Monica Maher

As a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience, I have worked with individuals navigating a wide range of life transitions, emotional stressors, and trauma-related concerns. My clinical background includes supporting clients through depression, anxiety, complex grief, attachment injuries, and relational challenges, with a consistent focus on building emotional insight, stability, and resilience.

I specialize in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a structured, evidence-based approach for processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing emotional impact.

My approach is collaborative, steady, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change occurs through both emotional processing and skill-building. I aim to create a space where clients can safely explore difficult experiences while also developing practical tools for regulation and daily functioning.

Focusing on trauma and the impact is has on your everyday life. My style is relaxed and authentic.

In the first session, clients can expect a structured but comfortable introduction to therapy focused on understanding their current concerns, history, and goals. We will talk through what has been bringing you in at this time, any relevant background, and what you are hoping to change or improve. Clients are encouraged to go at their own pace. You do not need to share everything at once, and we will focus on building safety and trust in the therapeutic relationship.
