My name is Shanna Gonzales and I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Bakersfield, California, and working with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and adolescents specializing in stress, anxiety, trauma, and anger management. I have found that my style and approach are a good fit for children, teens, and young adults who may be dealing with trauma, the challenges of life transitions, and social pressures such as anxiety, depression, grief, and stress. I work to help my clients build skills to allow them to feel better about themselves and develop a more positive outlook overall.

My name is Ingrid Carr. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I have spent over a decade working in the mental health field. My passion is working with women as they approach various stages in their life. I enjoy supporting individuals as they go through their journey. My approaches are cognitive behavioral, client centered, and solution focused. All three serve my clients in helping them understand their journey in life. I am friendly and I use open communication. I want clients to feel comfortable talking to me about their challenges.

When your relationship is falling apart, nothing is more painful, lonely, and frightening. Your once best friend is now a foreign stranger, and the foundation of a family you participated in building is falling apart right before your eyes. The pain can become unbearable, and the best you can do is manage the pain so it doesn't completely destroy you. In these moments finding a solution may elude you or seem to be beyond your ability. Seeking a professional during such times can help you, and the ones you care most about in this world, get your life back on track.

We want to feel safe, secure and connected to ourselves, our families/friends and our communities. Obstacles to doing so can include circumstances outside of our control and also the results of our own learned patterns and behaviors. Therapy is an integral part of healing past trauma, validating one's thoughts/feelings/emotions, identifying dysfunctional patterns of engagement and learning new skills to cope. Through work with a therapist, it is possible to shape a life and relationships that include confidence, calm and presence that is so often missed in the busyness of society today.

I am well versed in working with individuals who have anxiety, depression trauma of all types, phobias such as fear of flying, public speaking, driving, performance, etc. I also have an extensive history of treating those with substance use and other addictive or behavioral challenges.

have a deep passion for connecting with others and supporting them in their mental health journeys. I understand that therapy is a vulnerable process that requires trust, which is why I work from a person-centered approach. Meaning that I will meet you where you are at currently in your healing journey and provide the support that you need along the way. In our work together, I will challenge and empower you to make the changes that you want to see in your own life.

You've got this and I've got you. Life is a lot sometimes. It can be overwhelming and seem impossible even. Kids and young adults are facing a different world than their parents and teachers grew up in. Therapy can help, whether you or your child is dealing with something heavy, or if you are aiming to grow and achieve certain goals. Calling a therapist can be scary, especially if you tried and didn’t get a response before. But I hope that with a deep breath, you will call me to see if I can help. Give yourself that chance.

I am interested in wellness and holistic approaches to therapy. My work focuses on helping my clients achieve growth. Growth can take many forms in one's life such as: improved relationships, improved sense of self, transition across barriers, achievement of goals, career success, reduction of painful/unwanted symptoms, etc. My approach focuses on understanding the core of suffering and stagnation while uncovering what stands in the way of growth. I now provide Psychedelic Assisted Psychotherapy as a optional compliment to therapy.

I have experience working in Adult Day Care, Group Homes, Residential/Intensive Outpatient (eating disorder), and Acute Psychiatric Hospital Settings.

I believe in the hope and possibilities for change in every individual. Profound change and transformation in our lives takes place when we lean into our vulnerability in an environment which is safe, full of genuine concern, empathy, compassion and connection. I work to provide this for every client.
