Adán (pronounced ah-DAHN) González (he/él) is a student at Pepperdine University pursuing a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology with an Emphasis in Marriage and Family Therapy with Latinx Communities. In his undergraduate studies, Adán graduated from Santa Clara University with a Bachelor of Science in Commerce and Finance, a Bachelor of Arts in Spanish Studies, and a minor in Philosophy. He is interested in continuing to explore liberation psychology and working from a decolonial framework that seeks to understand each client and their unique life experiences within a larger context (including, but not limited to, how systems of oppression impact clients).

Adán is the son of two immigrant parents from Mexico and is a native Spanish speaker. He grew up in Inglewood and lived there his entire childhood until leaving for university. Adán was the first person in his family to graduate from high school and university, which is one of his proudest achievements. Adán expresses that he feels extremely grateful and honored to be serving the same community that has given him so much. The community that makes up Inglewood and all neighboring communities is vibrant, diverse, and resilient. Adán welcomes all clients with empathy and warmth and, above all, values creating a safe environment in which clients can express themselves authentically. He believes in working collaboratively with clients and working alongside them towards growth, healing, and contentment.
