Vanessa Gonzalez

Therapist

Progress Counseling Group

Vanessa Gonzalez works with adults from all walks of life who are feeling overwhelmed by life transitions, long-standing patterns, or heavy emotions. Her clients may be navigating relationship challenges or loss, graduating or questioning their next steps, or seeking a deeper understanding of who they are—past, present, and future. Many come to her feeling stuck in cycles of overthinking, constant worry, or self-doubt, and are ready to learn new ways of living with an anxious mind or emotional weight.

Vanessa supports individuals who want to move toward meaningful change and greater self-alignment. As a Latina therapist, she is especially committed to supporting communities of color as they navigate cultural identity, family roles, expectations, and intergenerational experiences in a safe and affirming space.

She is particularly passionate about Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for its clear, accessible framework and effective strategies that help clients reconnect with what matters most to them. As a lifelong learner and doctoral student, Vanessa integrates the latest research into her work to ensure clients receive evidence-based care.

Choosing to explore therapy is a powerful step toward prioritizing your well-being. Vanessa offers a free 15-minute phone consultation to answer questions and determine whether working together feels like a good fit. She looks forward to connecting and supporting you on your journey.
