About me

Hello there-- you made it! Thank you for taking the first step in contacting me!
I am a bilingual and bicultural Licensed Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked around the world- in Mexico, in the US, in Germany, in Japan, and in US, and worked in a wide variety of settings, including extensive work in community mental health, substance abuse/addictions, child welfare, and with military and veteran populations. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including couples/relationship issues, anxiety, depression, immigration-related issues, abuse and trauma, divorce and separation, and grief and loss, among other things. I have also worked extensively with the Marine Corps in the area of force preservation and suicide prevention, and have worked with other branches of the service as well, both in the US and OCONUS. My passion, however, is working with couples and with relationship issues. I truly believe we all deserve to have extraordinary relationships in our lives and also know just how difficult it can be to achieve those relationships sometimes.

Never fear, however, because you are not alone. I am here to stand for you and your relationship needs. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I honestly believe we can work together to find solutions for almost any problem and that we can emerge from challenges stronger, and even more resilient. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, mindfulness training, and other techniques. I also have incorporated many things I have learned in my travels and interactions with psychology in other cultures and countries into my extensive training. I will tailor our interactions and treatment to help you meet your goals and work collaboratively with you every step along the way.

It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happy relationship and sometimes we need a guide to help us create the relationship we want and deserve. I am here to walk with you on this path-- I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Dr. Christina Gonzalez. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.

So helpful

Written on Jun 29, 2019 after therapy with Christina for 5 months on issues concerning relationship

She is the most professional, kind-hearted person we’ve had as a counselor. We are grateful for her and if we come back to ReGain we would love to be match with her again. She is punctual and uses a different technique each time for me and my husband to connect or be on the same page. Thank you so much, Dr. Christina.
