Monica Lomeli, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Monica!

As a bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I strive to create a safe, supportive space where you can openly share your experiences, prioritize your mental health, and feel truly seen and understood.

My focus

Reaching out for help is often one of the hardest steps, so I want to acknowledge the courage it takes to be here and take that step for yourself. For the past 13 years, I’ve worked in community mental health supporting children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating stress, anxiety, and depression.

My approach

My approach is always tailored to each person’s individual experiences, strengths, and needs. If we decide to work together, we’ll approach the process as partners in your therapeutic journey. It’s important to me that you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being open in our work together.

My communication style

My communication style is intentional, ensuring that each interaction is purposeful, clear, and supportive of your goals. I take a collaborative approach, working alongside you to explore your experiences and develop insights that feel meaningful and relevant to your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey as a provider began with a counselor who took the time to ask thoughtful questions, remain genuinely curious, and truly believe in me. That experience shaped how I show up today, valuing connection, understanding, and the power of being heard.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals through a collaborative process that centers their values, strengths, and lived experiences. Together, we identify meaningful goals, explore barriers, and develop practical strategies that feel realistic and supportive.

Our first session

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We’ll spend time talking about what brings you to therapy, exploring your story, and discussing what you hope to gain from the process. It’s also a space for you to ask questions and begin getting a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit.
