My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and practical. I pull from cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) to help you understand patterns in your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, but I also lean into a humanistic style, meaning I see you as a whole person, not just a diagnosis or a set of symptoms.
I believe therapy should feel like a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up as you are. Whether we’re exploring your relationships, working through anxiety or depression, or identifying what really matters to you, my goal is to support your growth with curiosity, care, and clarity.
I also value realness, I’ll challenge you when it’s helpful, offer insight when you're stuck, and celebrate the progress you might overlook. You're the expert on your life; I’m here to help you reconnect with that truth and build the kind of change that lasts.
After graduating from New York University with a BFA in drama, I moved to Los Angeles and taught drama and English literature at an L.A. public high school for nearly 20 years. My experience working with teenagers and their families taught me that, all too often, kids' barriers to learning are not academic in nature, but rather emotional challenges stemming from adversity and trauma. I became more and more interested in learning how to help teenagers and adults alike navigate these obstacles and come out stronger in the long run. So, I went back to graduate school to pursue a new career as a therapist so that I could help in a different way. My training and experience has focused on treating anxiety disorders (including OCD), PTSD and Complex-PTSD, and also couples - helping them to navigate challenges and triggers so that they can reset and reconnect.

Hello and welcome! I am a Certified Sex Therapist and Psychotherapist working with individuals and couples who face obstacles with sexual health, intimacy, mood disorders, communication, disabilities and life stressors. Sexual health can be impacted by a variety of issues from anxiety, depression, mismatched libidos, lack of education and understanding, orientation, identity and society. My knowledge is quite diverse, as are the clients I work with. I use anecdotal stories to engage with and connect to my clients. I look forward to meeting you!
Hi there, I’m Natasha. I offer creative, attachment-informed, and neurodivergent-friendly therapy for children, teens, and young adults navigating life transitions, identity exploration, burnout, and relationship challenges.
I have extensive experience working in both residential and outpatient settings. My approach blends curiosity, warmth, and creativity, helping clients feel deeply seen while building tools to move toward meaningful change.
I especially enjoy supporting highly sensitive and creative individuals, neurodivergent clients, and those recovering from high-conflict work or relational environments. Together, we'll explore your story, nurture your strengths, and create space for healing and growth.
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY - PSYCHOANALYSIS
I invite you to say what you would never say in ordinary conversation. I specialize in anxiety, depression, difficult to describe dissatisfaction, work/career difficulties, low self-esteem, sexual problems, imposter syndrome, men's issues, creative blocks, sexual abuse, religious/cultic/satanic trauma and relationship issues.
As a licensed psychologist for 30 years, I am passionate about helping people struggling with life challenges find joy and stability.
As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I see the world through the lens of relationships. I treat adults dealing with anxiety, depression, relationships, perinatal mental health, childhood trauma, and religious wounds. I believe the work of therapy is in undoing aloneness. I became a therapist because I believe it’s in relationships we are injured and paradoxically, it must be through relationships that we heal.
I have an M.A. in Spiritual Psychology from the University of Santa Monica as well as an M.A. in Clinical Psychology from Antioch University. I work with individuals, couples, families, and children and am LGBTQ+ affirmative. One of my specialties is using EMDR for the treatment of trauma, anxiety and depression.
Hello and welcome!
As a licensed clinical social worker, I truly believe that mental health is the foundation for growth and healing. It takes courage and strength to take that first step and I want to celebrate you for making it!
I mainly work with adults in individual therapy, drawing from various modalities tailored to each person's unique needs and issues. I'm also certified in EMDR, which can be really helpful for processing difficult experiences.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Monrovia
Searching for therapists in Monrovia starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Therapists may help with concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, work stress, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience align with your needs. Profiles can also help you understand whether a therapist uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Monrovia, local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in larger nearby areas. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in California. Consider practical factors such as appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new clients, and whether their session format fits your schedule. Reading therapist bios before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Monrovia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, view estimated costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person appointments. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
