Understand your brain.

The genetic effects of mood and personality, together with life context and the epigenetic effects of impactful events, have trained your brain to be what it is today.

Understand your brain.

Some people come to therapy because life got hard. Others come because life is always hard — by design.

High pressure. High visibility. High consequence. A professional athlete. A trial attorney. A surgeon. An entrepreneur. A public figure. The details are different. The psychology is not.

What these patients share is not their income or their title. It is the particular weight of performing — and being human — at the same time. Managing relationships while managing public personas. Staying mentally sharp while absorbing enormous pressure. Knowing that what happens inside your head directly affects what happens in your career, your family, and your life.

Dr. Fitzgerald González, with 51,000 hours of clinical and research experience, has assessed and treated human beings across the full spectrum of human experience — from the most acute and high-risk settings in clinical psychology to the performance arena. That range produces a clinical psychologist who is not easily surprised, not easily impressed, and not easily rattled.
