Monique Robertson, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Monique!

I specialize in anxiety and trauma. My approach is eclectic and person-centered. Therapy is a collaborative process, so I hope to create a setting where clients feel comfortable telling me if they feel uncomfortable or do not like an intervention.

My focus

I focus on adults who struggle with anxiety, complex or developmental trauma, perfectionism, codependent tendencies, grief or loss, life transitions, everyday stress, or relationship issues. I work with clients new to therapy and those with years of experience.

My approach

I incorporate various interventions and therapies, including trauma-informed, EMDR, CBT, narrative, mindfulness, EFT, and motivational interviewing.

My communication style

I try to operate very transparently, respectfully, and directly to keep things clear in therapy, and I hope the same thing to be reciprocated with the clients that I work with.

My journey to mental healthcare

I decided to be a therapist due to my love for psychology and research, my desire to help others, and having a positive experience with individual therapy. This work is very rewarding, and I am honored to show up and help guide others in their process and life.

My goals for you

This is something that is brought up at the beginning of therapy and can be modified at any point. When thinking of a goal, ask yourself what you hope to be different in your life, or what it would look like.

Our first session

The first session is more structured than the rest, as an intake must be completed, and a working treatment goal needs to be created. The intake is a lot of questions about what you are currently experiencing, how that is impacting you, and inquiring about information about your past.
