Monica Englander, LCSW

Monica Englander is an LCSW - a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - with 20 years of counseling experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups. She focuses on rebuilding self-esteem and helping people strengthen their ability to manage life, relationships, and emotions in constructive, effective ways. Her approach centers on practical healing that helps clients feel more capable and confident in their choices.

She brings experience with corporate and EAP counseling and has supervised interns progressing toward their own licenses. Her clients come from diverse backgrounds and career paths, including many who work in helping professions such as therapists, doctors, nurses, teachers, and caregivers. Culture, identity, and personal beliefs are treated with respect - what matters to each person is valued in the work she offers.

Her counseling style is inquisitive and interactive - she listens to what each client needs to say and seeks to understand the factors that make life feel less manageable or less pleasant. Many clients present with some degree of past trauma or wounds to their sense of worth. She believes that when the core injury to self-image is addressed and a person comes to like, accept, and trust themselves, other problems tend to resolve more readily.

Monica is communicative and collaborative in therapy, asking how clients feel, what they think, and what they want so their needs are met. She expresses hope that potential clients will find something here that feels right and safe, and she believes that, with a little help, people can find their way forward.
