Monica Olmos, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Monica!

I specialize in working with children, adults, and families on issues including anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship struggles.

My focus

I believe therapy is a space where you deserve to be fully seen and heard. Whether you're looking to build healthier relationships, develop coping skills, or simply gain more insight into yourself, I'm here to support you every step of the way.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based practices such as CBT and mindfulness-based therapy, and I work from a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive, and strengths-based perspective.

My communication style

Working with me is a collaborative, nonjudgmental, and supportive experience. Clients often tell me they feel heard, seen, and understood in our sessions. I bring warmth, curiosity, and a calm presence into the therapy space, creating a space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely, without fear of being dismissed or rushed.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was inspired by my own experience in therapy as a young person navigating everyday challenges. My therapist provided CBT treatment, and it was life-changing. I gained a positive outlook on life and learned to create a network of support for myself. I was inspired to give back.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting by spending time understanding the goal and helping the client learn to break down their goals into achievable steps.

Our first session

During the first session, we will spend time assessing and understanding the problem, as well as getting to know your background and life where it is at today.
