Rosa Guillen Gonzalez

If you've been hurt in relationships where you once sought safety and connection, it makes sense that you learned to protect yourself. Many of the people I work with have spent years in survival mode, guarded, overwhelmed, or numb, and quietly wondering what's wrong with them. Nothing is wrong with you. Those responses were how you got through, and they can soften when you finally feel safe. I'm a licensed therapist with over ten years in mental health and a private practice focused on relational and attachment trauma. I'm certified in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and I'm trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). I'm also completing extensive training in AEDP, an approach centered on the healing power of the therapeutic relationship. I work with both the mind and the body, blending approaches to fit you rather than fitting you into one method. Earlier in my career I spent many years working in perinatal mental health, and I'm glad to support parents and those navigating the transition into parenthood. I offer sessions in English and Spanish. Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and paced to you, with as much focus on your strengths as your pain. My hope is to help you connect to who you are underneath survival mode, including the parts that were there all along, and to build a kinder relationship with yourself and safer connections with others. If you're ready, reach out for a free consultation. I'd be glad to hear from you.
