Pamela Gonzalez, LCSW

Hola! I am a Latina, bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a certified Grief Educator, based out of the San Francisco Bay Area. I specialize in working with youth and adults who have been impacted by grief/loss, trauma, child abuse, the foster care system and domestic violence. I have over 10 years of experience as a clinical social worker.

My experience includes: providing therapy for youth incarcerated within juvenile detention facilities, for survivors of domestic violence, for adults and youth impacted by grief/loss and the trauma associated with it, and facilitating Child and Family meetings for families involved within the child welfare system, in support of helping youth and families in increasing safety and overall well-being. I have also facilitated anger management groups for women and domestic violence support groups.

I have a tremendous passion for serving all backgrounds, especially communities of color, who have been impacted by mental health and grief.  I use a holistic, individualized and mind/body/spirit approach to grief, while connecting with others. I am committed to offering a safe, non-judgemental space full of empathy as the complexities of grief is ready to be explored, all while working with others at their own pace.

I have availability to participate in panel discussions, lectures, workshops, to support my community in learning about grief and related topics. Can support in español as well.
