About Mona Cabada (She/Her)
Mona Cabada, LMFT, helps adults and older adults throughout California navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity, resilience, and emotional well-being. As a Marriage & Family Therapist at LifeStance Health, she provides compassionate, evidence-based therapy tailored to each individual’s unique experiences and goals. Mona works with adults and seniors facing concerns such as anxiety, depression, and grief, creating a supportive environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful changes. Mona is especially passionate about helping individuals manage anxiety, heal from depression, and process grief and loss. She recognizes that emotional struggles can affect relationships, work, physical health, and overall quality of life. Her therapeutic approach focuses on helping clients develop practical coping skills, strengthen emotional awareness, and build lasting strategies for managing stress and life transitions. She also supports individuals through midlife and later-life transitions, helping them adapt to change with confidence and purpose. Drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based techniques, Mona collaborates with clients to identify patterns that may be contributing to emotional distress while fostering healthier ways of thinking and responding to challenges. In addition to her primary areas of focus, she provides support for trauma-related concerns and other mental health needs. Outside of her clinical work, Mona enjoys photography, painting, traveling, hiking, spending time in nature, music, and poetry. These creative and restorative pursuits help inform her appreciation for personal growth, self-expression, and the healing value of connection. Through LifeStance Health, Mona Cabada serves adults and seniors across California with therapy that is grounded in empathy, clinical expertise, and a commitment to helping clients achieve meaningful and lasting change. She also offers services in Spanish, helping expand access to care for California’s diverse communities.
