Debbie Gonzalez is a licensed mental health therapist in Texas dedicated to supporting individuals and communities in their healing journeys. As a Latinx clinician, she brings both professional experience and lived understanding of how culture, race, identity and systemic issues impact mental health.
Debbie offers compassionate, affirming and culturally responsive space where you can feel seen heard and supported.
Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, intergenerational challenges, or just trying to make sense of life, she's here to walk alongside you - without judgment and deep respect for your story.
Healing is not one-size-fits-all. My approach integrates evidence based practices with a strong emphasis on cultural context, intersectionality and personal strengths.
I believe in the power of community, resilience and self-care, especially for those of us who have historically been underserved or overlooked in mental health spaces.
You deserve a space where all parts of you are welcome and I'm honored to create that space with you.
My specialties and how therapy can help you:

My clinical approach combines:
~ Psychotherapy
~ Strength-based
~ Solution-focused
~Client centered
~ Trauma focused
Beginning my professional career working at the rape crisis center and working with survivors of sexual violence, I knew that I wanted to become a therapist. I learned that traumatic events do not have to define your life and finding ways to heal and overcome them is possible. I have since worked with children, teens and adults who have experienced some type of trauma and use this experience to provide the best therapy possible.
My counseling style is warm, empathetic and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion during their counseling journey. My clinical approach combines strength-based, solution-focused and client centered therapy. We will work together to create a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

Taking the first step can be scary. In my experience, I have found it’s best to meet people where they’re at and what they’re comfortable with.
I will be there alongside you to face these difficulties and find the strength to improve your mental health.
