Kathy Monroe
Therapist - MA, LPC
Hello, and way to go on taking the first step to seeking therapy! For most people, the first step can be the hardest as it brings to the surface potential fears and questions. You are in the right place. I have been in this field for over 20 years and with my professional, educational, personal and experiential background I have learned so much about how to walk beside those going through a difficult time. I love supporting and encouraging parents who have challenging children, processing and sitting with individuals who may be in a hard, transitional period of life, and helping couples navigate communication in a way that yields a deeper, more loving connection, just to name a few.
Counseling approach:
My approach to the therapeutic process is a direct and real, yet empathetic, understanding and safe one. It’s important to get to the root of the issue, rather than just sticking a band aid on it and settling for surviving. I strive to help you not just get back to living your life, but thriving in it. I would love to meet you where you are and help you get to the place you want to be!
