Monica Garfias

Hola! I am a Bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor who is passionate about improving the mental health of teens and adults. Since 2010, I have specialized in working with people who have experienced trauma, battled symptoms of depression and anxiety, or have faced other mental health/emotional issues caused by life stressors. Sometimes we go through periods in our lives where life feels unfair, and we get stuck in that downward spiral just waiting for the next thing to go wrong. These stressful periods in our lives cause changes in our mood and behavior. This may look like not being able to focus or complete tasks, becoming easily irritable or angry, feeling overwhelmed, worrying about even worse things happening. Do you want to gain control back of your life and be able to enjoy yourself? Or even just become a better version of yourself? I am here to help! This is a team effort, we work together to figure out what you want to get out of therapy. I use a variety of therapy techniques to help you reach your individualized goals. I have been trained and certified in working with trauma survivors. I also work with people who suffer from depression, anxiety or other mood disturbances. If you were waiting for a sign to engage in therapy, here it is! Therapy is the perfect place to unload and process all of those heavy feelings or things you have been through. No one will judge you here, no matter what it is you bring into the therapy session. This time is just for YOU, to work on YOU and help YOU find hope, healing and peace.
