Welcome! I’m Monica Welfare, a Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Training at Diversified Lifestyle Services (DLS), supervised by Dr. Antoinette Lancaster. I provide counseling for individuals, couples, and families, offering both in-person and virtual sessions so you can choose the environment where you feel most supported. My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and evidence-based care.
I draw on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) while integrating other therapeutic perspectives to fit your unique needs, strengths, and lived experiences. Whether you’re navigating stress, relationship challenges, grief, or a major life transition, my goal is to help you make sense of what you’re carrying and move toward meaningful, sustainable change.
I believe healing happens in a space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. That’s why I work to create a calm, nonjudgmental environment where you can explore your story at your own pace. And throughout the process, your welfare is always at the center of our work together. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you.
