Heather Gonzales
Introduction
I specialize in working with individuals and families with experiences related to adoption, foster care, and kinship care. As an adult adoptee, I'm committed to coming alongside others working through trauma, grief, adverse childhood experiences, attachment injury, relinquishment/removal, identity formation, relationship issues, or navigating reunion and moving toward wellbeing and a sense of peace. I use my lived experience, my journey of processing, and my personal dedication to continual learning to actively partner with my clients. I use a collaborative, humanistic, feminist, and art-based (for those interested) approach that is curious, compassionate, and direct. Together we'll work toward solutions, reduced symptoms, deeper understanding, healthy family relationships, and empowered choices. Life offers many challenges, especially for those with early parental separation or trauma. Deciding to start therapy can be difficult, and finding a therapist who understands our unique history can make a significant difference. Whether you are working through past hardships and trauma or current relationship difficulties, you don't need to do this alone.
