Monica Mikhaeil, LCPC

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

Meet Monica, a mental health therapist whose rich cross-cultural upbringing fuels her passion for creating an inclusive and culturally responsive space. As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, Monica brings a wealth of experience from diverse therapeutic contexts, supporting individuals and couples of various ages, backgrounds, and relationship styles. Her deep appreciation for the intricate interplay between mental health and the unique experiences of 1.5 and 2nd generation immigrants is central to her work.

Monica has supported clients through a wide range of life challenges, from trauma recovery to navigating anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. She also fosters an environment for self-discovery and personal growth.

Her expertise lies in understanding cross-cultural influences, and she approaches therapy with a holistic, culturally sensitive perspective. Monica tailors her approach by integrating various therapeutic modalities based on each client’s unique needs, including Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR).

“When we meet, expect a warm and inviting atmosphere. I’m genuinely interested in your experiences, and I’ll join you on this therapeutic journey with empathy and understanding. Together, we’ll explore your identities, lived experiences, and your own path toward personal growth.”
