Hola! I'm Yolanda González, a Holistic Latina, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and International Relationship Coach.
For years, I found myself joking about penning a book titled "What Not To Do". Through countless missteps and facing the consequences of my decisions, I often felt overwhelmed, but I always managed to rise again—until one day, I couldn't.
Feeling lost and uncertain, I resolved to do whatever was necessary to reclaim my well-being and quietly sought professional help. It wasn't long before I was diagnosed with depression.
Embracing the concept of therapy, I allowed myself to be vulnerable. After a few sessions, I found solace and began to breathe freely once more.
What I discovered:
The transformative journey I undertook with my therapist inspired me to become one myself!
Today, I have the privilege of combining my life experiences, education, and training to support you on your path to healing and growth.
With over two decades of experience, I've dedicated myself to enhancing the lives of individuals and families through various avenues, including community counseling initiatives, educational workshops, and volunteer work.
In 2016, I transitioned into clinical practice, providing invaluable in-home therapy to families in crisis.
During this time, I assisted clients in navigating an array of challenges, spanning from life transitions to PTSD, depression, anxiety, domestic abuse, family conflicts, and relationship issues.
In 2019, sensing a need for a more holistic approach beyond traditional cognitive therapy, I delved into the realms of energy psychology and spirituality. Achieving certifications in Hypnosis, EFT, Matrix, and Reiki empowered me to offer clients a comprehensive healing experience, addressing their mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
The culmination of my journey led to the establishment of the Holistic Counseling Center in 2020, where I focus on supporting adults along their healing paths.
Throughout my private practice, a common theme emerged: clients, despite their remarkable success in their careers, grappled with symptoms of anxiety and depression stemming from relationship challenges.
Today, my specialization lies in guiding individuals towards improving relationships by identifying patterns, exploring their origins, releasing detrimental influences, and effecting lasting transformations.
Credentials:
"Yolanda has consistently created a space that has allowed me the comfort of being vulnerable, to share, and to be open to exploring my thoughts, emotions, and experiences. She has challenged me to think more critically and dig deeper to address what comes up in sessions at a pace that I appreciate. Therapy isn't linear. No matter what the focus of each session is, she has provided support, techniques to practice in and out of sessions, and remains accessible should I ever need additional support between sessions. I've been in and out of therapy over the years and know it can be incredibly difficult to identify a therapist who is able to address your needs and that you truly connect with - also to find someone who understands societal, environmental, and cultural factors. I am so appreciative to have found these with her." -

"Yolanda has been a fantastic therapist and blessing on my life journey. Through my time as her client, I give a lot of credit to Yolanda's aid through a difficult yet transitive time in my life. My life truly transformed over the last year and a half, and I credit the consistent work I have done through Yolanda's guidance, which includes EFT tapping and other methods of healing. I have been able to unpack and work through difficult traumas that I once believed to be a permanent burden on my life and have been able to find a new freedom. Yolanda maintains the highest regard of professionalism without sacrificing care, a quintessential skill for an excellent therapist. She is truly invaluable."

"Yolanda is truly a gem. I googled her to find a therapist for a friend and she has been such an effective, talented and caring therapist to my friend as well as to me. She works with different modalities to utilize the tools that each client best responds to. She is bilingual Spanish/English and in tune with clients culturally as well. I felt at ease with her nurturing, humorous yet focused, authentic self. I cannot recommend Yolanda enough!"

"As a front line health care worker who was really struggling after working in a hot spot during the peak of the pandemic in my area, I knew I needed help. A good friend recommended better help. As a night shift worker whose schedule varies from week to week, the texting format Is a huge asset. I was skeptical of ‘being assigned’ a therapist, but Better help’s algorithm paired me with a perfect fit. Yolanda Gonzalez is wonderful! I wouldn’t be on track like I am without her guidance. She is professional, she is kind, she is patient and challenges me to break down my barriers and be more present. I highly highly recommend her."
