Meet the Team
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!

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.

" Love and Guidance Counseling Center has allowed me to have a safe and private space to openly express my concerns and emotions. What started as a place to process my recent and sudden divorce, I have continued to be a patient to dive further into my mental needs. Thank you Ms. Gonzalez for your guidance and allowing me to a safe space to vent my thoughts and emotions." -Former Client
" I am deeply grateful for the professional services provided by Love and Guidance Counseling Center. The grieving process can be difficult to navigate especially if you have experienced prior traumatic experiences. I would ask that people Love themselves enough to seek help by professionals, forget about the stigma attached or perceived by the public. Love and Guidance can help sort those emotions, bring to the surface hidden emotions offer professional counseling and techniques to help you face and process the grief. In some cases i believe they literally are a lifeline and do save lives." -Former Client
"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
