You want things to be different. You want to, once and for all, conquer those self-defeating or self-sabotaging behaviors. You want to break out of those relationship ruts. You want to be able to cope with this crisis better. You want to feel better about yourself and feel comfortable in your own skin. You want to feel... happy. And something keeps getting in your way. Coming to the conclusion that you need help outside of what your friends or family can provide is difficult enough. Searching for the right kind of help can be equally challenging.

Life, stress, and pressures around us can make it hard to connect with others, make healthy decisions, and lead a meaningful and authentic life. Maybe you're experiencing new transitions that are difficult to navigate. Maybe you're shutting others out or coping in ways that appear to be unhealthy or your happiness and confidence have turned into anger, sadness, isolation & self-doubt. Therapy might be just the space you need to help gain clarity and confidence. Though starting therapy may cause ambivalence, fear, nervousness and more, our work together will help you identify strategies to improve your quality of life.

I am a Sex Therapist and LCPC providing psychotherapy services to adults. I believe that all individuals have the power to create change in their lives. I work with people to build insight, explore their lived experiences and understand how these experiences intersect to inform thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Through this process, I assist clients in identifying patterns in their life that may no longer be serving them. My therapeutic approach is grounded in an integrative application of Psychodynamic and Existential Therapy. I have received advanced training in Sex Therapy from the University of Michigan.

Feeling trapped in repetitive cycles or struggling with anxiety and/or depression? I understand how challenging it can be to navigate complex emotions and thoughts. Exploring the past and present can stir up a storm of feelings that deeply affect our well-being, which can be overwhelming and disheartening. In these moments, having a safe and supportive space is essential for processing emotions and experiences and rewiring the nervous system.

I specialize in providing relationally focused therapy to individuals, couples, children, and families from diverse backgrounds and identities. As a bilingual clinician with Ecuadorian and Colombian heritage, I am particularly committed to serving BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and migrant communities who may face unique challenges in understanding and accessing mental health resources. By working alongside clients, my goal is to help break down societal beliefs surrounding therapy and identify a better understanding of yourself, and/or your family that is holistically informed by identity, culture, and past experiences.

As a bicultural and bilingual (English & Spanish) therapist part of my practice involves examining the cultural and social factors affecting individuals. I recognize that therapy is not one size fits all, so I attempt to tailor my approach to help empower each client to make changes that align with their values and goals. I enjoy partnering with individuals who are interested in broadening their understanding of difficult emotions and experiences to find new ways to cope and regain a sense of stability.

Struggling does not mean you are failing. Falling down is part of the process, just like rising and growing. Struggling does not mean something is „wrong” with us. It may mean we have patterns to unlearn, new behaviors to embody, and wounds that need to heal, and that takes time. I respect your desire to want to be honest with yourself and seek change. I recognize that trust is a journey and does not always comes easy, therefore I strive to make it a foundation in how I practice. I work with my clients to help them visualize the life they want to have and help them put it into practice through a welcoming and empathic approach.

Hola! I am Monserrat Pulido, a Latina licensed clinical social worker at New Insights Behavioral Health Services. I am a skilled and bilingual therapist who has experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I recognize the stigma that can sometimes be associated with mental health services, especially within the Latinx community. What many don't know is that taking care of your mental health is as important as taking care of your physical health. It's okay to not be okay but it's also okay to ask for help. Whether this is your first time seeking therapy or not, I invite you to embark on this healing journey together.

Entering into therapy is an important process. With over 20 years of experience, I work with individuals and couples to help define and promote change in their lives. I provide a nurturing, collaborative environment to explore any challenges or barriers which may influence one's current well being. Each person is unique and I work with clients to explore and establish goals that can enhance their interpersonal relationships and support healthy emotional functioning.

If you're here maybe a small part of you believes change is possible, if that part isn't there, I'll believe until you can. I provide a compassionate and caring space where you feel seen and heard, so that we can uncover your strengths, dreams, and learn how to navigate through the complexities of society, your experiences, and your feelings. My hope is to create a space of exploration and collaboration, where you can feel empowered, laugh, be vulnerable, and grow. I enjoy working with clients of all identities, including: LBGTQIA+ individuals, trans/non-binary and gender explorative folks, BIPOC and mixed-raced people.

Painful past experiences and current life stressors can equally challenge our sense of self and our connections with others. Often without realizing it, we can continue to operate from old patterns long after they have stopped serving us.
