About

From the battlefield to the therapy room, Carlos Gonzalez, APCC, brings a unique and specialized approach to helping military personnel, veterans, and their families navigate the complex landscape of mental health. With a deep understanding of the challenges faced by those who have served, Carlos has dedicated his practice to addressing trauma, anxiety, depression, and a wide range of mental and behavioral health concerns that often accompany military life and the transition to civilian living.

Carlos draws from a diverse toolkit of therapeutic modalities, expertly blending techniques to create a tailored approach for each client. His repertoire includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps individuals embrace their thoughts and feelings rather than fighting or feeling guilty for them. He also utilizes Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients understand and heal different parts of themselves, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to strengthen relationships and emotional bonds, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to develop mindfulness and emotional regulation skills.

A standout feature of Carlos's practice is his training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. This powerful method for processing and healing traumatic memories is particularly beneficial for clients struggling with PTSD, flashbacks, nightmares, and other trauma-related challenges. Carlos's expertise in EMDR offers a specialized treatment option that can be transformative for those seeking to overcome past wounds and build resilience.

Understanding that faith can play a crucial role in the healing process for many, Carlos is also equipped to provide Christian counseling. This allows him to support clients who wish to integrate their faith beliefs into their therapeutic journey, offering a holistic approach that addresses both mental health and spiritual well-being.

Carlos Gonzalez's practice is deeply committed to helping clients heal, cultivate resilience, and work towards a future filled with hope, strength, and happiness. Whether you're a veteran transitioning to civilian life, a military family facing unique challenges, or an individual striving to overcome trauma and live a better life, Carlos offers the expertise, understanding, and specialized care needed to guide you on your path to healing and personal growth.
