Meet Mari

Welcome! I’m Mari Gonzales, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in the greater Sacramento area. I specialize in helping adults navigate the challenges of life with compassion and understanding. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, life transitions, or seeking a more fulfilling life, I am here to support you.

My Focus

I specialize in working with adults and older adults, providing support tailored to their unique life stages and struggles. I am passionate about supporting clients experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, caregiver stress, LGBTQIA+ issues, and religious trauma. I find fulfillment in helping individuals explore and understand their emotions, identities, and life paths. My approach is centered on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can openly express themselves and work towards meaningful change and healing.

Professional Background

My professional journey is driven by a passion for helping others and a commitment to ongoing learning and growth. I hold a Master’s Degree in Counseling from California State University, Sacramento.
