Bennie Gonzales AMFT

Clinician

Bennie is a therapist who walks with couples, individuals, and families through the deepest kinds of relational and spiritual pain. His passion is helping people find their way back to each other—and to themselves—after betrayal, addiction, emotional disconnection, or years of emotional estrangement.

Bennie specializes in working with faith-based couples, especially those navigating infidelity, porn addiction, substance use, or the erosion of intimacy over time. He knows how disorienting it can be when trust breaks down, and he creates a space where both the wounded and the one who did the wounding can begin the work of repair.

Bennie also works with individuals and families dealing with addiction (process and substance), anxiety, men’s issues, and religious trauma. Many of the individuals and families he helps are those of faith who’ve been hurt by the very communities they once trusted—but who still long for a spiritual life that feels honest, safe, and life-giving.

This work matters deeply to Bennie. He doesn’t take it lightly when someone invites him into their story. If you’re ready to move towards healing, he’d be honored to walk with you. 

A note on inclusivity: Bennie is an LGBTQ+ affirming therapist and welcomes clients of all sexual orientations and gender identities into a safe, non-judgmental space.
