Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to check out my profile. You have a lot of options and finding the right fit is so important. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed in Florida, with over 10 years of experience. You don't have to be coupled or dealing with family issues for me to work with you, it simply means I have a unique perspective when it comes to my clients and what brought them to reach out to me. I have worked with people who have a variety of reasons why they are seeking help, from growing pains, and relationship problems to substance use issues. My primary work has been with individuals and their families as they navigate the challenges of mental health issues (depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder) and substance use issues. My passion is assisting people to minimize the effects of these issues through learning coping strategies and then focus on building a balanced life that protects them from future crises. I believe that each client I work with has their own strengths, ones that in the face of their problems have been overshadowed or buried. My role is to help you rediscover those and build up previously undiscovered strengths so that you can move forward into the life you dream.

***Currently have weekend openings*** Open minded and non judgmental therapist with a safe place. Experienced with alternative lifestyles, unique situations and welcoming to all individuals. I use an eclectic approach to therapy as one size does not fit all. Counseling is a place to work toward a better and more fulfilling life, where goals are attained, communication is improved and relationships are strengthened. I have over fourteen years experience helping professionals, parents, young adults, minorities, people involved in the criminal justice system, those with substance use issues and other addictions, and individuals experiencing trauma, natural or manmade disasters and homelessness. With a particular interest in sexual dysfunction and intimate relationship problems, I will accept you as you are, with unconditional positive regard. Together we will work as a team partnership to establish goals and the steps to help attain those dreams. I offer messaging, live chat or live phone sessions, typically between the hours of 8pm and 11pm central time, Monday through Friday and 12pm to 5pm on Saturday. You may expect me to respond to any messages as soon as possible each day.

Hi, my name is Monica. First, let me say that it takes a level of fortitude to ask for help from anyone, let alone a stranger. It is different than the bravery it takes to protect our country or our cities, different than the bravery it takes to walk into a room full of people, and even different than what it takes to perform on stage or on an athletic field. So please take a moment to acknowledge your inner strength! I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in the state of Ohio and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have worked in the mental health field for 21 years in some capacity, including community mental health, forensic assessment, and school counseling. What I find most gratifying is that "light bulb" moment when the person in front of me realizes and understands their worth, their strength, or that sense of connecting the dots which is so empowering for growth. I work with the individual to help them see past the personal obstacles that brought them to me in the first place and be able to find the happiness or feel relief they seek. I listen, I accept, and I coach you into a better state of mental balance. My approach to therapy is to challenge thoughts and behaviors that impede productive living. Having said that, I also like to tailor my technique to the person I'm interacting with. I place most of my focus on our therapeutic relationship, which is the key to our success. I have training in Emotional Freedom Technique (Tapping) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I work with those struggling with anxiety, grief, life changes, stress, or whatever else might interfere with living the life you deserve. So pull up a "couch" (your favorite chair or happy place, because with BetterHelp, you can do this wherever you feel most comfortable and safe) and let's get started. I am ready to listen and do what I can to help.

I am a LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) currently licensed in Florida. I have 5 years experience in this capacity, as well as 24 years as a para-professional providing crisis response services (CISM, Peer Support) to First Responders (I am a retired Law Enforcement Officer with 28 years of experience). In addition to my first responder work, I have also had the pleasure of providing counseling services to many of the same people that I had arrested. I mention this because it is not where you've been or where you're at, but where you want to be. I value the person. I have worked with clients over trauma issues, anxiety, depression, coping, existential/quality of life concerns, etc. I take an integrative approach to counseling, adjusting to best serve the client's needs. I am direct and factual in my approach with clients, as I don't believe in ambiguity or leaving someone guessing. That being said, effective counseling also requires warmth, caring and support. I find that a sprinkling of appropriate humor helps to facilitate the process, but most of all, sincerity is the key to a successful collaborative experience. I bring a lot of life experience to counseling, especially trauma/crisis issues for First Responders. I do not just talk the talk, I have walked the walk.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and have been practicing in Georgia and Florida since 2014. I have a Masters of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy and a post-Masters certification in Primary Care Behavioral Health. I'm also certified in Trauma - Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and am trained in Child and Family Traumatic Stress Intervention. I've worked with children, adolescents, adults, and couples in mental health clinics, schools and have experience both public and private medical practices. I worked for several years in endocrinology and chronic pain management helping adults manage the effects of chronic illness on their lives and relationships. I've also served as the Clinical Director of a Children's Advocacy Center and worked with families dealing with trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and relational problems. My passion is helping people build and live the lives they've always wanted. Lack of satisfaction in our daily lives and relationships can leave us feeling down, worried, or alone. That's not how life should be! As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I offer a systemic, relational approach to both problems and solutions. I work collaboratively with my clients and believe my clients are the experts of their lives and circumstances. Sometimes people get caught in unhealthy cycles and patterns of behavior and just need a different perspective to help them break these cycles. Other times, people and families attempt to implement changes, but these changes are unsuccessful and leave them feeling discouraged and alone. By engaging in meaningful conversations and dialogue, we're able to create lasting change that results in an improved quality of life, as well as deeper, more connected relationships.
