Monica Ferraro

You’ve done the work. You’ve read the books, listened to the podcasts, gone to talk therapy before — and somehow you still feel STUCK.

You may be high-functioning outside while struggling with holding everything together for everyone else inside or even imposter syndrome. Maybe you’re overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, can't pass the final exam(s), trapped in unexplained patterns, or carrying trauma that still lives in your body no matter how much therapy you've done.

Hi, I'm Monica, and I specialize in helping people who are tired of just talking about their pain. Whether you are navigating a painful divorce, or carrying deep childhood abuse, or paralyzed by an upcoming licensing exam, I provide a space to finally break the cycle.

My Focus is Anxiety: Licensing Exam/test, ADHD, divorce anxiety/trauma, Bipolar I/II, substance disorders, PTSD, trauma, chronic pain and health, nightmares, phobias, childhood sexual/physical abuse, sexual trauma & self identity.

I have EMDR certification work completed because I'm passionate about this work. The work you do today can impact not only your future, but the generations that come after you. We don’t just talk about trauma — we process it at the nervous system level so your brain and body can begin to heal. For EXAM anxiety, we dive quickly into EMDR to process.

My approach is deeply relational, trauma-focused, and highly individualized. It's also brief to prep for exam(s).

I draw from neuroscience, attachment theory, EMDR, trauma-focused therapy, nervous system regulation, parts work, CBT, and other modalities to help clients move beyond insight into actual long term change.

My practice is especially helpful for high-functioning individuals whose struggles have not fully responded to traditional talk therapy.

In the first few sessions, you can share your story in a conversational and collaborative setting and you'll identify 3 clear therapy goals so we stay focused,

You will also begin learning practical tools and research-based information about the brain, nervous system, physiology, trauma responses, and behavioral patterns so you can better understand yourself — not judge yourself.

Together, we often explore your family of origin and the early experiences that shaped your current thoughts, beliefs, emotional reactions, coping patterns, relationships, and sense of self.

We don’t just talk about trauma — we work to process it at the nervous system level so your brain and body can begin to heal and reprocess the past differently.
