I have had the pleasure of working with Doctoral Candidate Melanie Gonzalez for the past few years now. She is hard working, passionate, and insightful! My favorite part of knowing her is how she is willing to go above and beyond to support those around her.

I've been seeing Melanie for a bit now, and I can say that I feel totally comfortable talking to her. Being a POC, I've had issues finding therapists in Irvine who relate to my experiences, and it was hard to talk openly to those therapists. Even though Melanie and I aren't of the same ethnicity, I feel like she understands me, and she strikes a good mix of being easy to talk to and being professional.
