Gratefully practicing at New Insights Behavioral Health Services. When people experience trauma or life stressors, it is not uncommon to become overwhelmed with emotions. My passion is to hold space and help facilitate healing in those who are feeling lost, lonely, or needing support. I collaborate with my adult clients to find healthy perceptions of themselves, explore their culture and intersectionality, and find liberation from their trauma by exploring their experiences with gentle curiosity. We will work together to gain skills, recognize core beliefs, reflect on life experiences as early as childhood, and reach goals.

Waitlist for new clients
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.

Most clients come into therapy because of their current difficulty resolving a "presenting problem". That problem could be grief. It could be relationship troubles with partners, peers, or parents. It could be tied to substance abuse. Or trauma. Or both. It could be work-related. It could be a million things. Whatever the presenting problem, it tends to give the client physiological and psychological discomfort, which leads to the search for answers and relief, which often leads to counseling.

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.

The therapeutic environment offers a unique opportunity to share, confront, and enhance parts of ourselves while exploring and discovering deeper traits and skills that we may possess. As a therapist, I believe in empowering the individual through therapeutic experiences that foster a lasting change outside of the therapy setting. I cherish the opportunity to engage in this relationship and commit myself to doing the work with you and supporting your exploration. I value modeling transparency, care, boundaries, and healthy support systems. I believe that challenging dialogue in a safe environment leads to internal growth.

The election results are in. Some people feel numb, checked out. Others are feeling anxious and fearful. Some hopeless, depressed. Maybe you are BIPOC, an abuse survivor, identify as LGBTQIA+, and/or are someone who has experienced infertility (just to name a few), and these results feel extremely personal. My goal is to create a safe relationship where we can explore how your social identities and family context have shaped how you experience the world, as well as how your past impacts your present. This exploration equips us as we process your experience of the election as well as other difficulties you may be facing in your life.
