Individual Therapy | Free Resources | Blogs

Some days, the weight of anxiety, self-doubt, and inherited wounds feels like too much to carry. If this is you, just know this: you're not alone.

It feels impossible to put yourself first or selfish when you try.

Maybe You’re Feeling….

  • Overwhelmed by the weight of expectations.

  • Intimidated by what comes next.

  • Unsure about who you are or where you belong.

  • Burnt Out with this constant cycle of uncertainty.

"High Performance, Hidden Struggle"

You've checked all the boxes—advanced degree, impressive title, healthy salary. Yet something's missing:

  • Decision fatigue from carrying everyone else's expectations

  • Feeling like an outsider even in rooms you've earned the right to be in

  • Relationships that feel surface-level despite your professional success

  • A nagging sense that you're living someone else's definition of success

  • Emotional numbness that helped you climb the ladder but now keeps you isolated

The Real Cost: You're successful on paper but disconnected from yourself and the people who matter most.

I Built My Own Path—Now I Help Others Build Theirs

Ileana Gonzalez, LPC First-generation therapist

I started my practice to create something that didn't exist—therapy that actually gets the intersection of high achievement and cultural identity.

Why This Matters:

  • I've been the "only one" in professional spaces and built a business from scratch

  • I understand familia expectations while honoring your individual journey

  • I specialize in high-performers who need more than surface-level solutions

The difference: You're not getting generic therapy. You're getting specialized support from someone who's navigated the same cultural and professional challenges you face.

My approach is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, rooted in attachment and relational healing. I create a warm, collaborative space—not clinical or detached—where you can feel truly seen.

I specialize in supporting people navigating generational trauma, anxiety, relationship wounds, and identity exploration. Here, you’ll find a safe, judgment-free environment that honors the impact of your cultural identity and lived experiences.

Therapy with me blends deep reflection and practical tools, helping you reconnect with parts of yourself that have been silenced or hurt. This isn’t about “fixing” you—it’s about healing your whole story, on your terms.

Lets connect.

I’m excited to connect with you! You can email or leave me a voicemail to set up a session or consultation.
