(she/her)
I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have licenses to practice in NY, NJ, CA. I speak fluent English and Spanish. I have been working in the clinical setting since 2002, working with children, adolescents and adults. I have been doing telehealth therapy since 2014, working with adults 18+ with themes that include depression, anxiety, grief, social isolation, chronic illness that includes diabetes management, cardiac illness.
On our first session, you can expect me to listen and explore with you, your expectations, what you would like to work on in therapy.
In using CBT approach, clients have reported improvement in their symptoms, overall quality of life.
My focus is to work with clients that are looking for a supportive environment to work on goals, exploring ways to improve their quality of life.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been practicing Cognitive Behavioral therapy for the past 11 years. It's been successful in helping clients identify thought patterns and behaviors that have not served them well. Clients learn the value of setting realistic goals that keep them motivated for positive change.

On my first (and only) visit so far, Monica was very welcoming and warm. She listened intently and gave great direction. I am excited to work with her in the coming future.
