Monica Moya

My goal is to be a catalyst for change while respecting that growth happens differently for everyone. Together, we will work at a pace that feels attainable while helping you develop the confidence, tools, and insight needed to move forward. I primarily work with adults and provide a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental space where you can talk openly about what you're experiencing without feeling pressured to have everything figured out.

As a Peruvian-American woman, I recognize the important ways culture, identity, family, relationships, and life experiences can shape how we understand ourselves and the world around us. I bring cultural humility, 

curiosity, and respect to our work together and believe your individual experiences should be understood within the context of your life—not through assumptions about who you are or who you should be. You don't need to have the perfect words or a complete plan before beginning therapy. Sometimes knowing that you want something to be different is enough of a place to start.

My therapy style is:

• Warm

• Collaborative

• Strengths-based

• Practical

• Culturally responsive

• Nonjudgmental

• Client-centered

• Goal-oriented

• Supportive

I balance having space to talk and process what you're experiencing with developing practical strategies that can help you outside of therapy. Some sessions may involve exploring difficult thoughts, emotions, experiences, or patterns. Others may focus more heavily on problem-solving, coping strategies, decision-making, or identifying your next steps. We'll determine together what is most useful for you.

Areas of Focus

I support clients experiencing concerns such as:

• Anxiety 

• Depression 

• Grief and loss 

• Stress 

• Life transitions 

• Adjustment difficulties 

• Feeling overwhelmed 

• Feeling stuck 

• Difficult thoughts and emotions 

• Coping difficulties 

• Self-esteem concerns 

• Personal growth 

• Decision-making difficulties 

• High-stress life circumstances

What Can Therapy Help Me Accomplish?

Depending on your individual needs and goals, therapy may help you:

• Better understand your thoughts and emotions 

• Manage anxiety and depression 

• Navigate grief and loss 

• Develop healthier coping strategies 

• Manage stress and feeling overwhelmed 

• Adjust to major life changes 

• Recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck 

• Strengthen self-esteem 

• Improve decision-making 

• Recognize and build upon your strengths 

• Increase self-awareness 

• Clarify what's important to you

The goal isn't for someone else to decide what your life should look like. It's to help you develop greater clarity, recognize your strengths, and make changes that feel meaningful and sustainable to you.
