Kristen Gonzalez is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) who specializes in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, adjustment/life transitions, relationship issues, and stress in adults. Kristen has 6 years of experience working with individuals from different ethnic and socioeconomic backgrounds. She completed her master’s degree in Counseling Psychology at Boston College. 

Kristen understands that everyone’s life experiences are unique, therefore she utilizes a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive approach to meet her clients where they are and to deeply understand her clients’ life experiences and backgrounds. Her therapeutic approach is integrative, incorporating psychodynamic therapy to explore clients’ past experiences and their influence on present behaviors, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to change maladaptive patterns of thinking that may impact everyday functioning. Kristen collaboratively works together with her clients to explore the root of their presenting concerns; to enhance their self-awareness and personal growth; and to develop skills and techniques to alleviate their symptoms.
