Hello, My name is Dr. Monica Autrey-Madden, PsyD, MFT. I am a licensed Marriage and Family therapist in California and Michigan. I have been licensed for 29 years, and specialize in working with clients who have symptoms of anxiety, depression and relationship concerns.
I use a Cognitive Behavioral approach when working with my clients. Cognitive behavioral therapists teach that when our brains are unhealthy, it is out thinking that causes us to feel and act the way we do. It is important to identify the thinking that is causing the feeling/behaviors and to learn how to replace this thinking with thoughts that lead to more desirable reactions.
I create an environment of warmth, support and encouragement. My goal is to assist my clients with modifying feelings, conditions, attitudes and behaviors which are emotionally, intellectually, or socially ineffective. I also assist my clients in arriving at his/her own decisions regarding presenting issues.
