Monica A. Wood

I attended the University of Southern California. I utilize a variety of therapeutic approaches such as Eye-Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) and more. Some treatment goals can include addressing negative thoughts, feelings and behaviors, incorporation of guided meditation, mindfulness, and self-care to address depression and anxiety symptoms. As a military veteran, I developed an interest in Mental Health wellness, and a particular fascination in the Trauma/PTSD specialty. Today, my passion is to help others overcome the effects of their childhood trauma, or trauma as an adult and live a much happier and fulfilling life. You are about to embark on a life changing journey. Know you are exactly where you need to be! I'm glad you found me and are at a point in your life where you are ready to challenge yourself. You deserve this. With my support, you will leave our sessions feelings understood and acknowledged, and with your permission, I will challenge you to address old behaviors. Practicing the skills you will learn via our sessions will be recommended, including journaling, meditation, self-care and additional resources and supportive tools will be provided. Trauma healing requires work, resilience, and consistency, and finding a therapist you feel safe with is essential to the success of your therapy goals.
