Mondie Gonzales, LCSW, LISW

Mondie Gonzales brings a long history of work with children, families, individuals and couples, shaped by formal training and years of community mental health experience. She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology in 1992 and a Master of Social Work in 1999, and later established a private practice a decade ago to focus on individualized care. She is credentialed as an LCSW and LISW - licenses that indicate advanced clinical social work qualifications and training.

Across much of her career she worked in community mental health settings serving kids and families, and that experience continues to inform her approach in private practice. She adapts modalities and techniques to match each person’s goals and needs, choosing interventions based on what will best support progress rather than following a single method.

Mondie emphasizes the quality of the therapeutic relationship as central to change. She operates from the belief that people are experts in their own lives and that her role is to support implementation of the changes they want to make. Her work centers on helping individuals and families build or refine life skills, clarify goals, and define what success looks like so clients can make intentional choices that move them toward those goals.

She views life’s experiences as interconnected threads that form each person’s story and encourages informed decision-making, appropriate boundary-setting, and acceptance of responsibility as tools for forward movement. Her practice is oriented toward practical skill-building and collaborative problem solving to help people live in ways that align with their priorities.
