Monica Muratalla, M.S., LPC-Associate, is a bilingual (English/Spanish), culturally responsive therapist who works with children, adolescents, and young adults. 

As a first-generation Mexican American, Monica brings a deep understanding of the cultural, family, and generational dynamics that can influence mental health, identity, and emotional well-being.

Before beginning her clinical work, Monica spent over six years teaching, an experience she credits with shaping her approach to guiding children and adolescents with patience, understanding, and encouragement. She now brings these skills into her therapy practice to provide a holistic service to clients.

Monica is passionate about supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma-related concerns, life transitions, self-esteem challenges, and family stressors. She has a particular interest in supporting teens and young adults through stress, identity development, family dynamics, and major life transitions.

Her therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. Monica uses an integrative framework that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), person-centered therapy, and strengths-based interventions to help clients build coping skills, emotional insight, and resilience. 

She strives to create a safe, affirming space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to show up as their authentic selves.

Monica believes that healing begins with connection and trust. She views therapy as a partnership and meets clients where they are, supporting meaningful growth at a pace that feels right for each individual. 

Whether clients seek services in English or Spanish, Monica is committed to providing compassionate care that honors culture, lived experience, and personal strengths.
