Hello, my name is Monica. I am triple board certified in women's health, primary care, and mental health. My varied work experience has taught me the centrality of mental health for people across the lifespan. Did you know that 55% of adults who struggle with mental health in the U.S. do not receive care? If you are here today, know that YOU ARE NOT ALONE. It is never too late to begin your journey towards becoming the best version of yourself. If you want to experience fulfillment and find your purpose, if you are tired and ready for your life to turn around in 3-6 months, book an appointment today! I will support you, guide you, and strive to provide you with tools to reach optimal mental health and well-being. I would be honored to be a part of your therapeutic path to wellness!
General introductions, establishing therapeutic support, reviewing policies, and gathering of past medical history.
Being a good listener, taking a non-judgmental approach, being open-minded and guiding.
I have experience working with teenagers and adults, ages 15 to 50.
I am a firm believer in CBT to help treat anything from anxiety, to depression, to insomnia, to ADHD. As part of my treatment, I include CBT as an intervention as often as possible.
Faith based counseling can provide additional support and create a stronger bond with the client. People who have a faith-background will benefit from going back to their roots.
Supportive therapy is central to the therapeutic relationship. I strive to provide Supportive Therapy in every session as my goal is to support each and every one of my clients.
Culture is an important aspect of every individual. I strive to provide culturally sensitive therapy to all of my clients taking into consideration their backgrounds and cultures and using it to better understand clients and form the best plans of care with them.
Compassion, empathy, and understanding are central themes in my work. Regardless of what you are going through, no relationship can thrive if not based on compassion.
