Graciela Gonzalez
I am a qualified counselor with over two decades of experience working across not-for-profit organizations, the private sector, secondary education, community health services, and private practice in Australia. I have experience in exploring interpersonal challenges, self-esteem, trauma, anxiety, depression, and life stages to name a few. My approach includes existential, person-centered, collaborative, and trauma-informed when appropriate. I combine knowledge, skills, empathy, and curiosity when exploring life's challenges.
