Hello and welcome!
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the State of Oregon and have been providing therapy to clients from all walks of life and across the life span for 8 years. I understand how difficult opening up can be, and I know that finding the right person to talk with is important. It is my honor to help people live life to their fullest potential. Together we will work through any obstacles you may be having and explore self defeating thoughts that are keeping you stuck from living the life you want. We will work towards a greater sense of self awareness and self compassion that in turn, will lead to a more fulfilling life.
My approach to psychotherapy draws upon a number of different treatment modalities to help my clients heal and meet their goals. I offer an empathic, safe environment to discuss any issues my clients may be experiencing. I use a gentle, strength based, trauma informed approach to help bring about awareness, meaning and solutions to my client’s life challenges.
I look forward to meeting you! Please reach out if you have any questions at all!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Monica Gabaldon, MSW. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Monica has helped me better understand my thoughts and feelings and how to take care of myself. She's been more than helpful handling my issues where I would otherwise be lost.

Monica Gabaldon has helped me immensely; she is willing to get right to it and not waffle around with blah blah blah. I would highly recommend her as a therapist.

Monica is very attentive and has a kind and compassionate persona. She makes it very easy to share with her.

Monica has a calm, caring air about her that makes you feel safe and heard. I could tell from the first session that she genuinely cared about me and my mental health. In the first month of seeing her, I was already feeling less anxiety and better concentration at work. She is a gem!

In just our two sessions, Monica has changed my life with giving me easy to implement strategies for coping with a toxic work environment. She's kind, caring, and just amazing at what she does. So thankful I was connected to her as my therapist!
