New to Grow
Hello! My name is Monica, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and I specialize in EMDR as well as a combination of somatic and cognitive therapies. I believe that a strong, trusting therapeutic relationship is a vital part of the healing process, providing a safe, supportive space where real growth and transformation can happen. I help adults deepen self-understanding, release old patterns, and build more fulfilling relationships.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we'll start with me getting to know you and gathering some of your history, then dive into some of the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My approach is rooted in compassion and curiosity. In a safe, judgment-free space, we’ll take a holistic approach tailored to your needs to support your healing, growth, and movement toward greater clarity.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I enjoy working with adults who are looking for effective, lasting relief from trauma, anxiety, stress, and/or emotional challenges.
EMDR
A therapy method I use to help individuals process and heal from traumatic or distressing experiences.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Helps individuals identify and challenge negative or unhelpful thoughts and beliefs, then replace them with more balanced and constructive ones. This shift in thinking leads to healthier emotions and behaviors, improving overall mental well-being.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Helps individuals manage intense emotions and improve relationships by teaching skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
