My name is Cassandra Gonzalez and I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York State. I have been in the field of social work for 8 years and licensed for 6 years. I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families in non-for-profit settings and a private practice. During these experiences, I provided group and individual psychotherapy services. I specialize in working with and not limited to, anxiety, trauma, adhd, self-esteem, life changes, and decision making. I enjoy working with adolescents, young adults, working professionals, and individuals who are seeking to address their inner childhood trauma. Through a variety of interventions and techniques, I assist my clients with addressing and working on their goals. I am extremely passionate about helping others and helping them be the better version of themselves. I love the work I do with my clients because I am able to assist with fulfillment in their lives and help them restore their daily functioning. Feeling disconnected, lonely, or anxious? Does the fear of being embarrassed, judged, or rejected make it hard to engage in ways that you really want to? Are you or your adolescent having difficulty with mood, confidence, and socialization? You might be trying to figure out how to face your feelings or changes that no one taught you how to cope. If you're tired of feeling held back by anxiety, confidence, or simply other limitations and you're ready to take a step toward change, then take the brave step to reach out and see how counseling can help you.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, I will conduct a biopsychosocial assessment (intake), approximately 60 minutes, to identify your presenting problem(s) and we will collaboratively develop a comprehensive treatment plan with identifiable goals/objectives. A treatment plan is necessary in order to give direction, articulation, and effective communication both to myself and my clients. Depending on the client's needs, I may also initiate a safety plan.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
During sessions, I help foster a safe environment for my clients to identify the root(s) of their problem(s), process their emotions, reflect on behaviors/responses, and develop a balance within their lives. As a provider, I want my clients to have the opportunity to heal and challenge maladaptive coping patterns through therapeutic interventions. I want my clients to have the capacity to make sense of their lives, create meaningful connections in their relationships and communities. I empower my clients to build resiliency, strengthen their self-esteem, make choices that will promote their healing and self-advocacy.
