Gonzales, Rufus

At Rufus Gonzales Psychotherapy, LLC, I believe in the power of therapy to help individuals reach their full potential and create positive change in their lives. With over a decade of experience, I offer individual psychotherapy and clinical supervision to adults in the Chicagoland area.

My Approach to Therapy

I employ an integrative therapeutic approach, combining evidence-based interventions with mindfulness and compassion. I believe in building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients, based on trust, respect, and collaboration. My aim is to create a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their concerns, develop new coping skills, and discover new ways of being.

Who I Work With

I work primarily with adults facing a variety of challenges, including:

• Depression and anxiety
• Social anxiety and phobias
• Relationship issues
• Career challenges
• Identity exploration
• Trauma and addiction
• Eating disorders
• Grief and loss

My Background and Expertise

My background is rich in both clinical and academic experience. I hold a doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Loyola University Chicago and have completed extensive training at renowned institutions like Cook County Hospital and the School of the Art Institute. I have also been a clinical supervisor and mentor to counseling students and professionals for over a decade.

Additional Services

In addition to individual psychotherapy, I offer:

• Clinical Supervision: Providing guidance and support to other mental health professionals.
• Young and Emerging Adult Group: A supportive and facilitated space for young adults to explore identity, relationships, and personal growth.
