Meet Mona
I began my work in the mental health field in 2014 as a Certified Peer Specialist, drawn to the transformative power of healing relationships—especially my own journey with my father and mental health. From 2016 to 2018, I served as the Social Services Director of a day treatment program, followed by a role as a Housing Coordinator from 2018 to 2019, where I supported individuals navigating complex life transitions. In 2019, I transitioned into clinical therapy and became fully licensed in April of last year. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting clients facing anxiety, depression, PTSD, and grief. I am certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and will be completing EMDR certification training in June 2025. My approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing from DBT, CBT, ACT, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, psychodynamic theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and strengths-based interventions. I believe in meeting clients where they are—with compassion, collaboration, and curiosity. Outside of the therapy room, I find joy in reading, singing, dancing, watching true crime documentaries and comedies, and spending quality time with my Yorkiepoo, Biggie Smalls. I also cherish time with family and friends and love to travel when I can. I strive to bring authenticity, warmth, and a sense of humanity into every session.
