As a therapist, I stress the importance of holistic wellness. I see each person as a whole and strive to assist my clients in setting goals to gain not only mental and emotional well being, but also to feel good physically and build a healthy lifestyle that will continue to support their whole health. I also feel that therapy should be inviting, productive and even fun! My greatest pleasure is watching my clients grow by building coping skills, self-esteem, and self-love. I have an extensive background in Addictions and Trauma; and also in Depression, Anxiety and Panic Disorders, and Adjustment Disorders.

I have been seeing Monica weekly for the past 5 months and she is the best therapist I’ve ever had. She is so good at guiding you to the root of your issues, while empowering you and making the journey feel self-driven at the same time. She gives me lots to think about throughout the week and validates my experiences while also challenging me to think differently.
Monica is playing a crucial role in helping me navigate a traumatic period, and I cannot imagine being where I am today without her support and guidance.
Thank you, Monica, for your amazing work and support!

I've attempted therapy a couple of times in my life, each time I felt judged and didn't leave having learned anything or feeling better. Monica never makes me feel judged, often imparts a piece of knowledge or leads me to a great realization and helps me feel better.

Monica Hoyer is hands down the best therapist I’ve actually ever had. I’ve had many therapists & she really commits each session to listen and help me. She checks in and treats you like you’re a priority and it makes me feel like I actually matter instead of just venting to a friend and then going however long with whatever I’m feeling. I feel like there’s a sense of control with my issues and I’m finally becoming who I want to be.

Monica is incredible. I came to her at a very low point in my life, feeling like I was in a hole I would never climb out of. Through many months and phone calls, messages, and voice sessions, I can tell you that I'm on the other end of this, having learned coping skills and ways to manage my anxiety. I can see the world as beautiful again, and I did so without the need for medication. She has helped me grow so much as a person and has made SUCH a positive impact in my life. I give my absolute highest regards to her.
