Relationship Issues Therapists in Bloomington, IL

Hi there, I'm Stacey Monroe, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of clinical experience. Over the years, I've worked with diverse populations in multiple settings, including medical social work, Employee Assistance Program (EAP), community mental health, homeless services, and private practice. As a unique individual, you deserve an approach that is tailored to your needs. While I take an eclectic approach to therapy, I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you develop tools for success.

We all are subject to stresses in life that can include loss and grief, mood-related concerns, life transitions, chronic illness, aging issues, relationship issues and other obstacles that interfere with our ability to lead happy and productive lives. I truly enjoy working with individuals to find solutions for personal concerns in their lives. I believe in a strengths focused, problem solving approach and supporting my clients' values as they work through their challenges. I focus on establishing a solid, supportive relationship with my clients.

It is easy to become sidetracked from the things we value most by the busyness of life. Has your relationship with your spouse lost its spark? Are you angry with little hope for a positive future? Do you feel defeated when trying to interact with your teen/child with everyday battles? If you are a person of faith and long to be your best, I can help! As a Christian Licensed Therapist, I have helped hundreds of families work through personal & relational conflict and challenging circumstances.

I believe the therapeutic relationship is the most important part of successful therapy. I view our relationship as collaborative. You will always be the expert on you while I bring my background, training, and 20+ years of experience to help you approach life in a different way.

(Email is the best way to reach me) :) People enter therapy for various reasons, from anxiety, stress or depression to trauma. Others are curious to discover more about themselves to improve their relationships and inner self. Whatever your circumstance is, therapy can be the first step in an empowering journey. One way to alleviate common and uncomfortable emotions is by identifying the root cause and processing events using evidence-based modalities, such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and/or Brainspotting.

Accepting new clients! Feeling stuck, trapped, alone, burned out, misunderstood, ashamed, want change, want to establish reconnection, or just need an unbiased ear? I invite you to give counseling a try! We can develop ways of being and doing that served a purpose for us for a season (often to help us feel safe/in control) that are no longer working for us now, causing dysfunction. We can form new ways of being and feel safer and more connected with ourselves, our surroundings, and others. I especially enjoy helping clients who are nervous about starting therapy for the first time or re-starting after a negative experience.

I specialize in anxiety and mood disorders, adjustment and trauma-related disorders, and teen/young adult issues. I also very much enjoy working with Young people navigating physical disability and chronic or temporary medical conditions, teens adjusting to life stressors such as parental separation/divorce, Teens with a parent navigating health challenges, and young adults navigating issues related to life after high school. I also very much enjoy working with people who work in the medical field and other helping professions.

You appear to have all your shit together on the outside, but you are a mess on the inside. You don't tell anyone how you really feel for fear of being judged. You are exhausted wearing the mask of the perfect imposter. You ask yourself, "Why is my best never good enough?" You want to believe God has a plan for you, but you're not even sure you believe in God anymore. I assure you, it is not just you. This real-time struggle is real. I know personally, there is hope. We all need the love of community to that hope. I look forward to hearing from you about ways I can help.

Taking new clients!... Life throws us surprises and leaves us navigating uncharted waters. In these situations you may struggle managing stress, experience anxiety, or grapple with life's difficult transitions. At some point you will experience relationship issues, unexpected loss, frightening diagnosis, daily work and family pressures. You need a space where you feel heard, supported, and safe.

My empathetic approach meets the individual where they are, to explore their concerns without shame, guilt, or judgment. Everyone faces challenges and difficult times in their life. The way we receive information from the people, places, and things in our environment is rooted in experience, belief systems, and our personality. We respond and interact with others based on our defined relationship with ourselves and our experiences. My goal is to create a safe environment, to cultivate an authentic relationship with yourself. We will work together to develop attainable treatment goals based on your needs and wants.

I consider myself an optimist and seek to find the best in the people I meet. I have an out-going nature. I love people and I love life and seek to help others find the same joy, even in bleak circumstances. I would like to note that I can be comfortable in most environments, working with most age groups and mental health conditions. I am a supporter and friend of the LGBTQ+ community, and I am a strong believer in the ideal that everyone should be treated equally with respect and dignity, especially when it comes to getting good mental health support and therapy when needed.

I work with adults who are looking for support in meeting the pressures and demands of their current circumstances, including stressors and challenges related to work, relationships, health, and more.

My therapeutic approach centers on the transformative power of connection – to oneself and to others. Whether working with couples navigating relationship challenges, individuals seeking healing and growth, or children developing emotional resilience, I support clients in fostering meaningful connections, and navigating life's deeper questions with clarity and purpose.
