Monica Pallan

I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist based in California, with over 10 years of experience providing therapy to individuals, children, and families. I earned my master's degree in counseling psychology from Mount Saint Mary's College and am also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), my practice centers on evidence-based techniques that empower clients to make positive changes in their lives and relationships. With a profound understanding of how thoughts, emotions, and behaviors interact within relational contexts, I foster a supportive and collaborative environment where clients can effectively explore and address life's challenges.

As a provider, I bring strengths in compassion and empathy, along with a talent for forging deep connections with individuals' emotions and experiences. With over a decade of clinical expertise in therapeutic modalities, I use this knowledge to shape effective interventions and treatment strategies. Additionally, I am dedicated to a collaborative therapy, actively engaging my clients in treatment planning to empower them as integral participants in their healing journey.

I specialize in working with individuals who are solution-focused and seek support in developing healthier thoughts and behaviors to manage stress or alleviate symptoms. My approach is most effective with clients who are motivated to explore their behavior patterns and core beliefs about themselves and their world, and who are open to making positive changes while taking accountability for their growth.
