Meet Mary Hoekje Gonzalez

Reaching out for help can take a lot of courage-congratulations on taking the first step!

What I Offer

Therapy for all ages, honoring your unique journey.

Individual play-based therapy (ages 4-10)

For very young children, play is the language of healing. In a child-centered play therapy approach, children are trusted to be the experts on themselves as they heal through play.

Child-centered play is most commonly used with children up to 10 years of age. However, play therapy techniques can be used for healing at any age.

Individual Talk Therapy

For adolescents and adults, I provide individual talk therapy. I offer in person therapy for all ages, and telehealth therapy for ages 14+.

I believe that the person in front of me is the true expert on themselves and their stories, and view my role as a collaborator.

I provide immigration evaluations through Mendez CAPS, offering one-time mental health evaluations for individuals pursuing VAWA, U-Visa, T-Visa, and 601s.

These evaluations are often coordinated with your lawyer and are provided in-person in Grand Rapids, Michigan through Mendez CAPS.
