Monica Velasquez
Hello, I am a bilingual, Spanish speaking, licensed clinical social worker with over 7 years of experience working with individuals impacted by abuse, trauma, anxiety, and life stressors. Trauma can significantly impact daily life, affecting relationships, emotional well-being, and the ability to cope with everyday challenges. By creating a safe, supportive environment, I help individuals heal and overcome challenges. I use a trauma-informed, client-centered approach where trust is key. Healing begins when you feel understood and safe. In our initial sessions, we’ll get to know each other and explore your therapy goals. I’m dedicated to learning about your experiences, strengths, and passions, and supporting you in reaching your goals.
My goal is to help you reclaim your strength and achieve healing, as I am deeply passionate about helping individuals and families overcome challenges and thrive. Book with me now by clicking on my website link for a free 15 minute phone call.
