Ann Gonzalez, LMSW

Hello, my name is Ann Gonzalez (she/her/hers), LMSW, and I am a graduate of University of Denver's Graduate School of Social Work. I completed their Master of Social Work program with a Mental Health and Trauma concentration. I am passionate about veteran’s issues, women’s issues, the LGBTQ+ community, and the Latinx community. I enjoy working with a variety of ages and backgrounds. I am very interested in a trauma-informed, client empowerment approach to therapy. I believe it is my job to listen and help create a space for clients to feel safe and supported. I believe that therapy should assist clients in improving their relationships with themselves and with others.I enlisted in the U.S. Air Force after graduating high school and have worked for the Armed Forces for close to 20 years. I decided to pursue my MSW after a volunteer opportunity to work with unaccompanied immigrant children in El Paso, Texas. This trip inspired me to pursue my lifelong dream of working in the mental health field. I speak Spanish fluently and was born in the U.S. to a South American immigrant parent and a U.S. Marine Corps veteran.

In my free time, I love hanging out with my wife and kids, mountain biking, rock climbing, gaming, and more. I am really excited to be a part of the wonderful Bodhi Counseling team!
