I work with individuals and couples. I am drawn to those who seek treatment due to shifts in identity, emerging adulthood, and the challenges that come with the inevitable changes in our lives. I particularly enjoy and have experience working with the LGBTO+, trans and non-binary community. Topics in this area could include patients seeking support around gender identity, sexuality, transition-related experiences, family and relationship concerns, and minority stress. I work with patients who may be feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, uncertain, stuck in old patterns, or unsure how to move through a period of change.

Therapist

To listen to another person's story and be a part of the process of their progress is my mission. I have always been curious about human interactions and the story that someone tells. As a psychotherapist, I see that working with the human psyche in the Western world can present challenges. A place where "wellness" is fostered with approaches that seek to eliminate undesired behaviors and thought patterns. Instead I work in a way that welcomes all aspects of you and and your personality. I bring a compassionate and curious approach to facilitating your journey toward understanding yourself more deeply and moving toward change.

---“Beginnings can be scary, endings can be sad, but it’s the middle that counts. We just need to remember that when we find ourselves at the beginning, just give hope a chance to float up” (Sandra Bullock, Hope Floats)


Does it feel like you’ve been going through life in “survival mode?” Are you asking yourself “what is my purpose in life?” Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed by fear when considering a change in your life? Are you trying to navigate a transition in your life--job, relocation, relationships, chronic illness/disability etc? Let’s face it, life doesn’t always work out the way we plan and can make us feel all kinds of different emotions. It’s ok to not feel ok all the time. We all go through challenging times in our lives. We don’t have to have a mental health disorder to seek a professional. We may need to seek out someone who can provide a guiding hand, and an objective ear to listen, to help you discover your own underlying strengths, and to provide you with answers to your questions and help you along your journey. I can help you learn to listen to your body, quiet your mind, and follow your heart to find peace within your soul.


My name is Monica Whalen and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 20 years post-graduate experience. I have worked with individuals of all ages and specialize in working with older teens and adults to help guide them on their path to shape their future. It would be my pleasure to work with you on your journey to rediscovering your true self.

It isn’t easy to find the courage to ask for help. If you are reading this, I commend you for getting this far. When you enter my office, you are greeted with warmth and authenticity. I will work hard to provide a safe environment for you to explore and express yourself openly. I use a multi-faceted therapeutic approach with all of my clients as we all come with unique strengths and needs. If you are looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you are just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals
