Healing starts with being understood. I’m Yuliana Gonzalez, a Licensed Mental Health Clinician specializing in trauma, proudly providing care in both English and Spanish.

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Washington State and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Idaho. I have a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology. I am currently working on a doctorate in psychology with a clinical emphasis. I am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Provider and see people for anxiety and panic disorders and OCD. I also see people for many other types of mental health concerns including ADHD, family concerns, chronic illness, trauma, and grief and loss. My focus is client-centered, which means I focus on you and your unique needs. I look forward to meeting you and am happy to join you in your journey!

Anxiety, depression, ADHD and complex trauma are all too familiar to me- I feel so much joy when I am given the privilege to help others with their own, no matter where they are at in their process.

As a person who was late-in-life diagnosed A(u)DHD, I learned a lot of "bootcamp" social skills and navigation tools over the years to survive a harsh world not designed for people like me. I really excel in providing a validating space to join me, side by side, as we all learn how to ride this wild life.

My style of therapy works best with those who are seeking healing that goes beyond just the symptoms. I want my clients to move toward a fuller life, that does not stop at just managing symptoms and moving on. Therapy can be scary and sometimes difficult, but there is hope! Therapy can also bring fullness and connection into your life. The therapeutic relationship is essential, and it is of primary concern in my work. I dedicate myself to assuring my clients feel safe to do the hard work to heal. If you are unhappy and seeking more from life, I believe I can help.

I specialize in religious trauma and grief, but can also work with a myriad of issues. I offer a safe place to bring your story and the interpersonal and professional skill to help you move through your pain. I focus much of my therapy on meaning-creation, values, and body-centered interventions.

I have spent much of my own time and finances to my own therapeutic work and believe strongly in the process. Our relationship is central and I understand how difficult it can be to open up to pain in the presence of another. You will find me to be empathetic, understanding, and open. Contact me and start your journey of healing and hope.
