Hi, I'm Christina and I am so glad you are here. With over 20 years of clinical experience in crisis intervention and trauma-informed care, my work is rooted in helping individuals find understanding, healing, and a way forward when life feels heavy or stuck. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York, and I also hold a certification in Perinatal Mental Health from PostPartum Support International.
As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and medication management for children, adolescents, and adults.

Hi there! I have worked with Adolescents and families as well as with the queer community for 5 years.

I have extensive experience working with individuals with developmental disabilities, working with children, adolescents and adults treating anxiety, depression, mood dysregulation, and ADHD.
---“Beginnings can be scary, endings can be sad, but it’s the middle that counts. We just need to remember that when we find ourselves at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up” (Sandra Bullock, Hope Floats)
Does it feel like you’ve been going through life in “survival mode?” Are you asking yourself “what is my purpose in life?” Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed by fear when considering a change in your life? Are you trying to navigate a transition in your life--job, relocation, relationships, chronic illness/disability etc? Let’s face it, life doesn’t always work out the way we plan and can make us feel all kinds of different emotions. It’s ok to not feel ok all the time. We all go through challenging times in our lives. We don’t have to have a mental health disorder to seek a professional. We may need to seek out someone who can provide a guiding hand, and an objective ear to listen, to help you discover your own underlying strengths, and to provide you with answers to your questions and help you along your journey. I can help you learn to listen to your body, quiet your mind, and follow your heart to find peace within your soul.
My name is Monica Whalen and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years post-graduate experience. I have worked with individuals of all ages and specialize in working with older teens and adults to help guide them on their path to shape their future. It would be my pleasure to work with you on your journey to rediscovering your true self.
It isn’t easy to find the courage to ask for help. If you are reading this, I commend you for getting this far. When you enter my office, you are greeted with warmth and authenticity. I will work hard to provide a safe environment for you to explore and express yourself openly. I use a multi-faceted therapeutic approach with all of my clients as we all come with unique strengths and needs. If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you are just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals
As a doctoral level licensed clinical psychologist I will support you through your journey of self-discovery, helping you develop coping strategies, improve relationships, and find internal balance. I also offer a wide range of assessments along with comprehensive diagnostic evaluations. I specialize in treating individuals with trauma history and eating disorders.
Starting therapy can feel intimidating. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, burnt out, or simply not like yourself, you don’t have to navigate it alone. Whether life feels heavy right now or you’ve been carrying the same struggles for years, this is the place to set some of that down.
In life's greatest challenge lies the greatest potential for helping others. My trajectory as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) changed after navigating the challenging path to parenthood. This includes completing EMDR training and doula training; and I'm enrolled in PSI's perinatal mental health certification (PMH-C) training to be completed later this year. My passion is supporting people from conception through postpartum and beyond.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Pittsford
Finding the right therapist in Pittsford starts with getting clear on what kind of care you're looking for. Common reasons people in the greater Rochester area seek therapy include anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and life transitions. Whether you're looking for a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), or a psychologist, choosing someone with experience in your specific area of concern can make a meaningful difference.
From there, consider the practical details that will help you stay consistent with care — like whether you prefer in-person sessions in Pittsford or virtual appointments, what days and times work with your schedule, and whether a provider's communication style feels like a good match. Many providers offer a free phone consultation so you can get a sense of fit before booking your first session.
Therapy in the Pittsford area can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to bring costs down.
