Getting to know Monique Mouchamel

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been practicing since 2008 as an intern, and licensed since 2014. I received my Bachelor's degree in Psychology at UCLA in 2007, and my Master's degree in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University, Santa Barbara, in 2009, and seek to further my education whenever possible through continued education training. I am certified by the California Board of Behavioral Sciences (BBS). I am affiliated with the California Association of Marriage and Family Therapists (CAMFT).

What should a new client know about working with you?

I tend to let the client lead the therapeutic process. I will ask guided questions, share observations, and share resources and techniques. One piece of feedback that I have received most often is that I am very nonjudgmental, which makes it easy to open up and share anything with me. Another piece of feedback that I have received is that I offer a good balance of guidance in therapy as well as allowing the client the space to bring up whatever may be on their mind.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My sessions are 50 minutes in length, and we typically meet once per week, although I am open to more or less frequent therapy sessions. I tend to start a therapy session by asking how you are doing today, how your week was, and letting you then share what you think is most relevant to share or discuss for the session. If you are unsure of what to focus on, I will bring up topics from previous sessions that could use more time and attention, or I will look back at your intake goals and shift the focus to those goals.

In-network insurances

More information on payments and coverage

I am in network with United Health Care, aka Optum. I also take MPI insurance, which typically contracts with Optum for mental health services. For all other insurances, I am considered Out of Network. I do provide a superbill which can be submitted for partial reimbursement with a PPO plan.
