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.

Kaitlin Joyce Therapy & Consulting, LLC
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW, NATC, TCTSY-F
I specialize in working with high-achieving adults (18+) who are outwardly thriving, but carry the invisible wounds of narcisstic abuse, complex trauma, emotional neglect, or early attachment ruptures. You may be someone who’s loving, thoughtful, and aware—but feels stuck in patterns of self-criticism, doubt, unstable emotions, or people-pleasing.
You are not broken! Together, we’ll uncover the roots of your distress to help you reclaim your inner peace, regulate your nervous system, and create healthy relationships. I offer a safe, collaborative space for you to learn how to manage your feelings, find your voice and heal from the past.

mindful vision counseling
Counselor/Therapist, LPC-S, ADHD-CCSP
Ugh... just ugh. Do you ever feel as if you're letting life pass you by? Like those around you seem to be living their best lives, but somehow you just can't get there (and predict yet another Netflix binge on the horizon as a flimsy attempt to bury those feelings)? I get it. Virtual counseling can be the perfect platform for us to connect and work on your goals in a convenient, safe space. We have the very real advantage of being able to meet up from day one in a place of ease, comfort and hope, whatever that may look like for you.
It is my belief that every human deserves to feel safe, cared for, and respected. It would be an honor to collaborate with you in doing my part in helping to make that happen. Will today be just another day, or will you choose to make it count and invest in your future self? Let's chat and see if we might be a good fit!

Cindy Yu
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT

She is well-trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, solution-focused therapy, Bowen’s theory, Gottman Method, CBT, and more. Cindy believes that each client is comprised of unique yet charismatic components such as personal upbringings, religious beliefs, and cultural backgrounds, that all contribute to narrate a cohesive personal story. This fundamental ideology has cultivated her into offering her clients unconditional positive regard and respect, while tailoring her treatment orientations to better serve each client’s individuality. Her passion is to help individuals, couples, and families to understand the misunderstood, to discover hope from the hopelessness, to speak the unspoken, and to seek possibilities through the impossible. Cindy also has a background in the medical field where she has obtained a strong foundational knowledge for medical diagnosis and medications. She understands the intricacy between medical burden and mental health.
