In midlife and beyond, life may look “fine” from the outside—yet feel more complex internally. You may be navigating health changes, sleep problems, grief, unexpected transitions, traumatic stress, divorce, cognitive concerns, or quietly asking, 'What does this next chapter look like for me?'
I’m Monika Downey, a licensed clinical psychologist with over 15 years of experience, specializing in midlife and later adulthood. My background includes health psychology in medical settings, traumatic stress, life adjustment, and performance coaching.
My approach is warm, direct, and practical—focused on clarity and meaningful change.
Therapy should never feel like wandering in the dark. We focus on what you need now using evidence-based, practical care. From the start, we clarify goals, next steps, and how progress will be measured. You’ll always know our focus and direction because we will collaborate on the best path forward in a structured way to bring clarity to your situation.
You don’t have to do this alone. Let's figure this out together! When it feels right, I invite you to reach out. The best way to reach me is through the Psychology Today message form below. You can also visit my website using the link on this page to schedule a free 15-minute consultation or find my direct phone number.
