Marina Gonzalez-Ang

Drawing upon tools such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) method, traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), yoga, and play/art therapy, among others, Gonzalez-Ang works with clients to develop an individually-tailored approach toward healthier, joyful lives. Serving clients in Massachusetts and New Hampshire, Gonzalez-Ang began her private practice in 2023. Prior to founding her private practice, Gonzalez-Ang successfully counseled many youth struggling with anxiety and a variety of related relationship issues, including trauma, special education needs, and school avoidance/absenteeism. Gonzalez-Ang spent years working with families in their homes to address the many complexities of relationships and family systems. Informed by her own experiences with taming anxiety as a child, Gonzalez-Ang is recognized as an extraordinarily supportive counselor with a talent for breaking down barriers to progress with children and parents alike. Gonzalez-Ang holds an M.A. in counseling psychology from Lesley University and a B.A. from the University of Massachusetts. Gonzalez-Ang is a leading proponent of the Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) method pioneered by Dr. Eli Lebowitz of the Yale Child Study Center; this approach focuses on empowering parents to change their own behaviors in ways that will help their child(ren) overcome anxiety. Marina is a newly trained EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) Therapist. In addition to practicing the SPACE method and traditional cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Gonzalez-Ang enjoys sharing yoga’s anxiety-reducing benefits with interested clients. She resides with her family in Medford, Massachusetts and together with her two children, she enjoys skiing, baking, and making homemade ice cream.
