Having spent many years working in crisis intervention, suicide prevention, and with people in a variety of difficult legal and personal situations, I tend to be pretty hard to shake. I want to help support you as you seek to control the anxiety, depression, and other stressors that can feel so limiting. I begin from a place of acceptance and positive regard, and utilize evidence-based strategies in collaboration with you, to come together in a plan for meaningful growth.

I’m Monica Guillén, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Certified EMDR Therapist providing telehealth therapy to adults in Washington and Florida. I specialize in helping adults heal from trauma, anxiety, chronic stress, and life transitions. Many clients seek therapy feeling overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or living in constant survival mode. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and culturally responsive. Therapy with me is supportive, structured, and paced to meet your needs. When appropriate, I use EMDR therapy to help process unresolved or distressing experiences so they no longer drive emotional reactions, anxiety, or self-doubt. I also integrate evidence-based tools to support nervous system regulation, emotional awareness, and day-to-day coping. As a bilingual and bicultural therapist, I understand how culture, family roles, and systemic stressors impact mental health. I strive to create a space where clients feel safe, understood, and respected without judgment. Therapy is not about fixing you—it is about helping you reconnect with your strengths and move forward with greater clarity and confidence. I offer telehealth services to adults seeking trauma therapy, anxiety treatment, and support during major life changes. My goal is to help clients feel calmer, more grounded, and better equipped to navigate life with resilience, balance, and self-trust.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Washington and began my education at the University of Washington receiving a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology. I went on to receive a Master of Arts Degree in Clinical Psychology from Argosy University in Seattle, Washington. After spending 8 years in the United States Army, I felt I could continue to serve my community and country by more intimately assisting those in need. I wanted to first understand "why do people do the things they do?" and second, learn how to help those people use their freedom to enjoy the life they want to live. I have worked in the mental health and social services field since 2008 with experiences that range from being a Court Appointed Special Advocate for children, a Behavioral Support Specialist for youth with disabilities and at-risk youth, a Child and Family Therapist, and an Adult Therapist for adults with serious (chronic) mental illness and substance use. I have been in private practice since 2019 continuing to help individuals and families with a variety of mental health needs.

In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use.
