Welcome to Day One
Getting ahead starts with taking that first step, and I'm here to walk with you on your journey to personal growth.
I'm Laura Goncalves, founder of Day One Counseling and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am also a ADHD-Certified Clinical services provider and certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy with seven years of experience.
Each year one in five people experiences a mental health challenge. We all face life's ups and downs that can impact our well-being. In fact, about half of Americans will be diagnosed with a mental health condition at some point in their lives, and for most, symptoms begin by age 14. My mission is to make therapy accessible so that everyone can get the help they deserve.

Do you struggle with feeling disconnected from yourself and others? Do you put your needs at the bottom of the to-do list? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier?
Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed and uncertain about how they are supposed to manage their relationships, careers and their lives. Pushing away your needs and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it shouldn’t be so hard to live a better life.
I offer a custom approach for each of my clients starting with understanding where you are now and the challenges you are facing. I assist you putting a plan in place to help you move forward while offering an inclusive, safe space virtual appointments to suit your schedule.
Helping people live a better life is my passion. It might mean learning to set boundaries, working through a loss, or life transition or helping you change a pattern of behaviour that is keeping you stuck. My goal is to help you feel better. Contact me today and we’ll get started on your journey together.
