WELCOME TO ADG MARRIAGE & FAMILY THERAPY
Are you feeling like you are missing something in life? Are you unhappy with yourself or your partner? Do you feel like you are always stressed out and nothing makes you happy? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, then you have come to the right place.
Hi, my name is Dr. Acralys Diaz-Gonzalez and I am a licensed mental health counselor. Welcome to my site! You probably have some important questions about therapy, like: Who needs therapy? Does therapy help? How long does therapy take? Let me share some important information with you about therapy.
There are a number of reasons why people decide to start therapy. Some people have experienced trauma, divorce/separation, difficulties in relationships, or stressful experiences from childhood. Others seek therapy to alleviate depression, anxiety, feelings of hopelessness, or to explore why things don't feel quite right for them. Therapy helps people achieve personal goals, identify patterns in the way they behave, and gain insight about their thoughts and feelings. Therapy can help people identify stumbling blocks to happiness and teach them how to make lasting changes.
The length of therapy required depends on the issues being addressed and the motivation and effort of the individual to feel better. Other factors play a role - support from friends and family, stress, and amount of insight. In addition, therapy requires time, active participation, and consistency.
COUNSELING SERVICES
Counseling for individuals, couples and families yearning to cope, understand, and overcome. Dr. Acralys Diaz-Gonzalez opened ADG Marriage & Family Therapy to provide people a comfortable space where self-reflection and growth could take place. A licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), Dr. Acralys has been a practicing psychotherapist for ten years. Helping clients cope, find breakthroughs, and achieve personal growth is her passion. Promising personalized care, Dr. Acralys prioritizes client goals throughout therapy.
THERAPY IS ABOUT HELPING
In therapy, we talk about what’s going on. Not only has research shown that putting your worries into words has a significant therapeutic effect on the brain, you know it to be true. People are social creatures. We all talk about our troubles with our friends and family to blow off steam. But, in many cases, our friends and family are ill-equipped to help us cope. Whether you are experiencing difficulties in your relationship or personal struggles, ADG Marriage & Family Therapy is here to extend a hand. Here, you will always find an attentive ear and an open heart. Dr. Acralys believes therapy is about helping clients acknowledge habits that are disempowering, keeping them stuck and perpetuating unhappiness. That is why she works closely with them to help them expand their vision, set goals that will get them living full lives, and teach them to redefine how they see the problem.
