From there, Monica works collaboratively with clients to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to their needs. Sessions often include exploring emotional patterns, identifying stressors, building coping strategies, and practicing practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or life transitions.
Her approach is structured yet flexible, blending evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based techniques, and person-centered support.

More information on payments and coverage
I am in-network with Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield of Illinois, and UnitedHealthcare PPO plans. If you have one of these plans, your insurance may cover a significant portion of your sessions. I encourage you to contact your insurance provider ahead of time to understand your specific benefits, copays, and any deductible that may apply.
Once you book your appointment, you will receive a call from Dr. Luis San Roman or from me to answer any questions you have and to walk you through the intake forms you will need to complete before your first session. That call is also a great opportunity to ask anything about coverage, fees, or what to expect.
Please note that keeping your scheduled appointment is an important part of the therapeutic process. Consistency matters, especially early in the work, and I ask that clients honor their commitment to the time we have set aside together. If you need to reschedule, please do so as early as possible so we can find another time that works.
If you have questions about payment or coverage that are not answered here, do not hesitate to reach out before booking. I want the practical side of starting therapy to feel as straightforward as possible so you can focus on what matters most.
