I’m Blanca Monique (she/her), a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Los Angeles, CA.

My Approach:
I guide client’s on a journey of deep self-discovery and self-acceptance through a combination of shadow work, inner child work, and traditional talk therapy. In this process I help clients end shame, walk through grief, and build systems of self-validation and inner safety.

My Experience:
I have worked in mental health since 2014 in various roles and have been a psychotherapist since 2016. I have experience conducting individual and family therapy, in-person and online, with clients presenting with a variety of challenges, such as depression, anxiety, relationship and parenting issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, trauma, abuse, personal growth, and adjustment issues. I provide mental health services in both English and Spanish.

I draw from Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).
