Leslie Gonzalez Owner/Founder MS, LPC, LCDC

I am a bilingual (Spanish and English) Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor in the state of Texas. I have had the opportunity to work with various populations throughout different stages of life (children, adolescents, adults).

As we begin this journey TOGETHER, I will provide a person-centered approach, to build rapport with you. I strongly believe that ALL of us can reach positive change through genuine, empathetic, non judgemental, and unconditional positive therapeutic alliance. 

I believe that we are all unique and therefore need a tailored approach. Together, we can overcome challenging paths by learning healthy, unique coping skills for you to continue using. 

Let me help guide you or a loved one throughout the various transitions and experiences we face in life, because YOU are NOT ALONE!

ITZEL VAZQUEZ, M.S., LPC-ASSOCIATE

Hello, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate.  I have 7 years of experience helping individuals navigate life’s challenges in different settings. I focus on supporting adolescents, adults, and couples as they work through issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, and life transitions. I use a variety of modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Person-Centered Therapy, tailoring my approach to best meet the unique needs of each client.


Outside of counseling, I enjoy spending time with my family and staying active , which helps me to stay grounded and reminds me of the importance of balance and self-care. My journey into counseling began with a deep desire to help others find healing and growth. Having witnessed the powerful impact therapy can have on people’s lives, I knew this was the path I was meant to take.


To all new clients, remember: the journey toward healing is not a straight line, but each step you take brings you closer to the person you’re meant to be. You are not alone in this process, and I am here to support you every step of the way.

 "I highly recommend Love and Guidance Counseling Center"                                           -Former Client

 "Before I started therapy, I felt trapped by my past. The memories of my trauma were like heavy shadows I couldn’t escape, and I didn’t know how to move forward. I struggled with depression, anxiety, and constant feelings of being overwhelmed.

When I first heard about EMDR, I was skeptical. The idea of following movements seemed strange, but I was willing to try anything. Ms. Leslie guided me gently through the process, helping me revisit painful moments in a way that felt safe and manageable. At first, it was challenging, but over time, something shifted.

I began to notice that the memories that once felt unbearable started losing their grip on me. They were still there, but they no longer controlled me. I could think about them without breaking down, and I started to feel a sense of peace I hadn’t felt in my entire life.

EMDR has been life-changing for me. It’s helped me reclaim parts of myself I thought I’d lost forever. I continue to heal and find my true self with the guidance of Ms. Leslie. If you’re considering therapy or feel unsure, I want to say that healing is possible. EMDR gave me the tools to face my past and move forward, and I’m so grateful for the freedom it’s given me." -Current client
