Mondie Gonzales

Mondie Gonzales is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 15 years of direct therapy experience to her work with individuals, couples and families in Ohio.

She completed a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 1992 and earned a Master of Social Work in 1999. Much of her career has involved working with children and families in community mental health settings, and she opened a private practice a decade ago to focus on individualized care.

Mondie uses a range of therapeutic approaches and tailors techniques to each person’s needs and goals. She emphasizes the importance of the therapeutic relationship and approaches clients with the belief that they are the experts in their own lives while she supports implementation of the changes they seek.

Her practice centers on helping people and families develop or strengthen life skills so they can make intentional choices. She guides clients to clarify what they want, name it and define what it looks like so they can take steps toward those goals. She views life as an interconnected story shaped by the choices people make, and she encourages informed decision-making, appropriate boundaries and accepting responsibility as part of that process.

Mondie holds clinical social work licenses in both Ohio and Oregon; her Ohio credential includes independent clinical and supervisory authorization. She practices from Ohio and works with clients across a range of concerns including trauma and abuse, grief, parenting issues, anger management, ADHD, stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship and family conflicts, intimacy and self-esteem challenges, career difficulties, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue.
