Beyond my role as a therapist…
I am a proud mother and wife who understands the intricate dance of balancing personal and professional responsibilities. Parenthood has granted me a deeper understanding of the challenges life presents, enriching my ability to connect with others on a profound level. My experiences as a mother inform my practice, fostering empathy and a holistic understanding of the unique struggles individuals and families face.

Do you create plans for your clients?
I create exclusive plans for each of my clients; below are some ideas of what we can work on together.
Overcoming Trauma (12-20 sessions recommended) — understand the science of post-traumatic stress and how to make growth and change towards healing, validation, and empowerment.
Inspiring Growth and Change (12-20 session recommended) — understand the impacts of growth in your life and create a successful plan towards change.
Enhancing Couples (4-7 sessions recommended)— understand the impact of communication enhancements in your relationships and create a successful effective communication and conflict resolution plan, specifically with married or engaged couples.
If you are experiencing something that is NOT on this list, I would still love to hear about it, and we can work together to find the best person to help you.
what ages do you work with?
Amber Gonzalez LPC sees clients individually (starting at 13 years of age and older) and in families (children can be as young as 8 years old for family work).
WHAT TYPE OF THERAPY DO YOU DO?
I have been trained in a number of evidence-based treatments including but not limited to:
Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT)
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Nurtured Heart Certified Trainer
Traditional Talk Therapy
I incorporate these treatments and tailor my approach based on your needs. Video sessions are weekly or bi-weekly.
As required by the National Association for Counselors and the state licensing board of New Jersey & Georgia, I continue to seek education and training in these areas and others to further my knowledge and expertise.
