Welcome back to The Matt Kollock Show!
Episode 29 features my conversation with Celina Gonzalez, LMFT.
Celina is a licensed therapist and a gifted communicator. I was so happy to be able to talk to her on the podcast about all the things. As I say in the show, I'm getting a little sick of hearing myself discuss topics like childhood trauma, CPTSD, cycle breaking and family estrangement. Am I just full of shit???? So thankfully, Celina was able to offer a grounded perspective rooted in her training and experience as a therapist, yes, but also drawing from her own life experience and the cycle breaking that has occurred in her family lineage.
You're going to really appreciate what Celina had to say, especially if you are a person, like me, who is highly sensitive and has experienced childhood trauma.
Guest BioMy guest today is Celina Gonzalez, a bilingual and bicultural licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 15 years in practice.
She is the co-founder of DBT in Color, a San Francisco-based therapy collective dedicated to equipping individuals with skills for alleviating emotional pain, with a focus on identity and culture. Her therapeutic approach is informed by Attachment Theories, highlighting the profound influence of early relationships and life experiences on our emotional development, relationships, and self-beliefs, and grounded in Dialectical Behavior Therapy- a mindfulness based behavioral therapy which offers practical skills to navigate overwhelming emotions and strengthen connection to inner wisdom.
As a woman of color and daughter of immigrants, Celina brings a unique and deeply personal perspective to her practice, inviting reflection on the impact of historical context, culture, language, and immigration on identity and emotional well-being. She specializes in helping clients, including those with CPTSD, balance acceptance of their pasts in pursuit of healing and change.
