Getting to know Monica Mason

Hi there, I'm Monica Mason, MSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from Norfolk State University. I have approximately seven years of experience working with adults and children in managing anxiety and depression. Are you feeling down and overwhelmed? If so, I am the therapist who can assist you with overcoming life stressors. My approach I like to utilize a person-centered and solution-focused approach with clients. After all, clients are the experts in knowing their life stressors and they just need guidance with creating goals that are tailored to their needs. My focus I have worked with adult women and children in therapeutic settings. I find joy in helping others be the best version of themselves. Before pursuing a career in social work, I worked as a Licensed Cosmetologist for over 20 years. My clients would often tell me how I made a difference in their day by just listening to them vent while in my chair. My communication style I utilize an assertive communication style to promote confidence and self-awareness. I use "I" statements to show clients respect and avoid violating their rights. Additionally, showing clients respect and listening attentively to their needs is how I build good rapport with them. My journey to mental healthcare One of my clients, a licensed therapist, encouraged me to pursue my goal of becoming a therapist because of my ability to build rapport and stay attentive to the needs of others. My goals for you I believe in being specific about what a client wants to achieve. Goals should be measurable to track progress and realistic by considering the client’s strengths when providing interventions. My first session with you I focus on building rapport to create trust and a supportive, safe space. I will review the expectations of therapy during services and assess your needs through active listening.
