Great to meet you!

Hello and welcome! I'm Monica, a Maryland-based therapist with roots in Colombia. My journey from Colombia to the USA over 8 years ago has deeply influenced my approach to therapy, offering unique insights into overcoming mental health taboos. This experience has shown me the resilience within diversity and drives my passion for helping you build a healthier relationship with yourself and the world.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My therapy builds on a strong relationship, active listening, insightful feedback, and humor, easing tension and fostering openness. I use a strengths-based approach, focusing on past growth to develop healthy habits. Open to learning from each client, I tailor therapy to individual needs, incorporating CBT and Person-Centered Therapy while staying flexible to find what works best for you. My goal is to navigate your journey with empathy and shared discovery.

What you can expect from our first session

Our first session is a warm, structured start, ensuring we understand each other and set the tone for our journey. We'll talk about your needs and set goals, making room for any questions. While we briefly discuss diagnoses for formalities, our focus is on you - your strengths, challenges, and aspirations. Together, we'll outline our path, aiming for a therapy that feels tailored and transparent, all aimed at fostering a nurturing space for growth.
