Teletherapy for Spokane County, WA

Thank you for taking the time to read my bio and inform yourself about how I might be of help to you. I believe deeply that life is meant to be lived rather than survived. However, it is not that uncommon for the collective experiences and traumas of life to push us into a way of functioning that can begin to feel more like survival. Despite our best efforts we can begin to feel discouraged, anxious, depressed and exhausted. These feelings can lead to choices and behaviors that are destructive to ourselves and those we love.

If you are struggling with depression, anxiety, domestic violence, dual diagnosis, or going through some significant life changes. In that case, I am here to help you. I can assist you in developing coping skills, practicing mindfulness, and utilizing tools to manage your mental health effectively. Having worked successfully with teens and young adults in various settings for over 13 years, I believe healing occurs within the therapeutic relationship. I aim to work with clients who are willing to help themselves and are open to the therapeutic process.

My name is Anna Monica. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate. I have a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Capella University. I graduated distinguished. I am a bilingual clinician with a collaborative, compassionate, and empathetic approach. My treatment modality and therapeutic orientations are client-centered using a multi-modal therapy approach which includes CBT, DBT, and Holistic. Using a multi-modal approach, I guide clients in identifying their strengths and using them to Live Life to their potential.

I am a licensed mental health counselor, and have enjoyed doing this work for 21 years. I am extensively trained in object relations, attachment, Circle of Security, and EMDR. I value each person I see as an individual with unique history, needs, and approach to life. I don't feel that it is ever my job to tell you what to do in your life. It is my job to help you discover what is blocking you from living life the way you want to live it, and then help you to clear those blocks out of the way.

Are you emotionally exhausted? Do you find yourself caught in repeating patterns of conflict, anger, and resentment? Are you completely unsure if you and your partner are even capable of understanding each other? Do you feel defeated by feelings of disconnection and emotional tension without the tools to move toward real change? As a relational therapist, I help individuals, couples, and families like you better understand your patterns of conflict, learn ways to hear and be heard, and find effective tools and strategies to manage your relationships. I would love to help you rediscover the joy in your relationships.

Welcome. Navigating the challenges of today's world can be hard to do alone. This journey can feel even more difficult when we are dealing with negative feelings and stressful events. I believe therapy is more than a place to talk about our feelings and experiences. Therapy should provide a warm and welcoming safe environment. It should be free of judgments and offer you the space to form a trusting and respectful therapeutic relationship on your own terms. As a therapist, I strive to provide transparency and compassion in a setting that is never rushed and always client lead, via Telehealth.

Do you find yourself filled with anxiety, overwhelmed with stress, and unsure how to move forward? Do you need help organizing your thoughts, addressing a substance abuse addiction, learning new strategies to avoid self-harm or addressing a chronic auto-immune disorder? If you find yourself unexpectedly facing challenges with your mental health, I would love to help you utilize your strengths to reach your dreams! Professionally, I have had the honor of working with children and families for over 20 years with topics such as gang involvement, addictions, domestic conflicts, self harm and mental health disorders.

Therapy is a place where you can come as you are, process life's challenges, relationship struggles, seasons of doubt, feeling stuck or sad, anger, or maybe even ambivalence. In this space we can walk together through past trauma, areas of hurt or betrayal, and life transitions to pursue healing, restoration, and authenticity. Together we can notice attachment wounds and past events that may be continuing to shape your narrative and work toward interpersonal, inner growth and acceptance. Healing takes work and having support as you wade through those deep waters allows us to face fear and pain with bravery and create resilience.

"What's wrong with me?" is often the burning question our clients ask when entering our counseling office. Often times we're not the first office in which they have tried to answer this question. Revive Counseling Spokane's counselors will instead ask, "What has happened to you?" It can be difficult to piece together the impact of shame, betrayal, neglect and abuse from our past, but our counselors know how to guide you through the healing process to restore your sense of peace, control and vitality. Trained by the EMDR Institute, we will help you get past your past.

With so many choices, how do you choose the right therapist for you? You need someone with not only the professional skills to help you, but a style that fits who you are. I bring both my strengths as a therapist as well as a lifetime of personal and professional experience in different realms. I leverage my real-world background together with my marriage and family therapy expertise to help you understand and address your real-world issues in a practical way that focuses on results.

Do you struggle with sticky negative thoughts or feelings that are too hard to manage alone? Do you want to explore the idea of change in your life? The space we create together in therapy is a safe and accepting place for you to be vulnerable without shame or judgment. Facing our own inner struggles, historical traumas, or interpersonal problems can feel challenging, but as your counselor, I will work collaboratively with you to foster strong empowerment, healthy growth, and positive change.

In the beginning was the word. Thoughts are words in our head. Those words are what we talk about. What we talk about finds support. These words, given support, is literally how we create our lives. In childhood, our primary lesson was to learn how to care for ourselves in adulthood. Many of the adults around us didn’t know how to care for themselves. Some were absent, some were medicated, some seemed aloof and caught up in their own troubles. And for some of us, the adults were abusive.

It takes courage to ask for help, and I am here to help you create the life you want. My goal is to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where you can speak freely and be yourself. I am LGBTQ+ friendly and welcome all relationship types so please come as you are.

With unconditional acceptance and positive regard, I welcome my clients into a judgement-free and safe space. Whether you're dealing with anger, anxiety, a death, depression, discrimination, life stressors, parenting challenges, relationship problems, or trauma, hope and healing is possible and within reach.

Welcome to my practice! I provide counseling for adults, youths (13+ years), and couples experiencing challenges such as depression, anxiety, decision-making skills, adjustment, intimacy, abuse, coping with medical conditions, and post-traumatic stress.

I enjoy helping people navigate challenging periods of their lives by helping them 1) recognize barriers to a healthy and encouraging life experience, and 2) identify skills, tools, and resources needed to achieve a healthy & encouraging life experience.

Do you feel that life has gotten so much harder the past few years? Is it difficult for you to slow down and relax? Do you constantly feel pressured to try harder or be perfect? Does your brain constantly replay the most difficult moments of your life?
