Gerardo "Jerry" Gonzalez Jr., Ph.D.

Psychology is my passion and vocation. I am healer, guide, teacher, certified hypnotherapist, psychologist and psychedelic facilitator.

At 20 years old, I experienced depression and it prompted a deep search for meaning that evolved into a spiritual awakening and a drive to understand everything I could about the psyche. I spent years learning and training in the art and science of psychotherapy. I feel called to help others heal and find happiness in their life.

Meditation, music and natural medicine have been an integral part of my personal healing and spiritual growth process. I want to offer the gifts of natural medicine within the framework of psychedelic assisted therapy to help others heal and experience a greater sense of connection with nature, people and their highest self.

I have extensive training in the treatment of trauma and the most severe mental health conditions, including anxiety, panic, OCD, PTSD, MDD, grief, Bipolar Disorder, and Schizophrenia. I also help professionals and people of all walks of life struggling with normal life stressors, adjustment issues, religious conflicts and seekers looking for meaning to the big existential questions in life. I would love to walk with you on your journey and help facilitate your therapeutic medicine journey at Mindful Elevation Natural Medicine Healing Center.
