Training & Credentials
Dr. Gonzales completed his child and adolescent psychiatry fellowship at Northwestern University's Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago — one of the top pediatric psychiatry training programs in the country. He completed his general psychiatry residency at Citrus Health Network affiliated with Florida International University in Miami, and received his medical degree from the American University of the Caribbean.
He holds dual board certifications from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology in both general adult psychiatry and child and adolescent psychiatry — a distinction held by a small percentage of practicing psychiatrists.
Dr. Gonzales is an active member of the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (AACAP) and has presented nationally on ADHD in young adults, with a particular focus on the transition from adolescence into adulthood — a window of time he believes is underserved and critically important.
A Holistic Approach To Care
Dr. Gonzales combines psychiatric evaluation, medication management, and therapeutic techniques into a single, coordinated approach. Appointments are unhurried and treatment plans are built around the individual — not a template. He works collaboratively with patients and families toward goals that are realistic and sustainable.
