About me

Hello there! Thank you for contacting me!

I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked around the world- in Mexico, in the US, in Germany, in Japan, and in US, and worked in a wide variety of settings, including extensive work in community mental health, substance abuse/addictions, child welfare, and with military and veteran populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including couples/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, immigration-related issues, abuse and trauma, divorce and separation, and grief and loss, among other things. I have also worked extensively with the Marine Corps in the area of force preservation and suicide prevention, and have worked with other branches of the service as well, both in the US and OCONUS. With children, I have worked extensively in both Spanish and in English in helping teens deal with a wide variety of issues- including issues related to problematic behaviors, family issues, attention issues, stress, self-esteem, depression, anxiety, social issues, bullying/harassment, gangs, addictions, and just dealing with adolescence and what it takes to find your way in life.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I also believe in meeting teens and parents where they are at and in providing candid, supportive, and REAL feedback without babying or talking down to the teens I work with. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness training, and other techniques. I also have incorporated many things I have learned in my travels and interactions with psychology in other cultures and countries into my extensive training. I will tailor our interactions and treatment to help you meet your goals and work collaboratively with you every step along the way.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you!

I look forward to working with you!

Written on Mar 11, 2024 after therapy with Christina for 3 years and 11 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and coping with life changes

I had taken a break from teencounseling.com for a couple of years but coming back was so easy and Dr. Gonzalez did not miss a single beat, she is professional, warm, kind and really gets to the bone of the matter. I couldn't ask for a better therapist and I am so happy to be back.

Dr. Gonzalez helps me gain new insights and perspective. She helped me navigate big changes like cancer diagnosis as well as annoying little squabbles with my husband. Through it all, I count on her wisdom and professional expertise.

Written on Jun 05, 2023 after therapy with Christina for 4 years and 4 months on issues concerning depression, relationship issues, and trauma and abuse

Dr. Gonzalez is an excellent listener. I appreciate that she is open to all modalities of ways to find support in addition to talk therapy. She allows me the freedom to speak at length during our sessions and never makes me feel like I'm being rushed. I really appreciate that I was paired with her almost 4 years ago.

Having her there to help guide me to a better me has been indescribable. Not having to do this alone has made it worth it.

Written on Oct 21, 2022 after therapy with Christina for 3 months on issues concerning relationship issues

Dr G is absolutely amazing! She’s super understanding and very supportive in her advice. She’s helped me through a rather hard event and I’ve never once felt ignored or dismissed. She’s an absolute pleasure to work with!

Written on Oct 05, 2022 after therapy with Christina for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, sleeping disorders, parenting issues, self esteem, anger management, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue

Dr. González has been incredible for my mental health. I really cannot recommend her enough. I’ve been to therapist for the last ten years for a variety of reasons, and none have been as efficient and helpful as she has. Truly she has helped me through some of the toughest times I’m my personal relationships while also providing the insight I need on myself to a better person. She’s a God Send, and my mental health has never been better.

Written on Sep 30, 2022 after therapy with Christina for 2 months on issues concerning relationship issues, family conflicts, and coping with life changes

Christina is so warm, understanding and straight to the point. I love talking to her and her messages are explicit

Written on May 18, 2022 after therapy with Christina for 1 year and 9 months on issues concerning trauma and abuse, and bipolar disorder

I love working with Dr. González on my mental health needs. She has a calming voice and listens to my concerns and worries. She also keeps you on track and gives you a different prospective. I have learned useful tools and coping skills. I stopped therapy for almost a year and when I was ready to return, it felt like I never took a break. I would strongly recommend her.

Dr. González has a flexible schedule, but her appointments book up quick. I would recommend making a follow up appointment right after your session is over. There are no assignments, which it bothers me when therapist give you assignments like when you are in school. She may tell you to reflect or try something but that’s it.

Written on Feb 15, 2021 after therapy with Christina for 7 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, relationship issues, sleeping disorders, and self esteem

Dr. Gonzalez is a transformational coach that gives 110% to each and every client. Her warmth, colorful personality, and deep understanding makes talking with her a joy and also so very cathartic! She listens intently, and processes deeply, I always feel so heard and understood! She also just has a KILLER sense of humor and makes me laugh all the time! She has a thorough understanding of mental illness and has a holistic and solution-based approach that helps you not only recover, but THRIVE even when it seems like it's impossible to do so. Mental illness doesn't have to define you, you CAN manage with coping strategies and live a happy and healthy life without the heavy & draining burden constantly. She has taught me that by putting in some work, you can change the thoughts patterns that run rampant in your mind, and with maintenance of healthy habits & extra self care, you can OWN your life and who you are, no matter what your past looked like. So thankful for having Dr. G in my support system!

Written on Jan 20, 2021 after therapy with Christina for 3 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and career difficulties

I've seen a handful of counsellors in my 28 years, some who have been great, but Dr Christina, with her absolute wealth of compassion, sympathy, and understanding, supported with years of experience and well-rounded knowledge, was the first one to suggest that many of my struggles could be attributed to ADHD. After receiving a diagnosis from my family doctor, and more of my own research, I feel the most profound relief, and JOY, that Christina was able to listen to my myriad of problems and concerns and guide me to a disorder, a diagnosis, and ultimately a solution. I cannot thank you enough Christina, and cannot recommend your services more highly

So helpful

Written on Sep 27, 2020 after therapy with Christina for 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and trauma and abuse

I wrote a review about Christina already a while back, but was asked to do it again.

All in all, she is wonderful. She's like my escape from life, in the sense that we talk to each other and I feel like I can tell her everything. Just today, I replied to a message she'd sent me and she was really helpful when it came to the things I'd ask about. I highly recommend her and may she get the best of everything. ❤️

Written on Sep 24, 2020 after therapy with Christina for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleeping disorders, anger management, and adhd

Dr. Gonzalez is a wonderful counselor. The issues I discussed with her were very difficult to talk about and yet she made me feel very comfortable. She is an excellent listener and offers insights and practical ways to help without being judgmental or “preachy”. My issues were very long-standing and complicated; with her doctorate level of education, she gave me an extra measure of confidence in her expertise.
Dr. Gonzalez meets you where YOU are —emotionally and intellectually— and doesn’t use a “one size fits all” approach. I also greatly appreciated that she didn’t speak in cliches or psycho-babble (a personal pet peeve).
Needless to say, I would highly recommend Dr. Gonzalez.

She offered me an ideal mix of simply hearing my stories/echoing them back to me, asking insightful questions that kept me thinking for days after, and practical advice to prevent falling into anxiety.

Written on Mar 26, 2019 after therapy with Christina for 2 weeks

Dr. Gonzalez is a good listener from my experience with her. I have had two sessions to date with her and we say goals for the first one and then went into the issues in the second one and picked on a specific one to discuss. She gave me a tool to start using to help combat the issue I discussed with her. I have yet to get to the part of experiencing her as a therapist in terms of helping me resolve these issues but I'm sure she is well capable to do these eventually for me as time progresses on. I would definitely recommend her to people I know, once I have seen my results.

Dr. Gonzalez is very understanding, open minded, honest, and open about herself, which makes her easy to talk to. I am surprised that I have found someone that is this easy to discuss these things with.

I can not express how much I appreciate Dr Christina help. She is the most compassionate caring person I ever saw in my life. I was suffering from PTSD and career difficulties and she made me feel validated and accepted and renewed my energy so much that i now feel that I can face ANY challenge. Imagine that one session made me feel so much better because of her warm nature. If anyone is facing any challenge then I will recommend Dr Christina Gonzalez because she made a big difference in me after just a couple of sessions.

I had my first session with Dr. Gonzalez, and I am already feeling a sense of relief. I was nervous before our video call started, as opening up to someone I don’t know is a little uneasy. Christina made me feel very comfortable; she listened and I understood and felt connected with what she was saying. Very grateful.

I want to share that I feel so fortunate that teencounseling.com matched me with Dr Christina Gonzalez. She was perfect for me at a time when I needed help with some personal difficulties. Her understanding, support and help to work through my recent transition into retirement after 17 years of working in an area I was passionate about to a complete lifestyle change moving onto my sister’s property. She was very professional through out discussing other personal family issues with her.
I feel like I have arrived a much more stable and confident place to be able to move forward with my new life journey!
Thank you Dr Christina
