Passion
My name is Monica Currier, and I am an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor who graduated from Western Seminary in 2020 with a Master of Arts in Counseling. I am passionate about walking with clients on their journey toward greater awareness, healing and wholeness.
Approach
There are times we all feel stuck in life – estranged from parts of ourselves, God, and others. We long to be known, seen, heard, and loved unconditionally. Under those circumstances, great change is possible. Yet, it can be terrifying to lower our masks of self-protection and risk being known. I understand that fear, and will prioritize safety so you can explore new ways of being in the world. I am eclectic in my approach, utilizing attachment theory and skills based in cognitive behavior therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. As a compassionate witness and a collaborator with you in the therapeutic process, I meet you where you’re at. Together, we will identify and work to transform the stuck places and relational patterns that may no longer serve you well and which may be keeping you from being known, seen, heard, and loved.
