Scarlet Gonzalez

Scarlet Gonzalez

Seattle, WA
Marriage & Family Therapist, MA
Scarlet Gonzalez, a dedicated marriage and family therapist (MA, LMFTA, MHP), understands how it feels to be stuck in a loop, as if one is merely an observer in their own life, unsure of how to break free and improve it. Many individuals experience feelings of isolation, believing that no one else can fathom their pain or truly understand their journey. This anguish can often lead to shame, guilt, and a sense of powerlessness, causing people to withdraw from supportive relationships and joyful activities. As a solution-focused therapist, Scarlet centers her practice around identifying the root of the issue and effectively addressing it. She listens intently to her clients' experiences, offers valuable insights, and coaches them to consciously engage with their thoughts and feelings. Scarlet works with families, couples, and individuals aged 6 and up, bringing years of experience in guiding clients through challenges such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, and relational issues. Utilizing a variety of therapeutic approaches—including cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy techniques, family therapies, mindfulness, and expressive arts—she provides comprehensive support throughout the healing journey. Acknowledging that everyone faces difficult days and obstacles, Scarlet emphasizes that seeking help is a sign of strength, and it's perfectly acceptable to not be okay. With genuine compassion, she is eager to walk alongside clients on their path to healing.
