The Healing Spark
Meet Andrea Gonzalez
Welcome—I’m Andrea Gonzalez, a trauma-informed therapist and the founder of The Healing Spark.
I created this space from both professional experience and personal understanding of what it means to feel disconnected from yourself, overwhelmed by emotions, or unsure of your worth. The Healing Spark is more than a therapy practice—it’s a place where healing feels human, softness is strength, and your story is honored without judgment.
In my work, I help clients explore the impact of early experiences, heal attachment wounds, and build tools for nervous system regulation. My approach is compassionate, research-informed, and deeply attuned to the emotional layers that shape who we are.
In addition to therapy services, I also provide comprehensive, trauma-informed immigration evaluations for hardship waivers, VAWA, asylum, U-visas, T-visas, and cancellation of removal cases.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety, past trauma, relationship struggles, or longing for deeper self-trust, you’re welcome here. Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you—it’s about creating space for you to gently unfold, reconnect with yourself, and feel supported every step of the way.
Why Therapy?
It can help with
Depression
Depression can make even the smallest tasks feel heavy. Therapy creates a space to feel seen, supported, and start reconnecting with yourself—one step at a time.
Anxiety
Anxiety can feel like your mind is always racing and your body never rests. Therapy helps you slow down, find your breath, and feel more grounded in the present.
Trauma
Trauma lives in the body long after the moment has passed. In therapy, you don’t have to relive it to heal—you just need a safe space to start releasing what’s too much to carry alone.
Inner Child Healing
The parts of you that still feel unseen, scared, or not enough often started young. Inner child work helps you meet those parts with compassion instead of criticism.
Attachment Issues
If relationships feel confusing, overwhelming, or unsafe, you’re not broken. Therapy helps you understand where those patterns come from and how to create more secure connections.
Self-Esteem
You don’t have to prove your worth to deserve kindness. Therapy helps you shift the way you talk to yourself—toward something softer, more honest, and self-affirming.

Andrea is incredible to work with. I have tried therapy before and was not completely comfortable opening up. She creates a safe and inviting environment to share then provides wonderful feedback and coping skills. I would absolutely recommend her.
