Monica is one of the most genuine therapists I've ever had! She is so patient, supportive, and really seems to listen and care when I discuss what's going on or ramble. I am extremely grateful to have Monica as a therapist because she made me realize that my feelings and experiences are valid, which I had not believed before.

I was reluctant to start therapy again and wasn't sure that virtual therapy was the right choice for me. Betterhelp gave me a chance to try and find the right therapist for me and to give therapy a try on my terms and within my budget. I got so lucky in finding Monica. She is the perfect fit and simply gets me and my challenges. She helps me while in my session and when I have moments where I just need to be heard. I am looking forward to doing even more work with Monica helping me along the way.
