Meet Nancy
A thoughtful space to feel seen, understood, and supported.
I believe meaningful change begins when you feel safe enough to be honest— with yourself and with someone who is truly listening.
Hello, and welcome! I’m Nancy Gonzalez-McKenzie, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker offering online therapy throughout California. As a survivor of sexual trauma and the first person in my family to earn a college degree, I understand the courage it can take to change long-standing patterns and imagine a different future.
My style is warm, open-minded, and solution-oriented. I create a nurturing space while also being direct and helping you stay connected to the goals that brought you to therapy.
You do not have to settle for simply surviving.
You may be here because
Something in your life no longer feels sustainable.
You do not need to have the perfect words—or be at a breaking point— to begin exploring what needs to change.
02
Anxiety makes it difficult to feel settled.
Overthinking, fear, panic, or constant anticipation may be affecting your decisions, relationships, sleep, or ability to enjoy the present.
03
Painful experiences continue to shape your life.
Trauma can affect how safe you feel, how you see yourself, and the patterns you carry into your relationships.
04
You are ready to stop repeating the same patterns.
Part of you may know that more is possible, even if you are unsure how to build consistency, trust yourself, or take the next step.
You can begin with a simple conversation about what has been feeling difficult.
How therapy works
