HI! I'm Monica Murillo, as Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I'm here to help you reconnect with yourself and your relationships. I blend CBT, EMDR, and the Gottman Method along with other therapeutic techniques to help support you on your unique path-whether you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or just stuck. You set the direction, and I'll walk alongside you. You don't have to do it alone-I'm here with you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, think of it as a relaxed get-to-know-you chat-with a purpose. I'll ask some thoughtful questions to understand what's bringing you in, and you can share as much or as little as you'd like (no pressure, seriously). We'll talk about your goals, my therapy style, and start building a plan that feels right for you. I'll also go over the legal and ethical aspects of therapy— like confidentiality and your rights-so you know exactly how everything works. Expect a warm, welcoming space filled with empathy, curiosity, and maybe even a laugh or two. This is your time—l'm just here to help you make the most of it.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

In our sessions, I bring warmth, honesty, and a collaborative spirit. We'll explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences together-with compassion, curiosity, and a touch of humor when it fits. Whether we're working through challenges or celebrating growth, my goal is to create a space where you feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I support individuals of all ages-children to older adults-through life's toughest moments. I'm especially drawn to those feeling overwhelmed by stress, hopelessness, or relationship struggles. Whether you're a young person needing validation, a couple seeking connection, or someone facing the challenges of aging, I offer a space to feel heard, supported, and empowered to heal and grow.
