Ally Gonzalez

Heyo! I’m Ally (they/them) — a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, a neurodivergent human, and an avid Disney fan. And I am so glad that you landed here!

If your brain feels like it’s running 87 tabs at once — several tabs screaming “anxiety!“, another tab stuck replaying the past over and over, and a handful of tabs buffering sad vibes — you are not alone and I am the therapist for you!

Working with me focuses on a combination of learning practical tools you can actually use to help feel better, in addition to doing a deep dive into why humans are the way we are … and I toss in the occasional movie reference because healing shouldn’t feel like a lecture.

I work with teens, caregivers, and young adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, gender identity exploration, and folx who struggle with suicidal thoughts and self-harming behaviors.

It’s okay to talk about the “tough stuff” in my office. I am here for it and for you.

I earned my Master’s from the University of South Florida and am trained in Brainspotting (Level 1), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

I use a trauma-informed, person-centered, and psychodynamic approach. This means we create a safe and supportive environment, explore how past experiences and relational patterns influence your current thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and collaboratively develop practical strategies to support growth and healing.

My goal is to provide a supportive, inclusive space where you can be your full, authentic self.

I see you, I’m proud of you for taking this next step, and welcome to Flourish — you are in good company!
