Daniel Gonzalez, Registered Psychological Associate
Therapy is a unique space where you can be yourself and be supported unconditionally. Regardless, being in therapy takes an immense amount of courage and vulnerability to share one’s hopes, insecurities, and losses with a therapist. After some years of experience as a therapist, I firmly believe in the transformative and potentially life-altering gifts therapy can bestow upon a person. As a therapist I aim to build a secure, safe space through creating a connection with my patients. I work alongside them to build trust, empathy, and mutual respect so that my patients can feel understood and safe to be themselves. I will walk along side you on your path towards self-discovery and help you find fulfillment and healing on your journey through life. My goal as a therapist is to be a guide for self-exploration within a safe space for you to grow and feel empowered to be your truest most authentic self.
