Santa Ana, California therapist: Mary Gonzalez, licensed clinical social worker
MI

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.
