Monique Gutierrez

My communication style

I communicate in a way that fits the needs of each individual. I communicate with compassion, empathy, and curiosity. I ask questions to clarify and better understand my clients and to avoid assuming. I enjoy allowing my clients to take the reins on their treatment and leading in the direction that suits them.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have worked in the field of mental health as a therapist for 5 years and was initially attracted to the field in hopes of helping others achieve self-actualization. In my own personal therapy, I have learned the importance of continuous growth and improvement that one can achieve.

My goals for you

My approach to goal setting with clients is collaborative. This process starts with building trust between one another and identifying the client's hopes for treatment.

Our first session

The first session with me will look like me getting to know each individual and building trust and an initial connection. I would most likely inquire about the reason for the person seeking therapy, and I would answer questions to make each individual feel comfortable.

I identify as...

• Female
• Hispanic or Latinx
