Mona is very helpful and attentive. She remembers topics and people related to discussions in previous sessions and is able to help tie current experiences or challenges with those in the past. I believe that a therapist knowing the framework of your situation makes it easier to bridge out to new topics and therapy while still being able to go back to the past without having to rehash what we’ve already gone over. She helps me realize qualities about myself that I may not see and helps give me the tools to put plans in place to help achieve my goals. I leave every session feeling better about all aspects of my life, especially my confidence which has been a lifelong challenge. I highly recommend Mona.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

This isn’t my first rodeo as they say. All around the world I have tried to find a therapist as fantastic as Mona. So grateful to have found someone that is helping me more than I could have known possible. Highly recommend.
She is very good and knows her staff.
I have only had a couple sessions with Mona. She has made me feel comfortable with her from day one. She listens and seems to really understand from where I am coming from. She has given me some really good homework so far and I am trying some of her advice. I feel heard, understood, compassion and support
First time trying therapy and after not seeing the value with my first therapist, I was matched with Mona. And I have a whole new vision of therapy: it feels like talking to a friend while hearing valuable advice and information on pretty much anything I need help with, whether it’s business or personal matters. A great experience so far, Mona is great!
Mona is a very nice therapist and i recommend her to everyone
