Getting to know Monica Garnett

Hi there, I'm Monica! Hello, my name is Monica Garnett. I'm a licensed therapist in California, Nevada, New Jersey, Virginia, and Illinois, with a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. I have over 20 years in the mental health field and have worked with adolescents, adults, families, and couples. My approach My first 1 to 2 sessions are focused on getting to know each other. The therapeutic relationship has been found to have a strong impact on the achievement of mental health goals. My preferred approaches are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. My focus I work with clients from the ages of 16 to 99. Many of the concerns I address are related to anxiety, depression, stress management, relationships, and self-esteem. I am also a certified Substance Abuse Counselor and have experience working with veterans. My communication style My sessions are personable and include laughter and work. I believe in speaking to each person as a human and very much enjoy meeting clients where they are in life. My office is a judgment-free and grace-filled zone (including self-criticism). As your partner, I listen and give feedback. My journey to mental healthcare I have wanted to be a therapist since I was in middle school. I found that many peers-and some adults-would ask me for advice. I enjoyed providing care and assistance. Today, I still have the same love. It's amazing when clients have their “ah ha” moment and achieve their goals. My goals for you I find that taking the role of a partner is helpful in the achievement of my clients' goals. Their goal for healing becomes our goal. Once the goal is established, we look at the realistic objectives they can take for their healing.
