Jackson Monarca

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


My name is Jackson and I am a transgender man working as a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Connecticut. I specialize in working with the LGBT+ community and those with complex trauma. Other topics relevant to my experience include crisis/suicidality, HIV, homelessness, substance use/addiction, harm reduction, and neurodivergence.

I also offer consultation sessions for mental health letters of support for gender affirming care (hormone therapy, surgery, hair removal, etc). I use WPATH standards of care to assess your situation and will provide a letter of support and/or help you to create a plan for further support if we identify any concerns. Keep in mind different doctors/insurances/states have differing laws regarding these letters and I may need to do research prior to writing your letter to ensure we do so correctly.

Leslie Strekel

Therapist

Virtual • Old Lyme, CT


Raised to prioritize the needs of others above my own, deeply influenced by my mother’s own upbringing, I spent decades placing others’ needs ahead of my own as a buffer against my own fears. However, in 2021-2022, faced with one of the most challenging periods of my life, I underwent a transformation and began to find my path forward. I was led to realize that healing doesn't mean fixing oneself but rather rediscovering lost parts. For we are never broken, yet only stuck.
