Hey it's me, Marisa Gonzalez
I'M A LICENSED ASSOCIATE MARRIAGE AND FAMILY THERAPIST (LAMFT)
I’m Marisa Gonzalez, a Licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (LAMFT) committed to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges. At Juniper Therapy, I offer a compassionate, humor-based approach that makes therapy both effective and engaging.
Specializing in the Gottman Method, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and intercultural/interracial couples therapy, I provide personalized care to improve communication, rebuild trust, and foster deeper emotional connections. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard and understood.
Therapy can be daunting, but I believe it should be a collaborative and approachable experience. By blending warmth, empathy, and a touch of humor, I strive to make each session a positive journey. Together, we’ll work towards overcoming obstacles and achieving lasting, meaningful change in your relationships and personal well-being.
