Hi, I’m Mona. I specialize in helping people overcome the emotional pain of trauma and addictions, including anxiety and depression. With a Master’s in clinical social work and over 25 years as a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky, I guide you in understanding how trauma affects your relationships, career, health, and overall quality of life. I help people break free from the pain of the past without reliving it. With a unique blend of counseling and coaching, I will guide you to release emotional baggage and reclaim your life. Every person's journey is unique, so I offer tailored services to meet your needs. Whatever you're facing, I'm here to help you move forward. I create a safe/respectful space to help clients identify & break through the barriers that hold them back. I explore limiting beliefs rooted in past traumas, especially from childhood, and transform them into empowering truths. By building healthy coping skills, boundaries, & self-care, clients quickly experience improved self-esteem, better relationships.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress. We'll look at how your thoughts, beliefs and past experiences affect your emotions and ability to function. I'll help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
