Therapists in Monrovia, CA

Hi. I am a Licensed Psychologist working and living in the community that I grew up in. I have been in clinical practice since 2004. My practice focuses on: 1) Couples and Relationship Therapy, 2) Minority Mental Health, and 3) Emotional and Behavioral Improvements with Teens. Let's talk...

The struggle of being human is real and especially palpable these days. Whether it’s navigating the complexities of a career transition, interpersonal relationships, or confronting deep-seated experiences that influence your connections and overall sense of well-being, I provide compassionate guidance and a nurturing environment where you can explore these challenges. Additionally, I support teens navigating self-esteem issues and couples of all backgrounds, including interracial, consensually non-monogamous, and even non-romantic business partnerships. Regardless of your journey, my aim is to empower you in your personal growth.

My name is Dr. David Shepard, and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist based in California, and I work with clients statewide via telehealth. I am also a Certified Sex Therapy Informed Professional, and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety, depression, anger issues, relationship challenges, intimacy/sexual health, life transitions, sexuality/LGBTQ+, and identity/self-esteem issues. My therapeutic approach is integrative, person-centered, multicultural focused, collaborative, and strength based.

To put it simply, I love people. And what inspires me as a therapist is the opportunity to serve others through authentic connection and collaborative insight into clients' thoughts, feelings and actions. While drawn to cognitive behavioral and Mindfulness interventions, for me, providing a safe, warm and open relational component is key. Whether working with couples, individual adults or adolescents, and issues ranging from anxiety, depression, trauma, or sexuality, intimacy and interpersonal functioning, it is a privilege to hold your confidence and assist you in your journey towards integration and wellness.

At times, we find ourselves overwhelmed by stress and feeling trapped. I aim to offer guidance during emotional turbulence, relational strife, and disruptive behavior. I collaborate with you to enhance your self-awareness by employing a patient and inquisitive approach. Through self-awareness, you can cultivate a nurturing and empathetic bond with yourself, enabling you to navigate life's fluctuations with greater ease and foster deeper connections with loved ones.

Your story matters deeply to me. I provide relational, integrative, and sex-positive therapy to queer and BIPOC individuals. My clients are looking to make their minds and bodies a safe home and are often the first in their families to have the courage to disrupt limiting beliefs and cycles. They seek to challenge expectations as they dare to redefine themselves wholeheartedly. Together, we will make space to explore the impact of generational and personal traumas, navigate the complexities and beauty of intersecting identities, and create meaningful, lasting, and accessible healing practices.

I work with individuals & families who yearn for deeper, more satisfying connections to themselves, each other and the earth. Self-love is an unlearning process, and by bearing witness to your gifts, spirit, and love, as well as whatever may be clouding these forces, I hope to help you come home to yourself and from a place of alignment, begin orienting your life towards what nourishes it. Capitalism leaves us with few tools beyond the punishment and blame when it comes to self-improvement. I hope to replenish your toolkit with the grace, curiosity, and connection that will actually facilitate the growth and wellbeing of your spirit

Are you feeling lost? Or maybe out of control, burned out, stuck, or like an imposter? Are you or your loved ones repeating behaviors, relationships, or situations, and wishing you could break the cycle? Maybe little things feel more stressful than usual. Sometimes, we aren't sure what causes our distress, but we can sense we're not reaching our potential for health, happiness, or success. Even when we know the cause, change can still feel impossible. That's where I come in. My job is not to judge you; it's to listen, help you understand the root causes of your difficulties, and teach you practical tools to help change your life.
