Monica Ng (she/her/hers)

I have worked with racial minority individuals, including immigrants, international students, and refugees for many years. I understand it also from a very personal level. We learn and gain so much from this journey as we integrate the different parts of ourselves, which makes us the strong, unique individuals that we are.

I have worked with individuals from all different career and life paths, including stay-at-home parents to employees from Fortune 500 companies. When the balance between work/responsibilities and life is disrupted, we lose sight of the reason and purpose of what we do. My goal in therapy is to help you remember the "why" and to re-create that balance that is healthy for you so that you can sustain your continued path to success and satisfaction.

Anxiety is one of the most common presenting symptoms we see in today's society. My therapy utilizes CBT, Mindfulness and Solution-Focused approaches in addressing the issues. However, I also believe that often anxiety stems from "bottled-in" emotions/feelings that have no place to resolve or process. So in my sessions, we will also explore the deeper emotions that are behind the anxiety symptoms so that we can address the root causes.

I have been practicing CBT therapy for over 20+ years and utilize this evidence-based treatment especially with individuals struggling with anxiety and depression with effective results.

I believe in empowering my clients in taking actions in areas that are within their control, even when life feels overwhelming at times. The Solution-Focused Therapy helps my clients identify their strengths and becomes agents of change in the areas that are within their control.

I have been trained in ACT for many years and have used this approach with individuals who are going through changes and transformations in life where the letting go/acceptance and committing to new directions are essential steps to their healing.
