Monica Slone, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Monica!

My practice began in 1980, so I have 45 years of experience. My approach is integrative, and my main concern is the needs of my client. Everyone's treatment is individually tailored. I specialize in anxiety and depression.

My focus

I work with all ages who can manage telehealth. Depression and anxiety are my biggest focus. Depression includes postpartum.

My approach

I use an integrative approach, including but not limited to: client-centered, CBT, clinical hypnosis, guided imagery, and practical problem-solving.

My communication style

I am a very patient yet direct person.

My journey to mental healthcare

When I was eighteen, I decided I wanted to become a therapist. My mother did volunteer work at the VA with psychiatric patients, and it positively impacted me. I enjoy working with people to improve their lives.

My goals for you

The client and I discussed the goals for therapy at the first session. It is modifiable according to the client's needs.

Our first session

The first session is a friendly conversation about the client's background, needs, concerns, and goals. The client can ask questions about me if they so choose.
