As a Marriage & Family Therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life.

The Creative Wellness Institute provides talk therapy, art therapy, coaching services, art programming, training and workshops. The Creative Wellness Institute was founded on the principle that human beings are innately creative. Therefore, we need a creative approach to understanding our inner world in order to live our best life possible. By using our capacity for creative expression as a means for understanding ourselves and the world around us we can evolve into the highest versions of ourselves and live a happy and fulfilling life.

Today's world demands so much of us. The pressures to be everything, do everything, for everyone can cause stress, anxiety, and depression. We are human. And even the best of humans need support from time to time to bounce back from the challenges of life and live powerfully. It is time that you had a consistent partnership that focuses on your healing, growth, and emotional resilience.

In my private practice, I treat issues of anxiety and panic, past trauma, and sexual dysfunction. While our past can sometimes weigh down our present, my clients and I work together to address, process, and move through issues that might hold them back. Identifying emotions, connecting them to the body, and developing resources to endure the more difficult experiences of life is a primary focus of our collaborative work.

Telehealth (Video Chat) available. I offer support and guidance to my clients as they grow and discover new ways of being. I meet you with a Client-Centered Approach that puts your needs and goals first. I do not see people as broken, like a machine, but as organically growing and adapting to our environment. Drawing from Mindfulness, Neuroscience, and Art Therapy, I have an abundance of tools to assist you in coping, adjusting, and changing your situation. I am very focused on being of service and supporting you in finding your state of wellbeing that persists no matter the circumstances of your life. For more see: MonicaMayall.com

It's been a struggle recently. You are feeling stretched thin. You think of yourself as a kind, caring and giving person. Although you've tried to keep it together, your feelings of stress, tiredness and frustration are leaking out. What's worse is that this especially shows up in your interactions with the people who are closest to you. You're wondering how you got here and if you are even the person you thought you were. You are feeling disconnected from yourself and others, tired and raw.

***NOW ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS*** "Change is to give up what we are... to become what we could be.” - Anonymous. I believe that change and healing are possible for everyone, and that happiness comes from awareness and gratitude.

Are you a spiritual person wanting psychotherapy that addresses all of who you are? Are you looking for healing painful past issues that keep surfacing? Do you suffer from childhood traumas that have been difficult to heal? Do you want to have better relationships, more meaningful work? Do you want a deeper spiritual life? I would be honored to be of service! I love working with clients that want an integrated psychotherapy that deals with mind, body, and spirit. APPLYING LOVING TO THE PLACES INSIDE THAT HURT LEADS TO HEALING!

I really enjoy helping people who are entering counseling for the first time because I get to show them what a safe place it can be to receive personal support during challenging times. Counseling isn't meant to be "forever" -- but it can be a powerful, transitional tool to help you when breakthrough feels elusive and you feel like you've tried everything. It can be just the boost you need to get going again on your journey!

I believe everyone has the capacity to achieve their goals and become their authentic self. My approach to therapy involves empowering individuals to better understand themselves and tap into inner resources needed to heal and make desired life changes. I focus on helping you develop a deeper exploration of who you are and help you understand obstacles and trauma getting in the way of you achieving what you desire in life. We cannot change the past, but together we can work together to create a better future. Therapy is difficult self -work, but I will work alongside you to create the space to promote healing and empower you.

My clients are sophisticated, insightful, and curious about themselves and others. Yet they may have found themselves feeling chronically depressed, anxious, or lost in life, and they might struggle with long-term patterns in their lives and relationships that they just can’t seem to change. Perhaps they have struggled with trauma or other experiences, thoughts, and feelings they fear nobody would understand. I enjoy working with people who desire not just new insights into their mind, but also a new way of experiencing themselves and others.

I believe that all individuals are their own best experts. Acting as a co-detective and working alongside clients to connect them with the person they want to be has proven to be both effective and inspirational. From anxiety and depression to parenting issues to PTSD, the ability to connect and provide a safe productive place to explore, reflect and dig deep has served my diverse clientele well. I am honored to be let into my clients' worlds and feel lucky to join forces and help forge a path to healing, re-awakening and transformation.

Intimate relationships could be difficult to maintain and understand. Sometimes we are left confused and hurt by the behaviors and words of others. Our responses to these unfortunate behaviors might create a negative reaction which could worsen the feelings of despair. Having a personal psychotherapist with whom to explore some of these problems could be very rewarding and healing. Finding assertive ways to express our emotions using a win/win approach might assist in the healing of those injuries. Anxiety, depression and interpersonal conflict could be minimized or eliminated with the appropriate interventions.

I specialize in culturally sensitive solution-focused help and clinical therapy for adults and teenagers, ages 17 and up. As a psychologist, I am devoted to improving quality of life and relationships, as well as symptoms. My approach to therapy is interpersonal, integrative and evidence-based, adapted for unique needs and values.

*NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS - 10/2020* Your wellbeing begins with your awareness. You may have noticed painful patterns in your life, which could include: harsh beliefs about yourself and others, difficult feelings that contribute to your struggles, or actions that run counter to your hopes, dreams, and goals. But where there is darkness, there is also light! Awareness increases your ability to create internal conditions that are no longer fertile ground for fear, anger, resentment, anxiety, or hopelessness. Awareness can increase your capacity to trust your own wisdom/instinct and help you in developing self-compassion.

My goal is to help you work through disempowering feelings (such as worry, low self-esteem, lack of motivation, etc.) in order to feel more alive and engaged in your future. To do this, we will look at your current circumstances and relationships to see how self-defeating patterns got started and may be keeping you from living your life to the fullest. I practice active, empathetic listening and non-judgmental regard so that a similar self-loving sensibility can grow in you, helping you confront the challenges you face and allow for more enjoyment and meaning in your life.
