Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Monrovia, CA

Mental health and physical health impact each other profoundly. I have a keen understanding of that with years of experience as a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a Family Nurse Practitioner at the same time. I specialize in depressive, mood, anxiety disorders, and ADHD. I am fascinated with integrative medicine and oriental philosophy and their utility in current evidence-based psychotherapy.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of experience in domestic violence, addiction, homelessness, severe mental illness, behavioral modification, individual and family therapy, relational conflicts, crisis intervention, advocacy, social policy, clinical supervision and program development.

I believe in the immense power of our thoughts and our incredible capacity as human beings to change them through awareness, intention and implementation. Together we will work to create the life you want to live despite the hardships you have overcame and any future struggles that may lay ahead.

I believe life’s hardships and tragedies have strength and the power to empower with self awareness and guidance through the pain.

I’m a licensed therapist who understands that life’s journey can be filled with both joy and challenges. With experience working with clients facing anxiety, depression, and identity struggles, I prioritize creating a safe, judgment-free space where you can feel heard and validated. My passion lies in guiding individuals through their emotional landscapes, helping them find purpose and self-confidence to handle life’s challenges.

In my studies at Antioch, I have specialized in Spiritual and Depth Psychology with CBT, DBT, Humanistic-Existential, Client-Centered, Gestalt Theories, Mindfulness, and based on my past experiences have developed a passion for working with a variety of diverse population from 12 years old children and their families to elder adults. I also took courses on World Religions and Women Role in Religion at CSUN, studied in Rabbinical School (AISH Ha’Torah) in Jerusalem, with Buddhist Guru in Nepal and a Hindu Guru in India with knowledge of Vedic (Vedantic), Hindu, Jewish, Christian, and Muslim Tradition.

For over 15 years being on spiritual path and self-discovery journey, I became a Spiritual Guide, Reiki Master, and a Minister. Lead Spiritual Retreats and trainings around the world, including, India, Nepal, Tibet, Russia, Ukraine. This experience prepared me to work with people from a diversity of backgrounds and cultures.

Worked with a vast variety of symptoms and problems providing needed support to my clients suffering from trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, low self-esteem. All of these issues and symptoms have a point to make for us to understand our selves better. Working with adolescents in Residential Treatment Centers, Transitional Youth Living Programs, adult and veterans of all ages, there is one common denominator - if you want your life to be better, we can find your individual path and you might become your own Master. We'll apply, or challenge, your believe system, to make positive changes.

I help my clients resolve their problems, learn coping skills, and set their spiritual and/or religious path. Increasing client's understanding of self and accepting life with all the pluses and minuses, learning from the past without the judgment might be a difficult goal to achieve.

Hi, I’m Magaly, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California. I have experience working in hospital and community-based settings, supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions.

I earned my Master of Social Work degree from California State University, San Bernardino. My approach is trauma-informed, collaborative, and strengths-based, with a focus on helping clients feel supported and understood.

I integrate evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), DBT-informed skills, mindfulness, and solution-focused strategies to help clients build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and move toward meaningful change at their own pace.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Orange County, California. I have worked in this field for over 13 years, and am committed to helping adult individuals from all walks of life navigate life's various challenges. My goal is for us to join together as a therapeutic team to help you better navigate whatever struggles life has thrown your way. I specialize in working with adults experiencing a wide array of concerns including, but not limited to, anxiety, trauma, mood disorders, attention-deficit disorders, relationship difficulties, struggles with self esteem, and various life stressors and transitions.

I know how heavy life can feel when you’re carrying pain, uncertainty, or self-doubt. But I believe, as a wise old wizard once said, “Happiness can be found even in the darkest of places, if one only remembers to turn on the light.” My role is to help you find that light again. I work with Gen Z and Millennial adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and more. Through integrative, culturally responsive care, I combine evidence-based psychiatry with holistic strategies to help you feel heard, supported, and empowered to create a life that aligns with your true self.

Feeling isolated can be deeply draining, and it may seem like hope is out of reach—but you don’t have to carry it all on your own. I provide a welcoming space where individuals and couples can feel truly seen and supported. My approach is grounded in the belief that healing, connection, and meaningful growth are always possible, no matter where you’re starting from.

What I love most about this work is getting to know people—their experiences, their struggles, and their resilience. I believe that feeling truly seen and understood can be a powerful part of healing. My role is to provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can explore what’s weighing on you, make sense of your experiences, and move toward the life and relationships you want. With over 16 years of experience, I personalize therapy to fit you, blending evidence-based approaches like EMDR, DBT, ACT, and CBT with compassion, authenticity, and a deep respect for your unique journey.
