Owner
My passion is focused on working with couples and treating individuals with OCD, anxiety, body-focused repetitive behaviors, social anxiety, and panic disorder. I have advanced training in ERP for OCD as well as couples work. I'm one of only a few therapists trained in I-CBT for OCD. Becoming a therapist was a mid-life career change for me, motivated by the removal of pain that a kind and compassionate therapist can provide when the fit is right. I only wish I had gone to therapy sooner. Prior to becoming a therapist, I worked in the environmetal field, authored many science books, and served in the US Peace Corps in Jamaica. I have worked as a counselor at the VA working with veterans with PTSD, depression and OCD and at Turning Point for Families and Youth, both in Fort Collins. ​

Hello, I'm Devon Gonzales, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of your healing journey. I am currently a Master’s student in Counselor Education, working as an intern at May Counseling, where I am under the supervision of Suellen May, BS, MA, LPC. I graduated in 2024 with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, where I focused much of my research on Positive Psychology and the concepts of Meaning and Purpose. These areas of study resonate deeply with my personal life philosophy and inform how I approach both my personal and professional work as a counselor.
Positive Psychology is the theory that guides much of my work. It emphasizes the strengths, virtues, and positive aspects of human life, focusing on flourishing, resilience, and the cultivation of well-being. This aligns perfectly with my core values of growth, hope, and self-empowerment, which I believe are essential to healing and transformation. I am passionate about helping individuals not only cope with life’s challenges but also thrive through them.
My approach to counseling is rooted in Person-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a safe, empathetic space where clients feel heard and understood. I believe that every person has the potential to grow, change, and achieve a meaningful life. By using tools from Positive Psychology, such as mindfulness, gratitude, and hope, I help clients reconnect with their inner strengths and build a positive outlook that empowers them to navigate life's challenges. I also emphasize self-awareness and encourage clients to see themselves through a strengths-based lens, rather than focusing on problems or weaknesses.
I recognize that challenges often arise when internal struggles, such as negative thoughts or low self-esteem, get in the way of coping with life’s difficulties. External factors, such as past trauma or societal pressures, can also contribute. In counseling, I work with clients to reconnect with their strengths, develop healthier coping strategies, and explore new perspectives on their struggles.
A key part of my practice is valuing multiculturalism and diversity. I believe every individual is shaped by their unique cultural experiences and identities, and I approach each client with cultural humility. I strive to create an inclusive and respectful space where all clients feel understood and supported.
I would be honored to work with you!
