Professional statement

Dr. Jasmine Gonzalez is a board certified and licensed professional counselor in Dallas, Texas. She is the founder and owner of The Affirming Space, PLLC and she provides telehealth services all throughout the state of Texas and Florida. She entered the counseling field in 2011 supporting the initiative to provide counseling to military service members and their families. It was actually during her military service that she was inspired to join this field and gain a vast appreciation for offering a holistic approach to client-centered therapy.

In addition to her doctoral research and clinical practice throughout the years, Jasmine has gained extensive experience counseling children, adolescents, adults, and couples in a multitude of different settings including counseling private practice, community mental healthcare, and the government setting. Treating and interacting with people from all walks of life and diverse backgrounds has also allowed her to understand the lens of social and cultural issues that affect mental health across the lifespan.

Jasmine specializes in working with individuals and couples on stress, anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ affirming care, multicultural experiences, relationships, trauma, and navigating life’s challenges. Her therapeutic approach is compassionate and non-judgmental, helping others to build resilience, clarity, and meaningful change.

Therapist's note

I understand that therapy can be an investment, and I want to make it as accessible as possible for you. To support this, I offer a sliding scale fee structure based on your financial situation. If you're interested, we can discuss eligibility during your initial consultation.

I currently do not accept all insurances directly, but I can provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement, which may allow you to seek partial reimbursement from your insurance provider. I’m happy to assist you with this process to ensure therapy is accessible to you.


Client testimonials

"Great first session!"
- Zencare client January 2022
"Dr. Gonzalez was very attentive and gave me a lot of information about the sessions."
- Zencare client April 2022
"Jasmine was warm, kind, and open during our call. We had a great consultation and she took the time out of our short call to get to know me as well as answer any questions I had about her approach. She was very easy to talk to and, in the 15 minutes or so that we spoke in the phone, I was able to get a clear sense that we would be a great fit."
