Deirys Gonzalez, LCSW

Are you ready to begin a journey toward healing, self-discovery, and empowerment? I'm here to help you experience yourself in new and liberating ways. Together, we'll work to break free from painful patterns, difficult relationships, anxiety, anger, and the weight of past trauma, and to reconnect with your own strength and sense of self.

I work with individuals across the lifespan, from children as young as five through adults, and I have a special passion for supporting women navigating life's many transitions, whether that's identity shifts, relationship challenges, self-worth, reproductive and maternal mental health, or simply the pressure of carrying too much for too long. I also bring a deep appreciation for Hispanic culture and am committed to providing care that honors your background and lived experience.

The concerns I most often help people with include anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship issues, family and parenting challenges, work stress and burnout, and those deeper existential questions about who you are and what you want your life to mean.

With over 8 years of experience, I've had the privilege of walking alongside many individuals as they begin their healing journeys. My style is warm, empowering, and yes, I bring humor into the room too. I believe deeply in meeting you exactly where you are, without judgment, and building from there. I offer individual sessions tailored entirely to you, drawing from a range of approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Play Therapy, and Trauma-Focused Therapy.

Taking that first step toward therapy takes courage, and I don't take it lightly that you're here. If something about my approach resonates with you, I'd love to connect and explore how we can work together. Let's find meaning in yourself, your relationships, your work, and your life as a whole.Sessions are also available in Spanish. Currently accepting clients in New York and New Jersey.
