Therapists in Monrovia, CA

It is my belief that having someone to talk to who has an objective perspective, listens well, and can be a partner toward personal growth is something that all people can benefit from. I work with individuals, couples, families, and children. My approach is person centered and I specialize in EMDR Therapy, working with grief, depression, anxiety, and trauma. My hope is that together we will explore the many areas of life in a safe, trusting, and helpful environment. My work with clients focuses on creating a sense of autonomy and freedom by creating movement toward one’s goals. I am supervised by Mary M. Read, Ph. D., LMFT 25112

Life can feel very overwhelming, so I’m glad you are here seeking support! We all have strengths and inner resources, but sometimes our ability to access them is clouded. Sometimes we believe an old, limiting story about who we are or how we are supposed to be. Sometimes we just feel stuck. Life can feel more difficult than expected - relationships can suffer, and connection can feel elusive. I have the life experience and clinical training to help. In therapy, we will shift the focus toward creating your preferred story, allowing your authentic self to emerge.

As a therapist I have witnessed healing and its splendor in the darkest of circumstances and am honored when individuals choose to embark on this journey with me. I know the decision to enter therapy is not always easy. Therapy is not easy. But therapy heals. When you enter therapy you put forth a willingness to acknowledge painful emotions and circumstances and a readiness to explore life events that are often uncomfortable, sometimes even paralyzing. But the insight and meaning you will gain from therapy will lead to transformation, comfort and growth.

Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, loneliness, stress, guilt, grief, disappointment, sadness, displaced anger, intimacy issues, trouble with communication, disconnection in your relationships, being overwhelmed, or just a feeling of being stuck? Do you wonder if life could feel better? Now more than ever people are feeling uncertain about the future and wonder how to connect to others so they don't feel lonely and isolated. Not addressing these worries lead to more disconnect, sadness and feelings of aloneness. Talking to a therapist can help you start to feel better and not have to deal with these issues on your own.

Anxiety, trauma, shame, depression, grief, a lack of meaning in life - these are some of the issues that I strive to help people work through. My goal is to create a safe container in which you can explore your emotions and relationship issues without judgment. I am deeply committed to supporting you on your journey toward self-awareness, healing, and growth. I work with adults, couples and teens from diverse backgrounds, including the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities and collaborate with clients to tailor our sessions to the unique needs of each individual.

The symptoms we feel are messages that something needs our attention. I will support you in uncovering what is below the surface of your struggles. I specialize in helping to understand and manage issues around relationship challenges, life transitions, anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, self-esteem, grief, loss, creative blocks and more. We will explore and make sense of your feelings, identify recurring patterns, and process what comes up for you. I aim to help you make space for self-compassion and broaden your awareness. In turn you will generate more resilience, confidence, growth, and a deeper sense of peace in your life.

I work with adults (individually and as couples) and with teens (individually or in family sessions with parents). I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and offer bilingual services to Spanish speaking clientele. With over ten years of experience, I have worked with clients of all ages, and am confident in the power of therapy to foster insight and emotional healing. My goal is to honor each person's unique story while respecting the range of cultural experiences that shape us. I I would be honored to join you in moving toward positive change.

Hello, my name is Melissa Lehrich, Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

Every person has their own unique process of healing and growth. Psychotherapy is a valuable pathway toward finding balance and wholeness in your life. As your therapist, I approach my work with profound respect for your individual nature, values, and beliefs. Psychotherapy is essentially a collaborative process in which we work together to explore the difficulties you're facing and find solutions that will work for you. Real possibilities for meaningful change can emerge when the essence of your 'self' is genuinely understood. My goal is to support your journey as you move towards a more fulfilling and authentic life.

All of us struggle at different times in our lives. We may feel stuck in our current state or situation and wonder if this is how life has to be. Whether you are facing a conflict that seems unsolvable, are searching for more meaning in life, or want to heal past wounds to feel a deeper sense of peace, making the decision to seek help takes courage. My belief is that we all have the power to limit the chaos of our mind through developing a strong and loving connection to ourselves.

It’s natural to feel lost sometimes. When you are overwhelmed, isolated, fearful, or disconnected, having a space to express yourself genuinely with a witness is medicinal. Reaching out for help can be hard and I appreciate everything it has taken for you to get here. Finding a trusted ally is an important step in receiving the help that you need to live as you truly are, wholeheartedly. I believe in the healing properties of the therapeutic relationship and it is my honor to be a companion along my clients’ journeys.

When we change ourselves we create change in our life and relationships. Therapy is a journey of self discovery to develop intimacy and create meaning in life and relationships. Gain new understanding and fulfillment. Through exploration of your past and present I will help you develop nurturing relationships with others and with your empathetic genuine self; connect with playfulness and creativity; understand repetition in your life; discover the unconscious role in your decisions ; experience intimacy and alleviate depression and anxiety as we transform suffering into growth.
