Dr. Christina J. Gonzalez
Licensed Professional Counselor, EdD, LMHC, NCC
Are you facing challenges in your life? I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked around the world- in Mexico, in the US, in Germany, in Japan, and in US, and worked in a wide variety of settings, including extensive work in community mental health, substance abuse/addictions, child welfare, and with military and veteran populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including couples/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, immigration-related issues, abuse and trauma, divorce and separation, and grief and loss, among other things. I have also worked extensively with the Marine Corps in the area of force preservation and suicide prevention, and have worked with other branches of the service as well, both in the US and OCONUS. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I honestly believe we can work together to find solutions for almost any problem and that we can emerge from challenges stronger, and even more resilient.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness training, and other techniques. I also have incorporated many things I have learned in my travels and interactions with psychology in other cultures and countries into my extensive training. I will tailor our interactions and treatment to help you meet your goals and work collaboratively with you every step along the way.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

Maria Barber
Marriage and Family Therapist, MA, LMFT
ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS.
Hi, I specialize in treating relationship issues with significant others in an individual, couple, or family therapy setting. No matter which relationship in your life is causing distress - whether it's your marriage or your relationship with your parents, caregivers, or adult children - don’t allow the next holiday season to bring you down again because your relationships need work! This Christmas, start gift-giving early! Let your significant others know how much they mean to you by giving them the gift of repaired relationships. Wouldn’t it be nice if your partner listened to your needs? if your parents actually came to your holiday dinner AND everyone got along, if your adult sister wouldn’t use every chance she gets to make you feel bad, or if your mother showed gratitude instead of criticizing you all the time?
Relationships are complicated. Don’t lose yourself! Get a therapist. Contact me today.
