My name is Amanda Gonzalez, I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and a registered art therapist in the state of California and New Jersey. I utilize creative interventions to support my clients in understanding and expressing difficult emotions as well as discovering deeper aspects of their mental health. I am flexible in my approach as each person may benefit from a different style. However, I'm particularly interested in how the past plays a part in our current day experiences, and how we may free ourselves of unwanted (internal or external) burdens when we can understand their origin.

Most days, you pretend that everything's ok: you stay busy & put a smile on to get through it. On other days, it’s harder to get through the overwhelming emotions. There are even moments of panic where all your emotions hit you and you can’t escape them. Maybe you stay in bed all day. Or, maybe you go to work or school, but can’t focus & find yourself crying. You can’t figure out why. Support Can Make a Difference. Life can be challenging, especially for kids/teens these days. And transitions can be scary or overwhelming. Sometimes you need someone who has the tools for building healthy coping skills to support you through them.

Life is hard. In one moment, life as you know it can be completely changed. Are the things that once made you happy no longer making you happy? Have you been through a frightening experience that left you feeling scared, lonely, or even doubting who you are? Maybe you’ve been through a series of little things that you believe shouldn’t be bothering you, but they are. Do you feel completely misunderstood and alone? I get it. You are not alone. Everyone needs space to process life’s challenges and successes. No one is supposed to be able to figure it all out on their own.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
