Hello, I am Janice Monestine, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience. I bring a compassionate, culturally responsive, and client-centered approach to care. I have a deep understanding of diverse communities, specialize in creating safe supportive spaces where individuals feel seen and empowered. My professional background spans child welfare, crisis stabilization, substance abuse and mental health group therapy and individual therapy. I am skilled with meeting clients where they are, helping them build resilience, and guiding them toward meaning full change through evidence based interventions and strength based practice. My style is warm, collaborative, and solution focused- balancing empathy with accountability to support growth.
Your first session will entail a time to get to know one another and the reason for therapy, explain the general structure of the sessions, confidentiality, what you can expect from therapy, session logistics, and your goals and expectations.
Client leave sessions with practical tools, new perspectives and a stronger sense of resilience. They gain skills to manage stress, regulate emotions, and navigate life's challenges with more confidence. Many walk away feeling heard, supported and empowered to make choices that align with their values and goals.
My approach to therapy is client-centered, strength-based and culturally responsive. I believe in meeting clients where they are, honoring their unique experiences, and tailoring interventions to fit their individual needs and goals. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution focused strategies, and mindfulness-based techniques to help client build coping skills, resilience and insight. The clients meet goals with my approach to therapy are seeking treatment with anxiety, depression, life challenges, grief and loss, and anger management issues.

This was my first session. It was very pleasant and encouraging. I was given an assignment to help with my concern, which is what I hoped. I look forward to my next appointment. CH
