Monica has been an absolute blessing! She is compassionate and kindhearted while maintaining professionalism. I feel I can tell her anything and everything without judgement or worry. She listens to understand and provides helpful feedback with questions to provoke my thinking without pushing her thoughts or opinions. I have grown in many ways in the year plus I have been working with Monica and I know I put in a lot of work to get here but I firmly believe her assistance in achieving those accomplishments were instrumental! I am so grateful for her support over this time! I would recommend over and over!

I am warming up to online therapy. Many people gain more insights into others by nonverbal communication. I suspect this aids both the therapist and the client. Practicality is difficulty finding affordable in person (and affordable) therapy in my community. Monica appears empathetic and capable to work with me on my issues, and good quality video technology captures some nonverbal communication I value.

Monica has been extremely helpful and is a great listener. She has helped me identify problems/solutions just by allowing me to talk. I feel validated every time we meet. She is also great at asking the right questions that allow me to understand why I'm feeling the way I am. These issues that seemed insurmountable not too long ago now appear to have an end in sight. I'm truly grateful to have her as my therapist!

I highly recommend BetterHelp & wishing I had signed up sooner to this platform. I have this amazing renewed sense of hopefulness after just two sessions with Monica. She really listens and makes me feel comforted to have someone safe to confide in. I’m thankful I was matched so well with a therapist. I recommend highly both Monica & BetterHelp!

Monica is an awesome listener who provides encouraging feedback. She helps me see the positive possibilities in a situation and especially with people instead of the negatives, and always encourages me to think of what things and what people are life-giving for me.

Monica has been so kind and thoughtful in her approach to my situation. She has offered insight and suggestions for me to work on. The only thing that I would like from her is a little more challenge to my way of thinking. I am fairly direct and I feel that she could be more direct and ask me more self reflective questions.

Monica has been a great support in my life - as I’ve grown older, my circle has naturally gotten smaller and she’s been someone who’s a cheerleader and empathetic towards what goes on in my life and in my head and has helped provide a 3rd person view on how to view the world and what I might want out of it. I would strongly recommend her

Monica has helped me change a lot of the way I think and process. She is an attentive and patient listener. She gives very helpful recaps of the topics we've discussed that day, as well as what might be beneficial to talk about next session as well. I highly recommend her and have gotten tons out of our time together!
