Getting to know Monica Monge De La Cruz

Hi, my name is Monica M. DeLaCruz, and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California. I’d like to think of therapy as a process of self-discovery and exploration. I care deeply about supporting people when they feel lonely, face difficult transitions, feel stuck and hopeless, and have tried the usual things that are not working. This can include life changes such as divorce or the death of a loved one. This is where I come in. My approach is warm and engaging, and I use evidence-based practices such as CBT, DBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and attachment theory. These tools are effective in treating anxiety, depression, trauma, and reducing stress. When working together, I will help create a safe space, even when you feel most vulnerable, so we can uncover underlying parts of your story that need healing and attention. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from National University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support my clients effectively. My approach My most common approaches include Client-Based Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Attachment Theory, and Motivational Interviewing. My focus I work with high-functioning adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, and mood disorders. My communication style My communication style fosters a safe environment by exploring the deeper parts of oneself that require attention. My journey to mental healthcare What attracted me to a career as a therapist was experiencing loss in my family and the challenges I faced with life transitions. This led me to seek my own therapy for personal healing. What drives me is seeing others grow and use the tools they need to get unstuck. Most clients I have worked with feel stuck and need help. My goals for you I work with clients to explore small, manageable, and realistic goals that are attainable. My first session with you We begin with an introduction and a discussion of what led you to therapy.
