Julia Gonzalez, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist

Hello my name is Julia Gonzalez, an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #148679. 

I bring a compassionate, person-centered approach to working with children, adolescents, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, and major life transitions. My clinical experience within the Kaiser healthcare system has deepened my understanding of how diverse life experiences shape emotional well-being. 

I draw from an integrative framework, tailoring each therapeutic journey to the unique needs of the individual. With training in CBT, DBT, MATCH, and mindfulness-based practices, I offer a collaborative and empathetic space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. I believe that therapy is a courageous act of self-discovery—an opportunity to share vulnerable parts of oneself without judgment. 

At the heart of my philosophy is the belief that growth happens in discomfort. I see my role not as a guide with all the answers, but as a fellow traveler—walking alongside clients as they author their own stories and reclaim their sense of agency.
