Getting to know Monarose Amian-Skamfer

I am a Filipino-American, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and California native. I support the Asian-American community who are ready to take the next step in guiding through intergenerational trauma, depression, anxiety, family pressure, differences in multicultural relationships, infertility, self-identity, job stressors, focus, purpose, decision making, and those who are apprehensive in opening up in fear of judgment. My goal is to help those who seek to move forward in their journey of life. My approach I believe that using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) will guide you through many situations that can be complicated. Furthermore, I'm a great listener and will allow you to have space to learn and or use Mindfulness as a natural way to use anytime. You will learn about emotional intelligence and how it benefits relationships with family, friends, and co-workers. I also use aspects of the psychodynamic approach to psychotherapy, attachment theory, family dynamics, understanding the person in the environment, racial trauma, and Maslow's hierarchy of needs. My focus Have you not been yourself, overthinking, feeling anxious, maybe feeling down, and second-guessing everything? I can help you sort through these feelings and find coping skills to get you to a good place. I'd like to support you in crafting skills in how to set boundaries respectfully, honoring your culture. My communication style I'm a great listener and make it easy for you to talk without having to explain any cultural nuances among the Asian-American diaspora. I believe having an organic flow to the conversation will make it easy for us to get the support you need. My journey to mental healthcare Watching my family members growing up, it was and still is a stigma to talk about anything related to mental health. We were taught that the solution to anything mental health-related in Filipino culture is to pray.
