Monica Pattillo, a Telehealth Family Therapist dedicated to helping individuals, couples, and families build stronger, more connected relationships.

Starting therapy is a brave and meaningful step, and I’m honored to walk alongside you in that process.

I have deep respect and admiration for any person willing to seek improvement in a therapeutic environment. I was born in Ethiopia and raised in Maryland. I have worked as a counselor/therapist since 2004 and have had great success working with people to improve their quality of life.

I provide compassionate care in a safe environment where your needs are the main focus. Together, we'll build a therapeutic relationship centered around your personal goals, helping you develop skills to work through mental health challenges and find greater stability and balance.

I want healing to feel real, supportive, and connected to your actual life in ways that help you feel more grounded, self-aware, and connected to yourself. I enjoy incorporating reading, movement, mindfulness, yoga, and spending time outside into the healing process in ways that feel natural and meaningful to you.

When avoiding painful emotions feels like it has stopped working for you, you may feel stuck or disconnected from yourself or from others. Therapy can be a place to slow down and listen to your needs. I support adults in making sense of difficult emotions and understanding patterns that shape how we connect with others.

I provide individual, couples, and family therapy.

Some therapeutic approaches I like to utilize include: family systems, Adlerian theories, person-centered theories, and NTU therapeutic approach.

Life throws many obstacles. We experience anxiety, depression, grief, and emotional distress; however, we must learn skills to navigate and cope with these times. I can assist you with exploring options and finding coping methods that work best for you to manage these feelings effectively.

I am an LMFT with over thirty years of experience. I understand that learned behavior results in patterns that can either be positive and life-affirming or maladaptive and negatively impact our self-esteem, happiness, and relationships. I help clients unravel where destructive life patterns come from and empower them to have a more fulfilling life.

I help individuals who feel overwhelmed by work/school, family dynamics, or relationship struggles find clarity and relief.

I support individuals through mental health and recovery journeys with compassion and evidence-based practices. I create a safe, stable environment where you can navigate challenges and achieve success.

My approach is LIFE ON LIFE TERMS—I even named my private practice after that phrase. Alignment 101 with all my clients, creating a comfortable environment in our sessions so we can partner on the journey that will take place.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, and stress. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who feel overwhelmed by responsibilities, changes, or relationship concerns. Therapy provides a supportive space to gain clarity, strengthen coping skills, and move forward with confidence.

Feeling overwhelmed or misunderstood? I offer a steady, compassionate space where you can explore your story and reconnect with yourself.

I applaud you for taking this important first step toward seeking support. When life feels overwhelming or uncertain, therapy can offer the clarity, strength, and direction you need.

I am particularly skilled in treating Trauma-related disorders, Mood Disorders, ADHD, Anxiety Disorders, and Couples and Family Systems Theories.

I believe each of us has the capacity to overcome life issues and challenges by utilizing our strengths. However, we sometimes need assistance working through life’s obstacles and leveraging our strengths. I can provide a safe and empathic space for healing.
