Getting to know Monica Mishra
Working with Monica:
You're bullied by an unrelenting inner critic. It's crushing your self-esteem. You work so hard to do everything right and check all the boxes, never letting down your guard, never letting them see you sweat. The worry, stress, and fear of disappointing others is exhausting. You thought once you had it all figured out, you'd finally feel okay, right? But you always feel like no matter what you do, it's never enough. It's so frustrating being plagued by anxiety, perfectionism, or even depression. And numbing out doesn't help; it just makes things worse. At what point do you get to enjoy this life? Deep down you feel broken and don't know how to fix it.
This is where therapy comes in. It's time to let go of the need to constantly self-protect, control others' perceptions, and struggle to fit in. Through our work, you will learn that it's possible to balance all of your obligations and responsibilities without abandoning yourself in the process. When you get good with yourself, everything falls into place.
I hold a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Columbia University, Teachers College, and a Bachelor's degree from Boston College. My training equips me to support you with empathy and expertise as we navigate your journey together.
You've struggled long enough. Book now and let's get started. Therapy isn't as scary as you think. You're worth it.
What should a new client know about working with you?
My experience growing up in a multicultural family helps me hold space for you as we process the nuanced complexities of your own racial and cultural experiences. I use a culturally sensitive approach to understand your experiences impacted by oppressive systems and help externalize feelings of guilt and self-blame you’ve unfairly been carrying.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I offer interventions from a variety of therapeutic modalities, including ACT, Psychodynamic, IFS, Existential, and Narrative therapy, as well as provide therapy in both English and French.
Additionally, using ACT for Couples and Emotionally-focused Therapy (EFT), I help straight and LGBTQ+ couples seeking relationship counseling for communication and sexual issues, interracial relationship differences and struggles, difficult family dynamics, and dealing with the pain of infidelity.
Avoir des conversations et établir des liens avec une autre personne dans votre langue seconde peut être un défi. Si le français est votre langue maternelle, ce serait un honneur pour moi de pouvoir communiquer avec vous à partir de la langue dans laquelle vous vous sentez le plus à l’aise. J’aimerais discuter avec vous ou vos proches dans votre langue maternelle. Je fais de la thérapie en modalité virtuelle et face à face. Contactez-moi aujourd’hui et planifiez une première consultation gratuite de 15 minutes.

Out-of-pocket fees and assistance
Ongoing session: $250-300 for 50 minutes
- Sliding scale: Offers lower out-of-pocket fees on an individual basis, typically based on your ability to pay
- Files your insurance claim: You pay the session fee upfront and the provider files the claim for you, so you can get reimbursed directly without worrying about the paperwork
More information on payments and coverage
We are a full-service practice that caters to each individual client. Before we can confirm your session, it is important that we verify your insurance and fee information with you. Due to the No Surprises Act, we will let you know up front what your fee for therapy will be. We call, text and email you after you book on Zocdoc so as to discuss next steps in the booking process before your session. Please do not come to the office until you have heard from Monica and Sentient Psychotherapy.

I've only been seeing Monica for couple months and I have noticed a significant change in my anxiety level. This is my first time in therapy and feel it is a wise investment for myself. And the office is really tranquil, so you feel fresh minded when you leave.
