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels safe and sustainable.

Dr. M at Insight Thoughts Psychotherapy Services (ITPS) Inc
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LPCC
You may be here because something “feels off”. Your thoughts run in circles. Your mood drops without warning. Old experiences still shape how you react, even when you want to move on. Therapy can help you make sense of all of that. I work with individuals who deal with anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, and stress tied to major life changes. The goal is not to label you. The goal is to understand what drives your thoughts, emotions, and actions so you can respond with more control and less pain. I use proven methods like CBT, DBT, and trauma-focused therapy. These approaches help us spot patterns that keep you stuck and build skills you can use in real life. We look at what is happening now, what shaped it, and what needs to change.
Your voice matters here. We decide together what you want help with and how we will work toward it. Therapy is not something done to you. It is something we do with purpose, guided by your needs. You do not need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start.

My approach is very down-to-earth, and I aim to use research-backed therapy interventions in a way that’s accessible and helpful. Those who work with me can expect to experience a safe and supportive space. I believe no two people need the same approach. The job of a counselor is to help you find your footing and support you on your unique journey. I offer a free 15-minute consultation to all potential clients to ensure we are a great fit.

Sandy Kong
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 119380
I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to grow at their own individual pace and to let acceptance and safety direct their learning and healing. I operate from a trauma-informed lense & being culturally sensitive. My therapeutic process is to provide the opportunity and space for people to heal and find hope, despite hardships. The best part of being a therapist for me, is being able to be a part of someone’s journey; walking alongside them and empowering them to develop, heal, and grow. I am always so honored and humbled to witness the resilience of people.
