Krystelina Gonzalez

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Apple Valley, CA


I'm Krystelina — a bilingual (English and Spanish) Latina therapist with 14 years of clinical experience and a doctorate in psychology. I work with individuals, teens, couples, and families across the Inland Empire, High Desert, and throughout California via telehealth. My clients tend to be people carrying more than they let on: adults managing anxiety or depression who've never had a space that felt truly their own, couples trying to rebuild trust and communication, families navigating cultural expectations and generational stress. If therapy has ever felt inaccessible, too clinical, or like it wasn't built for someone like you — I want to change that.
