Hello, my name is Ann Gonzalez (she/her/hers), LMSW, and I am a graduate of University of Denver’s Graduate School of Social Work. I completed their Master of Social Work program with a Mental Health and Trauma concentration.
I am passionate about veteran’s issues, women’s issues, the LGBTQ+ community, and the Latinx community. I enjoy working with a variety of ages and backgrounds. I am very interested in a trauma-informed, client empowerment approach to therapy. I believe it is my job to listen and help create a space for clients to feel safe and supported. I believe that therapy should assist clients in improving their relationships with themselves and with others.
I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force after graduating high school and have worked for the Armed Forces for close to 20 years. I decided to pursue my MSW after a volunteer opportunity to work with unaccompanied immigrant children in El Paso, Texas. This trip inspired me to pursue my lifelong dream of working in the mental health field. I speak Spanish fluently and was born in the U.S. to a South American immigrant parent and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran.
In my free time, I love hanging out with my wife and kids, mountain biking, rock climbing, gaming, and more. I am really excited to be a part of the wonderful Bodhi Counseling team!
