Paula Gonzalez, MCP, CCS, RP

Hello! I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with over 11 years of experience working in both community mental health and private practice across Toronto and the GTA. I have also worked as a Clinical Supervisor for over 6 years, and it’s a role that I hold so close to my heart. Throughout my career supporting other therapists, it’s been clear to me that, while therapists work tirelessly to support their clients, therapists do not always get the support they need to do their work in sustainable, aligned, and fulfilling ways. This is exactly what motivated me to become a Clinical Supervisor.

Some of my goals as a Supervisor is to do my part in helping therapists strengthen their therapist identity so that their work feels authentic and aligned with their values, to gain confidence in the skills that they already have (while also introducing some new ones!), and of course provide support with the nuances of their roles.

Our supervision sessions will be tailored to you based on the kind of support that you are looking for.

A bit more about my practice: I lean mainly on Internal Family Systems, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I will also sprinkle in interventions and understandings from other modalities such as DBT, Narrative, and ACT, among others. However, the foundational modalities that inform my approach and lens in which I conceptualize my clients and supervisees are Person-Centred Therapy and Trauma-informed practice.

Clients that I work with are adults, couples, and youth. Supervisees that I work with include practicum students, new graduates, and seasoned therapists.

If this sounds like a good fit, I would be happy to meet with you for a meet and greet before you commit! Here, you’ll be able to ask me any questions that you may have, tell me what you’re looking for, and I can tell you more about what you can expect when working with me. If you would like to book a meeting with me, feel free to email me at [email protected].
