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.

My approach is compassionate, holistic, and grounded in real-life strategies that support healing and growth.
Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, or questions around intimacy and identity, I create a nonjudgmental space where you can explore what’s going on and move toward feeling more connected—to yourself and to others.
You don’t have to have it all figured out to begin. If you're ready to take that first step, I’m here to walk alongside you.

Rebecca Phillips, MS, LPC, CCTP, EMDR Therapist in Frisco Texas
Licensed Professional Counselor, Master of Science, LPC, EMDR Therapist, CCTP: Complex Trauma
Love should not hurt. If you find yourself worried, anxious, or overwhelmed in your relationships, I can help. Do you lay in bed at night with racing thoughts, wondering what you seem to keep getting wrong or worrying about whether your partner will leave you? Do you worry that you’re not enough or that you’re sometimes too much? Do you live in fear of rejection or abandonment? You may have an anxious attachment style or even complex trauma (issues from your past that present in your current relationships). If love hurts, I can help.

I specialize in helping adults who struggle with self-confidence, worry (anxiety), and trauma (usually from stressful childhoods or past relationships) find clarity, calmness, and confidence. When my clients come to see me, they're often distressed in their relationships. They're smart, kind, and successful. But they're often self-sabotaging, and they don't even realize it. In our work together, my clients learn how to show up in their lives in a way that fosters fulfillment. You can have that, too. Imagine your potential when you understand and manage what's holding you back. You can have happy, healthy relationships when you're the best version of yourself. You can do this! I can help.
