Dr. Wendy Gonzalez-Canal, PhD
College can be exciting, but it can also feel overwhelming. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, relationship concerns, family stress, perfectionism, identity questions, or a major life transition, therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself and develop practical ways to move forward.
I'm a licensed psychologist with over 10 years of experience, including work at five college counseling centers. I specialize in helping students navigate the emotional challenges that often accompany college and young adulthood. Together, we'll explore the patterns that may be keeping you stuck while also building concrete skills to improve relationships, manage difficult emotions, communicate more effectively, and feel more confident in your daily life.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and direct. I integrate insight-oriented therapy with evidence-based strategies, tailoring treatment to your individual needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
I provide virtual therapy for students located in New York, New Jersey, Florida, and other PSYPACT participating states. I also offer therapy in both English and Spanish.
Call or message me today to schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation to get started. I look forward to hearing from you.
