Getting to know Monica Amaro

Monica Amaro was born and raised in El Paso, Texas. Facing many challenges of her own, she was guided by a therapist who helped her become a better advocate for herself—an experience that led her to follow this path as a way of paying it forward. Monica believes therapy is not one-size-fits-all, and while she may not be able to reach everyone, she strives to reach as many people as possible. Her goal is to empower, strengthen, and encourage her clients by restoring hope, wholeness, independence, and self-worth in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.
