Diana Gonzalez, Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist

(She/ her/ hers Pronouns)

You are driven, passionate and goal oriented. You are a natural caregiver and care deeply for those around you. You have faced many challenges and overcome many obstacles. You are gentle and loving and feel your emotions deeply. You care about your family and your friendships. You take pride in a job well done and excel in everything you do. However, now you may be in the midst of a life transition, a new job, a new baby, or a big move. Perhaps you are faced with a life change that is making you feel lost. Your thoughts are tangled up. Perhaps you constantly feel you are not doing enough — no matter how hard you try.

I have been where you are, and this is where I come in! If you allow me to, we can work together to make a plan to untangle your feelings, set healthy boundaries so your relationships can flourish, and find a way to make a life you are excited about. For the last year and a half, I have been working in Private practice guiding clients to live a life worth living.

I am originally from Colombia. I have been in Canada for 18-ish years. I love helping people reach their goals. I often say that I am the GPS — but you are the driver. I am there to guide you to the route with less traffic, but ultimately, you are in control of the destination and the route you choose to take.

I’m passionate about working with adults that might be struggling and looking for support in the following areas:

• Stress & anxiety
• Depression
• Low self-esteem & confidence
• Interpersonal relationships
• Relationship issues
• Burn-out
• Boundaries
• Emotional regulation
• Parenting
• Self-care
• Pregnancy, Prenatal, Postpartum
• Feeling stuck
• Life transitions
• Inter-generational trauma
• Insomnia or sleep disorder

In my practice, I use elements of:

• Mindfulness
• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
• Narrative Therapy
• Motivational Interviewing
• Strengths Based Approach
• Trauma-Informed
• Anti-Oppressive Approaches

I’m currently working with clients over the phone or via secure video conferencing.  I work with clients in English and Spanish.
