I have been seeing Jose Gonzalez for counseling services at KPMH for 6 months. In my first few sessions he identified a bigger underlying trauma that I was completely unaware of due to repressing the memories. He suggested EMDR therapy for me and through those sessions I have healed from that trauma and in extension other traumas and PTSD I have experienced throughout the course of my life. Jose’s approach, kindness, and professionalism provided a safe, comfortable space for me to fully be present during my sessions and focus on the work I needed to do to heal.

Mary and her staff are amazing! I am currently seeing one of her therapists, Nicole. He had seen other therapists before her but none were able to get him to open up the way she did. She met him where he was at and went from there. He talks about Nicole sometimes and I do see a change in his behavior. Grant it, it takes all individuals involved to want to see change but she puts her ALL into it. I hope that Mary continues to higher such a qualified staff!

KPMH helped me when I was at a low point of my life. I received life changing counseling from experienced and highly trained professionals. My experience with KPMH is overall positive. My counselors made me feel safe and created environment for me to share my story. KPMH offer a variety of therapeutic techniques and systems that can help you with whatever mental ailment you have. Cognitive behavior therapy and Brain Spotting helped me address my trauma. It is good to know that we have a place like KPMH in our community. I am grateful for my time there and will recommend KPMH to those who need it

I have had the opportunity to work with Mr. Gonzalez serving mutual clients. His dedication to the many populations that he serves is apparent in his treatment approaches. Mr. Gonzalez is able to help clients achieve improvement and greater outcomes by challenging throughout their treatment. I highly recommend anyone considering treatment with Mr. Gonzalez to meet with him and work to establish a treatment plan. Improvement in overall functioning and coping with life's added stressors will undoubtedly improve.

I’ve known Mary for 9 years and worked along side her in a professional capacity for several of them. Her ability to to connect with families on an emotional level While maintaining professional boundaries is extraordinary!
You can truly feel her heart centered approach to clinical care. My wife and I were recently blessed with a little baby girl and if we ever need any support for her or our family Mary will be the first one we turn to for help.
