In therapy with me you will find that I emphasize acceptance of emotions, reframing negative thinking, and offering self-grace. I try to help you dig deeper to get the root issue that is causing you to be different than the way you want to be.

We are talking about you and your life, things that matter so I am open and non-judging, relaxed, and very real.

I am a trauma informed clinician with training in CBT and DBT. I work from a strengths based perspective with children, adolescents, and their families as well as adults and couples to help navigate the complexity of relationships and day to day stressors. I run several groups including social skill building groups for children who have diagnoses including 2e, Anxiety, ADHD, ODD, and ASD, parent support groups, and DBT skill building groups.


I have worked in residential and school settings as well as in criminal justice. I also the parent of an elementary age child who is always teaching me things and helps me see things from a child's perspective.


It can be very difficult to trust someone especially a stranger and telling your story multiple times. Asking for help is not always easy and scheduling can be challenging. Currently I see adult clients remotely and some children outdoors in Prospect Park.

Jackson Monarca

Therapist

My name is Jackson and I am a transgender man working as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Connecticut. I specialize in working with the LGBT+ community and those with complex trauma. Other topics relevant to my experience include crisis/suicidality, HIV, homelessness, substance use/addiction, harm reduction, and neurodivergence.

I also offer consultation sessions for mental health letters of support for gender affirming care (hormone therapy, surgery, hair removal, etc). I use WPATH standards of care to assess your situation and will provide a letter of support and/or help you to create a plan for further support if we identify any concerns. Keep in mind different doctors/insurances/states have differing laws regarding these letters and I may need to do research prior to writing your letter to ensure we do so correctly.
