Monica Rose Males

Monica is deeply inspired by the nuances of the human experience, and this passion guides her impactful work as a psychotherapist. With over eight years of experience working alongside individuals, groups, couples, and families, she offers a tender-hearted, human-first approach, creating a safe and empathetic container for clients as they navigate life’s most formidable challenges. Monica believes her role is to walk beside clients as they rediscover the strengths they already possess, always honoring them as the experts of their own lives.

Monica’s journey in psychotherapy began with a psychodynamic lens, exploring how formative experiences shape clients’ worldviews. She continues to recognize the importance of intersectionality in understanding her clients holistically, taking into account how various identities — race, gender, sexuality, culture, neurodivergence included — affect their lives and well-being. Her approach also addresses the impact of broader systems, such as family dynamics and societal pressures, on her clients' growth and healing.

With extensive experience in diverse clinical settings, including residential and outpatient care, Monica has worked with a wide range of clients and presenting problems. She has supported individuals from varied backgrounds, including BIPOC/PGM, LGBTQIA2-S+, neurodivergent individuals, veterans, and adolescents, and takes particular pride in creating a supportive space for those who have felt unseen or misunderstood. Using her compassionate presence and intuition, Monica builds trust and fosters meaningful transformation.
