Monica Jerez

I'm a child of two immigrants who understands assimilating and keeping values as you try to find your place in this world. I grew up within 3 countries and completed my higher education in the Texas. I help children and adults navigate stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma and life transitions by using evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) in English & Spanish. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space for healing and growth. Seeking therapy is a sign of strength, not weakness. Just as we care for our physical health, our mental well-being deserves the same attention. Together, let's build the life you want to live.

I want to get to know you and your world in a safe, calm and nonjudgemental space. Clients tell me they have never opened up to anyone so quickly and it's because having a postive therapeutic relationship is key to our success in therapy. Then, I will know when to comfort you, when to let you sit with the feeling and when to challenge you.

We will do some assessments to better understand your situation and life in a safe, calm nonjudgemental environment. We will also just have a conversation, allowing us both to get to know each other to build trust and good communication.
