Welcome to a safe space for healing & self-discovery!I'm here to support you on your journey towards a happier & more fulfilled life. My passion lies in helping those who are dedicated to self-improvement & seeking guidance on a path to healing. Life is often challenging, we all face obstacles that can take a toll on our mental health. Whether it's difficult relationships, life transitions, past traumas, or ups and downs that come with being human, it's completely natural to experience moments of doubt & struggle. It's during these times that I want to extend my hand to help you find your way back to a place of balance and strength.

Have you been feeling confused, depressed, worried or having intense fears about life & new transitions? Do you find yourself reflecting on past hurt/ trauma affecting you today? Do you feel stressed? Have you experienced a loss or separation? Have you been feeling like life is not what you expected? Having challenges fulfilling your life goals? Have you been drinking or using something not so healthy to sleep/relax? Does your relationship feel rough or stuck and disconnected? Are you feeling overwhelmed with parenting? Does your child have a chronic illness; struggle with: identity, bullying, friends, & focus?

I strongly believe that every individual should be treated with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. It takes strength to seek change in your life and therapy is a good starting point. If you are ready to take that step,

Are you seeking happiness, contentment, improved relationships, more effective communication, more control over your emotions, more satisfaction & success in life, & a feeling of being accepted, respected, & loved? Then you've come to the right place. I work with individuals, couples. & families to dramatically improve coping skills, which they can then utilize to become their best selves, meet their goals, develop, build, and nurture important relationships, create successes, and bring into existence the lives they've only dreamed of having.

Caring for ourselves is similar to tending a garden. It should be looked after, nurtured, and maintained. Sometimes weeds creep in and prevent plants from growing; withering away what was once a beautiful garden. The same is true for the garden of our souls. As your counselor, I will provide a safe and supportive environment for you to heal and grow into the person you were created to be. I would be honored to walk alongside you to help you recover and improve your emotional and mental well-being.

My name is Jackie Gonzalez, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I have been a practicing therapist for over 28 years. I obtained my Master's degree from Nova Southeastern University in 1996. Throughout my 28 years of working with clients, I have met many, many people with different difficulties in their lives. I notice that the clients that have come to see me, are stuck in making attempts to resolve, change, and create solutions to what is affecting them.

Taking that first step and acknowledging we can't always resolve our difficulties on our own is monumental. In turn, choosing just the right psychologist with whom you can develop a trusting relationship and work collaboratively to meet your individual needs is of utmost importance.

Destination You is a boutique mental wellness service designed to help tweens, teens, and young adults step into a version of themselves that is aligned with their values and goals. By hand selecting only a few clients to work with at a time, you can rest assured that your Gen Zer is getting my complete attention and will build self-awareness, learn the foundations of mental wellness, identify their values, and learn how to live authentically so that they can develop into the version of themselves that they want to be.

Everybody needs support in difficult times and finding professional help is the best option to process problems in a safe and private environment where you feel validated and valued. I am here to support you and guide you through your journey. I am a bilingual (English-Spanish) Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in Florida and California, with experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, seniors, families, and groups dealing with problems such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and stress. I am a systemic, relational, and strength-based therapist who focus on your positive characteristics, resources, and skills.

By examining life patterns and understanding your emotions, we can develop effective strategies to alleviate symptoms and foster lasting change. With extensive experience in overcoming life obstacles and interpersonal difficulties, I am dedicated to empowering clients to build resilience and achieve their full potential

Welcome, I'm glad you were guided to me. You probably landed here because you identify with feeling stuck in an aspect of your life, are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship or family issues, or an addiction. You may also be interested in addressing trauma or breaking unhealthy generational cycles. As a Certified Clinical Trauma Therapist, I eclectically blend Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, Somatic Experiencing, and Adlerian Therapy to create a trauma-focused and culturally-aware healing space that is safe, empathetic and supportive.

Do you feel hopeless or overwhelmed? Have you felt discouraged from asking for help due to fear of judgement, feeling ashamed, or doubtful your situation can improve? Do you want to improve your situation, but are afraid of doing it alone? Then allow me to help you navigate the problems that are causing you distress, and most importantly, help you problem solve and achieve your goals. I pride myself on promoting hope, empowering and helping my clients gain the confidence and the coping skills needed for a successful future. Despite what you are going through help is not far away. You can become a better version of you.

Life can be difficult. Managing the ups and downs of life can be especially stressful for those suffering from anxiety, depression, eating disorders and addiction. Putting down unhelpful habits can be hard. Even if you are in recovery, maintenance is not always easy. We often turn to things to make us feel better, not realizing the damage this does. Taking things one day at a time and choosing healthy coping mechanisms can be easier said than done. Sometimes extra support is needed to make the right choices.

I have over 19 years of diverse experience in the social work and mental health field. I entered the profession because I wanted to help people learn the skills necessary to live their best lives. I have served in community behavioral health outpatient, residential group treatment, and general healthcare settings primarily with individuals, children, adolescents, families, and groups with mental health and co-occurring conditions. I look forward to serving you and your family.
