Hello there!
My name is Monica Gutierrez and I am so glad you are here! I commend you for taking this first step, and for letting me be apart of your journey. Life can be challenging, and I am here to walk through challenges with you.
As a social worker, I have had the opportunity to work with a wide range of populations in both an outpatient and school setting. In doing so, I have found my passion in working with individuals to process thoughts, feelings, and experiences in healthy and effective ways.
I provide therapy to children, adolescents, and young adults (ages 5-30), with my specialty being adolescents. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and Solution-Focused Therapy into my practice to treat anxiety and depression, address relationship challenges and behavioral concerns, and strengthen emotional regulation skills. With a strong commitment to understanding your personal needs and experiences, I aim to create a safe, empathetic space where you can openly explore your feelings and develop the skills to effectively and healthily navigate life’s challenges.
My goal is to empower you through the utilization of practical tools and insights, fostering resilience, self-awareness, and long-term growth.
