Getting to know Monica Rios

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration at the University of Texas in Brownsville and my Master's in Counseling at Southern Methodist University. I began counseling clients in 2022 at the Southern Methodist University's clinic. During that time, I also worked as a full-time Bilingual teacher for 13 years. Trust is the cornerstone of therapeutic relationships, and I am dedicated to fostering a trusting and collaborative environment where my clients can work towards their most important goals. With a focus on empathy and respect, I will tailor therapeutic strategies to address each client's specific needs, ensuring a personalized and practical counseling experience. My approach My approach to therapy draws from psychodynamic understanding of feelings and behaviors that might be challenging or painful in the present and can often be traced back to early life experiences. I offer a private and safe space where we work together at your own pace and without judgment. My focus As an integrative counsellor, I work with individual adults using a range of approaches to suit the particular needs of a client. My communication style I offer affordable integrative counseling, which helps with overcoming difficulties such as low mood, anxiety, poor self-esteem, bereavement, and relationship issues. You may be lacking direction in your life at the moment, it may seem meaningless, or you might feel low in confidence. Perhaps you are looking to find some clarity around what's important to you and to explore how you can bring more of this into your life? Or maybe you want to improve how you feel about yourself? Or perhaps you need a warm and compassionate space where you can fully feel your grief to be able to start to move forward in life again?
