MEET OUR TEAM
Christina Gonzales MA, ACSW
Hello, I'm Christina Gonzales, a passionate Associate Clinical Social Worker committed to helping children, individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges, whether dealing with everyday stressors or major transitions. With extensive experience working with military veterans and families, I understand the unique complexities that come with those experiences. I believe everyone has the capacity to heal, grow, and find joy, and my role is to guide you in creating a personalized plan to build a balanced, confident, and fulfilling life.
I use Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), focusing on mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help manage emotions, improve communication, and navigate life’s challenges in healthier ways. While change can be difficult, I provide practical strategies to make life more manageable, whether you’re facing personal struggles or family challenges.
In our work together, you’ll find a warm, supportive space where you feel heard and respected. I work with children as well as adults, and I meet you where you are, helping you understand your emotions, strengthen relationships, and face challenges with confidence and resilience. Together, we can create lasting change and help you thrive.
For your convenience, I offer flexible evening and weekend hours
Kelly Wilson, MA, LCSW,
Neurofeedback Clinician
Founder
My therapeutic approach combines neuroscience, Trauma-Informed Care, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to provide tailored support for your needs. I address the whole person and the connection between mind and body, helping you understand how your brain affects both physical and emotional health. Experienced in trauma and PTSD, I am trained in advanced techniques like ILF, Synchrony, and Alpha Theta Neurofeedback (NF).
I believe many effective treatment options have been underutilized in the medical community. I'm committed to offering these therapies to help you address mental health challenges and work toward wellness. I work with individuals, couples, and families on OCD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, trauma, and PTSD. With extensive experience in neuroscience-based practices, I focus on supporting clients through complex mental health challenge. I have worked with combat veterans, clients with traumatic brain injuries and many individuals with neurodivergent conditions.
In our sessions, you'll find a warm atmosphere that encourages open conversation. I strive to create a calm and supportive environment where you feel comfortable. My casual style includes humor to ease any initial discomfort. I also work with Simon, my professionally trained service dog, who provides comfort and may nap in the corner during our sessions.
CWBF Board of Directors
The Connections Without Barriers Foundation Board of Directors is composed of dedicated North County business and community leaders who are passionate about expanding access to mental health care. Many of our board members are part of military families themselves, giving them a personal understanding of the sacrifices and unique challenges experienced by service members, veterans, and their loved ones.
Our board members bring diverse professional experience, community knowledge, and leadership skills to the foundation. Every director serves entirely as a volunteer, contributing their time and expertise without compensation. This helps us keep administrative expenses low and direct as much donor support as possible toward the people and programs that need it most.
The board provides responsible oversight of the foundation’s mission, finances, programs, and long-term direction. Through fundraising, advocacy, and community partnerships, members help expand access to affordable counseling, neurofeedback, and other essential mental health resources.
Our board believes quality mental health care should never be out of reach because someone cannot afford it. Together, we are committed to helping military-connected and low-income individuals and families throughout North County receive the compassionate care they deserve.
