Getting to know Monique Zarate
Hi there, I'm Monique!
Getting into therapy is an important step toward healing and growth. I provide a compassionate space for clients navigating depression, anxiety, grief, and life transitions.
My approach
My approach is warm, flexible, and client-centered, drawing from CBT and solution-focused therapy and other evidence-based practices to help clients move forward in ways that feel authentic and empowering.
My focus
Life is unpredictable, and seeking support throughout difficult times is a sign of self-awareness and strength. I work with adults navigating life transitions, grief, anxiety, and depression while offering a safe space to build coping skills, work through challenges, and grow confidence while feeling supported and empowered along the way.
My communication style
I utilize active listening and reflective responses to elicit deeper insights, which allows me to create a safe, non-judgmental, and productive environment.
My journey to mental healthcare
With a background in Criminal Justice, Sociology, and Social Work, I’ve gained a strong foundation for understanding people and the complex systems we navigate every day. Along the way, I discovered a true passion for supporting others, which led me to my path as a mental health provider. I believe therapy is a safe and supportive space where clients can build confidence, tap into their resilience, heal from life’s challenges, and grow into the best version of themselves.
My goals for you
Clients are the experts in their own lives. My job in the therapeutic setting is to provide guidance and collaborate with you in creating treatment goals that will serve as your guide to therapy. It is also important to understand that treatment goals can be modified as you begin to grow, learn, and change throughout the therapeutic process.
My first session with you
Our first session will serve as an introduction focused on understanding your needs, current challenges, and discussing your goals for therapy.
