My entire adult life I have worked with children and their families as a professional teacher and now a therapist. I easily relate to all ages - children, adolescents, teens, and adults. I understand how important working with families and schools can be for the mental health of the child. As a teacher for over 20 years, I understand burnout, the inner-workings of schools, and the importance of the personnels' mental health and self care. Plus, over 16 years experience with child-rearing, elderly parental care, end of life choices, adult social services, and grief and bereavement therapies for children and adults.

Imagine living your best life! We all face challenges and difficulties in life. For some it is trauma, others experience chronic health issues, not to mention day-to-day stressors of society's unrealistic demands and expectations. No one goes through life without experiencing the struggle. Our time together is spent exploring what is in the gap between where you are and where you desire and hope to be. Our time together is spent exploring what is in the gap between where you are and where you desire and hope to be.

This journey through life can be very challenging. At times we need help navigating the path. I am here to help you. While I am trained in a variety of treatment modalities, the counseling approach I use with a given client is determined by that client's preferences and personal goals, as well as the nature of the issue being addressed. All approaches used will incorporate a strengths-based, client-centered focus that seeks to enhance the client's level of motivation for personal growth and change. I provide a warm, safe, and supportive environment in which my clients can explore the issues and challenges they face.

Because of past experiences working with a variety of cultures and ages, counseling sessions feel like a friendly visit rather than interaction between counselor and client. However, Dr. Monroe incorporates skills into the visit which provide therapeutic technique. Although in-person visits are recommended, using doxy provides a secure network for telehealth and can be used from the comfort of your home. These experiences are designed to create a positive emotional healing process for the client.

Looking for a therapist can be difficult, finding one that is good fit can be even harder. I am from the Flathead Valley, I grew up here and I am as real as it gets. If you are looking for a therapist that "gets it" and will "get you," you have come to the right place. Having difficulty in your relationships? I am an Emotionally Focused trained therapist, the gold standard when treating marriage, couples and family, and relationships in general. Experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, racing thoughts, PTSD, depression, childhood and adulthood trauma, perinatal and postpartum issues, the loss of a loved one or a pet? I can help!
