Therapists in Monrovia, CA

Hello! My name is Matthew Mendoza and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT). Over the years of working with my clients I have found that the most crucial factor in making changes is the therapeutic alliance. The therapeutic alliance is how comfortable the client feels opening up with their therapist. Which is why I strive to provide a safe and nonjudgmental place for you to share. On top of this, I use a variety of therapeutic approaches based on the presenting issues and your personality; always keeping in mind what will work best for you.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I possess the qualifications and experience to assist you in identifying your goals and managing difficult life events. My experience working with adults, adolescents, and children has allowed for an understanding of various presenting issues and feelings, while providing the psychotherapy services required for each individual, couple, family or group. Through listening, exploring and processing, I have been successful in helping individuals manage depression and anxiety, overcome grief and loss, manage addiction, increase self-esteem, and develop the communication and adaptive skills necessary to achieve their goals and improve their relationships.

I want to work with people who are willing to try something new, to try something different, to take risks, to be vulnerable, to explore, and to discover. I am deeply committed both to the family and individual. I want to extend myself to those finding themselves ready to push through conflicts by collaborating with me on the process of being honest and comfortable in our skin. In terms of facing life's adventures, if you feel that I am talking to you please feel free to contact me to set up an initial consultation.

My overall approach is eclectic, but I hold an attachment theory-based perspective. I am trauma-informed and trauma-responsive.

Hi! My name is Maribel Uribe(She/Her/Ella), and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. By providing safe and non-judgmental support and encouragement, I assist my clients as they heal and reach their goals. We are so often impacted by previous experiences, and we don't always understand how those experiences influence and impact our present. My goal is to support my clients so they gain insight and realize their options. My clients come from diverse cultural backgrounds and with individualized challenges.

Have you ever experienced not being able to make sense of your feelings or your behavior? Do you feel like you are stuck and you don't know how to move on?  Whether you are struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, and/or identity issues, I am equipped to walk along side you in this progressive journey.  I utilize  psychoanalytic, CBT, EMDR and trauma informed to treat a wide variety of emotional issues. What does that mean? My goal through therapy is to improve your self awareness so that you would have a clear understanding of your current behavior, which might have been caused unconsciously by past experiences.

The process of healing in therapy is a journey - one that opens doors to see ourselves differently and accept ourselves more fully. It allows for there to be space to sit with our innermost thoughts and feelings as we bear witness to the courageous process towards renewal and growth. Through a safe, genuine, and empathetic therapeutic experience, my goal as a psychotherapist is to provide an opportunity for my clients to express their pain and hardships as we explore ways to move towards fulfillment, wellness, and achieving their goals in life.

Sometimes we find it hard to understand what is going on inside our heart and head. Perhaps we have a vague idea but we can't find the words to adequately express what we are feeling. Therapy offers us the opportunity to put language to our experience and increase our self awareness. Personal and relational transformation depend on that self awareness. I strive to create a safe place for you to journey inward without judgment; so that you may feel respected, secure and understood. To be invited into the depths of another person's soul is always a privilege. It is an honor for me to take this journey with you.
