In-Person Therapy in Scarsdale | Virtual Therapy in New York & Florida
Bilingual Therapy in English & Spanish
A calm, relational approach for people who feel emotionally overwhelmed, reactive, disconnected, or alone, especially when it’s impacting their closest relationships.
​Hi, I’m Sonia Gonzalez, M.S., LMHC.
I’m a trauma-informed anxiety therapist who works with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing emotional overwhelm, anxiety, relationship struggles, and trauma-related patterns that feel difficult to understand or change.
Many of the clients I support feel constantly on edge, emotionally reactive or angry, lonely even when surrounded by others, or burdened by a deep sense of self-doubt, feeling unimportant, unseen, or “not good enough.” Often, these experiences show up most clearly in close relationships with partners, family members, or friends.
Therapy with me offers a space to slow down, feel understood, and safely explore these patterns so you can feel more grounded, connected, and confident in yourself and your relationships.
Who I Support
Clients often come to therapy feeling:
​
-
Anxious, emotionally overwhelmed, or chronically stressed
-
Angry, irritable, or emotionally reactive without knowing why
-
Lonely, disconnected, or like no one truly understands them
-
Stuck in recurring relationship conflict with partners, family, or friends
-
Impacted by life transitions, family dynamics, or unmet emotional needs
-
Carrying self-doubt or a persistent sense of not being “enough”
I work with emotionally sensitive, thoughtful individuals who want more than surface-level coping strategies and are looking for therapy that is relational, trauma-informed, and deeply supportive.
My Therapeutic Approach
I believe healing happens within a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship. Therapy with me is collaborative, compassionate, and paced to your comfort level. I draw from evidence-based, trauma-informed practices to help you:
​
-
Build emotional awareness and regulation
-
Understand anxiety, anger, and emotional reactions
-
Improve communication and boundaries in relationships
-
Develop healthier coping strategies for daily life
-
Feel safer, more grounded, and more confident expressing your needs
My goal is not to “fix” you, but to help you reconnect with yourself and create meaningful, lasting change.
​What Clients Often Notice
Over time, many clients begin to experience:
​
-
Less emotional overwhelm and anxiety
-
Improved emotional regulation and resilience
-
Healthier communication and boundaries
-
Increased self-worth and self-compassion
Stronger, more secure relationships
Bilingual Therapy in English & Spanish
I offer therapy sessions in both English and Spanish. For clients who feel more comfortable expressing emotions, experiences, or cultural context in Spanish, bilingual therapy can provide a deeper sense of safety, understanding, and connection.

Whether you’re seeking support for anxiety, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, or trauma-related concerns, therapy can be a meaningful step toward feeling more balanced and supported.
​Trauma-Informed Therapy for Emotional & Relationship Struggles
Anxiety, anger, and emotional pain often have roots in past experiences, attachment patterns, and how the nervous system learned to cope with stress or disconnection. As a trauma-informed therapist, I focus on understanding these underlying patterns rather than simply labeling symptoms.
​
Together, we work to gently explore how emotions show up in your body, thoughts, and relationships, and how past experiences may be influencing present reactions. This approach supports deeper healing, emotional regulation, and more secure, connected relationships.
