Hello, my name is Monika and I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker (LMSW) in the state of Michigan and New Jersey.  I have experience working in both the mental health and school settings and have worked with adults and youth ranging in all ages. I’ve been a school social worker since 2009, have worked in the mental health settings since 2015 and started my own mental health practice in 2019. I specialize in working with women suffering from  adult and childhood trauma, C-PTSD, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns/unhealthy relationships, self-esteem, addictions and more. I support clients in  overcoming past traumas and present day stressors.

I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR Level I & II),  Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Stress Reduction, Somatic Studies and Trauma Informed Yoga. I’m also a certified Yoga Teacher RYT- 200 and a certified Reiki I & II practitioner.

My therapeutic approach is client centered, mindfulness based and incorporates a holistic approach, that all components of ones’ life are interrelated. I utilize various treatment approaches to bring self-awareness and understanding of the connection between our mind, body and spirit.  I believe every person has the potential for personal awareness and growth and to live a healthier and more authentic life. 

I’m a student of life and enjoy learning about myself and the world around me.  I’m an avid reader (mostly of psychology and the personal development section), enjoy spending time outdoors, moving my body (yoga, walking, going to the gym and dancing), traveling, eating delicious food and spending time with my family. 

I’m fluent in the Polish language and culture.
