Patricia D. Gonzalez, MS, LPC

Licensed Professional Counselor

Patricia D. Gonzalez, MS, LPC, is a Licensed Professional Counselor known for her deep compassion, genuine empathy, and calm, grounding presence. She is dedicated to walking alongside clients as they navigate grief, trauma, and life’s complex transitions, offering a safe and supportive space where healing can unfold at each person’s own pace.

With specialized experience in grief counseling and trauma-informed care, Patricia helps clients process loss, anxiety, and self-defeating patterns while fostering mindful self-discovery and emotional growth. Her approach blends evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Coherence Therapy, and Compassion-Focused techniques with a person-centered philosophy rooted in respect and understanding.

Patricia believes that healing is not a linear or perfect process—it’s a courageous act of continuing forward, even when it’s difficult. As she often reminds clients, quoting Maxwell Diawuoh: “This is your healing. It doesn’t have to be pretty or graceful. You just have to keep going.”

Her warmth and empathy allow clients to feel truly seen and supported as they navigate challenges such as grief, trauma, life transitions, and relationship issues. Patricia also has extensive experience working with veterans, first responders, and individuals coping with infertility, loss, and major life changes, helping them rebuild a sense of safety, meaning, and connection.

Patricia earned her Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University and is a Certified Grief Counselor through the American Institute of Health Care Professionals (AIHCP). In practice since 2019, she brings both clinical expertise and heartfelt care to her work with teens, adults, and older adults.

Her greatest goal is to empower clients to move through pain with self-compassion, rediscover resilience, and create space for peace, purpose, and renewed hope.
