Mary Gonzalez
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW
Life is full of change, and even positive transitions can feel overwhelming. Whether you're starting a new career, ending a relationship, becoming a parent, coping with an empty nest, relocating, retiring, graduating, or navigating another significant life change, transitions often bring uncertainty, stress, grief, and questions about your identity or future.
At Holding Space Therapy, we understand that major life changes can affect your emotional well-being, relationships, confidence, and sense of stability. You may feel anxious about the unknown, overwhelmed by new responsibilities, or find yourself grieving the life you once knew. Therapy provides a supportive space to process these emotions while helping you adapt to change with greater resilience and self-compassion.
Using evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, EMDR, and trauma-informed care, we'll work together to identify unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen coping skills, regulate difficult emotions, and build confidence as you move through life's transitions. If past experiences or unresolved trauma are making change feel especially difficult, therapy can also help you process those experiences so they no longer hold you back. Our goal is not simply to help you get through change, but to help you grow from it. Together, we'll explore your strengths, clarify your values, establish healthy boundaries, and create practical strategies that support your personal and emotional well-being.

Danielle Esses
Psychologist, PsyD
Periods of change—even positive ones—can bring uncertainty, anxiety, or a sense of losing your footing. Therapy focuses on helping you make sense of what’s shifting, stay grounded through the transition, and move forward in a way that feels intentional rather than reactive.
