Therapists » Clinical Social Work/Therapist
My name is Edica Gonzalez, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. My approach is client-centered; together, we determine the best intervention to support this journey. I treat a variety of challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief/loss, anger, self-esteem, and familial/relationship issues. I currently work with active duty military personnel, adults, and adolescents 16+. I am comfortable with treating clients with PTSD, complex trauma, relational issues, depression, anxiety, phobias, domestic violence/sexual assault survivors, anger, and self-esteem issues. I utilize an integrative approach that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing, Accelerated Resolution Therapy, Emotional Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness practices. My approach is to create a safe space with the client and have a healthy rapport. I ask questions to get to know the client's perspective and cultural background. It is important that my client feel comfortable to maximize their therapeutic experience.
