“Hi ! I have been a client of Monica Devol for almost 3 years and it has been quite a life journey. While in her care, I compliment her often- she has such great memory or maybe takes impeccable notes (lol) but either way I appreciate her attention to details. It helps me recognize patterns I need to break. Till this day, I have some realizations that have helped me be a better person in my relationships. I have been able to see different perspectives more clearly, which has helped me regulate my emotions. I just went through a long move and as a result a difficult breakup. Working with Monica during that difficult time helped me feel like I wasn't alone. I hold so much gratitude for our time together and you will too. Thank you for letting me write about you! ”

“Monica is so kind and responsive. Finding a therapist can be daunting, and after searching for some time I am so glad I found her. Monica has offered me a safe space and full support while encouraging me during the challenges I’ve encountered. I could not recommend her more highly. ”

Getting to know Monica Devol
I believe the most powerful element in therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client; the connection must be supportive, non-judgmental, and empathic. Like many therapists, my approach draws on concepts and techniques from many different modalities, but one needs to have the right fit. I believe much of the emotional pain people experience stems from a lack of compassion for themselves. We are often faced with challenging situations, difficult relationships, problems communicating, and much more in our day-to-day life. We all need someone we trust and WANT to talk to.
I enjoy helping people manage anxiety, depression, relationship issues, learn healthier coping strategies, and improve communication. I demonstrate unconditional positive regard, identify and reinforce strengths, and assist clients in gaining compassion and acceptance of themselves.
It is invaluable to have someone with whom you can share the intimate details of your life and trust in their supportive guidance. I have 21 years of experience working with people of varied backgrounds and a broad range of problems. Whether you have mild dissatisfaction with life or struggle with trauma and severe mental illness, I am here to help.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Hunter College, City University of New York, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide compassionate, effective care.
What should a new client know about working with you?
That I want them to feel comfortable and safe.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
My process is different with every client. Together we figure out what feels comfortable and what approach would be helpful to them.

I have seen Monica now for 3 years ...wow time really flies by fast. I highly recommend Monica, since our initial conversation I knew she had everything I needed to help me get through my problems. She has excellent bed side manners, great feed back, firm whenever she needs to be, but always respectful. And our appointment are always on time and if her or I are a few minutes late there's always a heads up. If you are looking for someone to listen and to be partial she's the one, she's a delight to talk to and I always feel like she understands me. She's a gem in my eyes.

Monica is a brilliant therapist with emotional intelligence off the charts. I have recommended several friends to her, each with different issues and family history and each of them has told me that she met them where they were and pointed out what their strengths were and what they could do in the here and now.

I've been seeing her for a while now. Monica is very good at making you feel comfortable. You can tell she is not judgemental and very open minded. She has a more casual and easy going approach and let's you guide much of the direction of the session; she won't push you to talk about things if you're not comfortable yet.
But if you are feeling overwhelmed and lost in your problems, you can request that she jump in and give structure and direct the session. It has been very helpful to request this at times and it always lowers my anxiety.
