Getting to know Monica Connell

Let's begin: I'm so glad you are here. I'm Monica Connell, LCSW, and I hold a Master's in Social Work from Metropolitan State University. My practice offers an individualized approach that focuses on empowering you. Is life filled with conflict? Do you feel anxious, unhappy, or just exhausted all the time? Trauma and wounds impact all of us, and repair work is a process. Feeling stuck in the past or a painful experience does not have to be the way you walk through the world. I believe healing takes place when we feel understood. My hope is to guide you through a process to gain a sense of control on your journey with upward momentum. My approach I use theoretical approaches such as motivational interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused, psychodynamic, trauma-informed, family systems, and compassion-focused therapy. My focus I am most comfortable working with adults aged eighteen to sixty-five. The conditions I treat most often include anxiety, depression, adjustment disorders, PTSD, and stress disorders. My communication style Supportive, compassionate, empathetic. My journey to mental healthcare I began my career working in community mental health. Over time, I have specialized my interests and recognized that my niche is working with others in a one-on-one setting, providing direct patient care. My goals for you My style engages you by listening to reflect your experiences, exploring to understand the root cause of your concerns, collaborating to establish a shared purpose, and developing a plan that supports your goals. My first session with you A typical first session includes exploring your psycho-social history, understanding your highest needs and greatest strengths to connect and clarify what you want from sessions. Additionally, we determine session frequency and schedule days and times that fit your life.
