Ishtar Gonzalez is a native New Yorker with 16 years of experience serving individuals from all walks of life. She refers to her practice as an oasis for transformation. Her expertise is in working with clients who are sensitive, empathic and/or have an array of experiences that have left traumatic imprints of low self worth, self doubt, co-dependency, anxiety and depression on their being. Her active prayer has been to serve those who are resonant with her unique approach so she can assist them in alchemizing their struggles into sacred empowerment. In her vast experience, as both therapist and spiritual guide, Ishtar has been able to support these clients in meeting themselves through increased self awareness and radical self love. This has led to their ability to transmute their pain by reuniting with their true self all the while releasing limiting and distorted beliefs. Ishtar offers traditional integrative psychotherapy and infuses it with an array of energetic healing modalities intuitively tailored to the individual. Her approach is holistic as it supports the mind, body and soul but also offers a multi-dimensional perspective that is geared towards liberation of self and sovereignty. You can expect interventions ranging but not limited to, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to Kundalini Yoga and Meditation as well as Ancestral/ Karmic Clearings, Light Language, Shadow work & Cosmic de-coding all reflective of the clients level of consciousness. She is reverent in her approach and strongly believes in empowering her clients through fortifying their relationship with Self. Message to clientsWe are often engaging in life through the means that we have inherited by all those who have come before us. Life is too often a perpetual cycle where joy, peace, harmony, and all the other facets that make life worth living seem to escape us more and more. Instead, we are trapped in depression, anxiety, distrust, judgment and more often than not our physical temples are suffering. Collectively, a shift in perception is needed. This starts with the individual. It is no secret that the pilgrimage of life can be arduous - no one is immune to this. However, it is all aligned with divine purpose and it is always meant to assist our evolution. Life is the classroom and it is perfectly woven to bring us back to our true self. No exceptions. It is imperative to take the time to connect with ourselves and to enhance our INNER-standing. All else then follows. If we seek within- if we offer ourselves compassion and care we will find the path to our personal illumination. All labyrinths do lead home. I whole heartedly know this to be true and feel grateful to serve as a guide of remembrance. If this resonates, I invite you to book a free consultation.
