Tina Gonzalez

Hello! My name is Tina and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of Flor Y Siendo Therapy and Wellness in Southern California. As a daughter of immigrants and a highly sensitive person who always felt like the odd one out and with my own history of trauma, it is important for me to create a space where people feel like they not only belong but that their story matters and where they can find their own healing within themselves. I support people who are ready to do the difficult work of addressing their experience of loss, life transitions, and trauma. I specialize in working with people that have experienced childhood trauma and abuse, survivors of sexual abuse, and people who have had difficult experiences that they can't seem to get over. Often my clients are individuals who find themselves caring for and attending to others’ needs and wellbeing rather than their own either due to their profession as leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, or helping professionals or even just due to life circumstances. I work with my clients to recognize the thoughts, feelings, and physical responses to trauma as a means of understanding themselves and their trauma and to regain control. I also like to explore the role of intergenerational trauma in my client's lives and help them connect with their inner child as a part of their healing journey. My hope is that through our work together you are able to connect with your inner healer and take that next step forward throughout your healing journey.
