Getting to know Monika Jastrzebski

The provider is a "Associate Counselor" with license number 37AC00823800, practicing under the supervision of Paola Disla. Hi, I’m Monika Jastrzebski, a Licensed Associate Counselor (LAC) based in New Jersey. I’m passionate about helping individuals explore their emotions, experiences, and personal growth through both traditional talk therapy and creative expression. I earned my Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) in Visual Arts from Rutgers University, which sparked my deep interest in the connection between creativity and emotional well-being. I later completed my Master’s degree in Counseling and Art Therapy from Caldwell University, where I received extensive training in integrating clinical counseling techniques with art-based interventions. Currently, I am pursuing my PhD in Art Therapy Research and Practice at Florida State University, where I also serve as a Graduate Assistant, further expanding my expertise in evidence-based therapeutic approaches. Throughout my academic and clinical journey, I have gained hands-on experience working with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, and life transitions. My background in art therapy allows me to support clients who may find it difficult to express their thoughts and emotions verbally, offering alternative ways to process and heal through creative exploration. I also have experience working with diverse populations, helping clients navigate identity, relationships, and self-esteem challenges. My approach is warm, collaborative, and client-centered. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can feel comfortable being yourself. Whether through conversation, creative expression, or a combination of both, I tailor each session to meet your unique needs and goals. I believe that healing is a personal and empowering journey, and I’m here to support you in gaining insight, building resilience, and creating meaningful change in your life.
