Meet Our Therapists

At Susan Gonzales & Associates Counseling, we’re proud to have a team of dedicated therapists based in Austin, who are passionate about helping individuals, couples, and families thrive. Each member of our team brings their unique expertise, warmth, and authenticity to the table, creating a safe and supportive environment for healing and growth.

How we Help

Qualified Care

Our therapists are highly trained in evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), trauma-informed care, the Gottman Method, and more.

Personalized Approach

One of the gifts of private practice is that our therapists carry smaller caseloads—so they have the time and space to really get to know you. That means more personalized care, deeper connection, and a therapeutic relationship that’s truly collaborative.

Welcoming Environment

Therapy should feel safe and comfortable. Our therapists create a space where you can show up as you are, with no judgment.
