A Little About Jose:

Hi, my name is Jose Gonzalez and I’m an outpatient Therapist here at Youable Emotional Health.
The first thing I want to do is commend you for taking the time to consider mental health counseling. Opening up about your life can be an intimidating prospect, but I assure you that I have every intention of providing every client I have with a welcoming environment where they can show up authentically and be met with positive regard. I believe that through saying exactly what you need to say, and a guided process of examination and reflection, we can work together to arrive at a point of clarity regarding the situation before you and how to move forward in a way aligned with your values. I don’t try to “fix” my clients, because I believe they are already enough to face their challenges, rather through empathetic listening, enhancing motivation, strategizing around goals, and examining barriers, I believe that we can lay out a path that you can follow to be a bit closer to where you want to be.

I have 7 years of experience in the mental field and primarily utilize elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing. I have worked in various settings including schools, community centers, inpatient substance use treatment centers, and outpatient clinics. I’m comfortable working with youths (8 and older), adolescents, and adults. I have experience assisting with a wide range of diagnosis including anxiety, depression, PTSD, and various others listed in the DSM. I have a commitment to recognizing that every client is unique and so are their treatment needs, and I place a lot of value in collaborating with clients to find what works best for them.

When I am not in the office, I play a lot of sports, appreciate time in nature, and enjoy a good horror or sci-fi movie here and there.

Jose sees clients in Spanish and English.
