Everyone has times in their lives when they feel confused, conflicted, overwhelmed, or just plain stuck. Finding the right person to help you sort through it can feel overwhelming too—which is thankfully where I come in.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience working with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, pre- and postpartum challenges, relationship issues, self-esteem, and major life transitions. Over the years, my practice has evolved to focus primarily on adults who want to better understand what is getting in the way of their happiness, relationships, success, or overall well-being.

I’m warm, open-minded, down-to-earth, and believe humor absolutely has a place in therapy. I’m also serious about boundaries and helping people find their voice. You don’t have to become a different person to feel better. Often, our work is about understanding yourself more clearly, recognizing what is no longer working for you, and becoming more comfortable making choices based on what you actually need—not just what keeps everyone else happy.

As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe mental health ties to many different aspects of our lives. Many people find it difficult to ask for help and I can see the difference when people make that first step. My goal is that people do not struggle alone and I am here to help. I work with adults of all ages but really enjoy working with couples and women who experience anxiety, depression, or PTSD.

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


I am a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in helping adults break free from long-standing emotional and relational patterns that keep them stuck in anxiety, disconnection, or self-doubt. My work is grounded in the belief that healing happens not just through insight, but through learning how to feel safe, regulated, and connected both within yourself and in relationship with others.

I earned My Master’s degree in Social Work and is clinically trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS – Level 1), EMDR, Brainspotting, Somatic-Based Practices, Ketamine Assisted Therapy, Psychedelics Integration, and Narrative Therapy. I integrate trauma-informed, nervous-system-focused approaches to help clients move beyond coping and into meaningful, embodied change. My style is collaborative, compassionate, and direct, supporting clients in developing self-trust while gently challenging patterns that no longer serve them.

Before becoming a therapist, I worked extensively in the health and wellness field, including roles in movement, bodywork, and mind-body practices. This background strongly informs my holistic approach to therapy and understanding of how emotional experiences are stored and expressed in the body. I pay close attention to how stress, trauma, and attachment wounds show up not just in thoughts, but in physical sensations, behaviors, and relationship dynamics.

In therapy, I help clients build emotional resilience, strengthen communication skills, and develop the capacity to stay grounded during uncomfortable or vulnerable moments. My goal is not to “fix” clients, but to help them understand themselves more deeply, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and create relationships and lives that feel aligned, fulfilling, and sustainable.

Monica Jalbert

Therapist

Virtual • Massachusetts


Hello and welcome! I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and have been a practicing psychotherapist for over 13 years. I believe therapy works best when it feels like a genuine partnership. My role isn’t to sit back and tell you what you “should” do. It’s to get curious with you—to understand where you are, where you want to be, and what might be getting in the way. My role is to serve as supportive witness to your journey, and to help navigate with you whatever terrain your journey presents.

I hold a Master’s degree in Social Work from Boston University and have spent my career supporting women, men, and gender fluid people through the complicated, messy, and often beautifully transformative parts of life.

My style is warm, conversational, thoughtful, and sometimes a little playful. I want you to feel comfortable being completely yourself with me—including the parts you may not feel particularly proud of or understand yet.

Think of me less as an imposing expert sitting across from you and more as a knowledgeable, support in your corner, someone who will listen without judgment, help you make sense of what you're experiencing, celebrate your progress, and—when it’s helpful—gently challenge you to look at things from a different perspective.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Springfield

Searching for therapists in Springfield starts with knowing what kind of support you want from therapy. People look for therapy for many reasons, including anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, and major life transitions. As you compare Springfield therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties and training match your needs. Their bio can also help you understand their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or another style that fits what you want to work on.

Springfield is a smaller market, so the right therapist may be nearby, in a surrounding area like West Springfield, or available for virtual sessions across Massachusetts. Some people prefer an office setting, while others choose virtual appointments because they fit more easily into work, school, or family schedules. Beyond specialty, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session format, and what to expect from the first visit.

Therapy in Springfield can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care more affordable. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, are accepting new patients, and offer upfront cost estimates before you book. You can browse therapists in Springfield, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
