Monica Mora, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Monica!

I work with individuals to improve their emotional and mental well-being. I help those who feel hopeless, anxious, and misunderstood. My focus includes improving self-esteem and promoting self-love. I believe therapy helps you find your strengths, happiness, and inner peace.

My focus

I work with clients from childhood through adulthood experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress management challenges, LGBTQ+ concerns, and ADHD. I help individuals who feel alone, afraid, or misunderstood find their path to wellness.

My approach

I create a safe space where you are respected, validated, and heard. I use self-esteem enhancement strategies, strength identification, and evidence-based approaches to support your growth. Together we explore patterns, build coping skills, and work toward lasting change.

My communication style

I create a safe space for open communication and encourage you to share what's on your mind. I value building a strong therapeutic alliance so you feel safe processing past and current stressors. I respect your timing and meet you where you are in your journey. I am fluent in English and Spanish.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have a passion for working with those who feel alone, afraid, or misunderstood. Taking steps to ensure your well-being is courageous. I view therapy as an opportunity to create change by redefining yourself.

My goals for you

I believe in creating a collaborative relationship to identify your needs and address them together. I am an ally in your journey of wellness, recovery, and healing.

Our first session

I congratulate you on taking these steps toward emotional well-being and healing. Our first session includes an assessment to gather information about who you are and identify your strengths. This helps us create a personalized path forward together.
