Mario Gonzalez, AASW

Mario Gonzalez is an AASW accredited social worker with 22 years of professional experience. He works with people facing relationship strain, trauma and abuse, grief, depression and coping with life changes. He speaks English and Spanish and can use both languages in sessions.

Mario focuses on practical conversations and steady support. He helps people talk through relationship problems, loss and difficult life shifts. He also addresses attachment and abandonment concerns, communication problems, and issues such as codependency and control.

Sessions involve straightforward discussion of the problems you bring. Mario helps clients identify patterns that keep them stuck and practises new ways of relating or coping. For grief and depression he works on small, manageable steps to restore daily routine and connection.

His background includes long experience across community and clinical settings, giving him a broad view of common problems people face. That experience informs simple strategies for handling chronic pain, caregiver stress and blended family tensions.

Mario says he adapts dialogue and plans to fit individual needs, and will work in whichever language the client prefers. He asks practical questions early on so sessions focus on what matters most to each person.

Many people find talking about relationship wounds and loss helps reduce the pressure of making decisions alone. Mario aims to make conversations direct and clear, so clients can try small changes between sessions and see what works. This hands-on approach supports coping with separation, forgiveness and rebuilding routines after loss.
