Jerine Gonzalez, B.A.
Practicum Student

I am a doctoral student in Clinical Psychology at the California School of Professional Psychology at Alliant International University, Fresno. Prior to my graduate studies, I earned an associate’s degree from Fresno City College and a bachelor’s degree in psychology from California State University, Monterey Bay.

​

My clinical interests include working with children, adolescents, and individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have experience providing individual and group therapy to children, adolescents, and adults, and have worked with a wide range of clinical presentations, including ADHD, OCD, depressive disorders, and anxiety disorders. My training includes work in community clinics, a probation connection center, and as a telephone crisis counselor supporting individuals in emotional distress and experiencing suicidality. I also have experience conducting psychodiagnostic evaluations and assessments.

​

Currently, my research focuses on the impact of psychological flexibility and substance use among individuals struggling with suicidal ideation.

Outside of my clinical and academic work, I enjoy baking, traveling, and spending time with my two cats. I’m passionate about social advocacy, environmentalism, and animal welfare. I'm also a HUGE fan of Harry Potter, Marvel, and love listening to alternative/indie music.
