About Monica New (Xe/Xim)
Monica New is dedicated to helping clients build the path to the life they envision. Many of her clients have experienced limited success with previous therapists but find significant progress working alongside her. Monica is passionate about guiding individuals through life’s challenges, helping them gain clarity, make impactful changes, and face the future with confidence. She encourages clients to release doubts and worries about the past as they look ahead.
Monica specializes in supporting clients facing a range of challenges, including online and in-person dating, finding a partner who complements their strengths, navigating personal, family, and professional relationship conflicts, and working through issues such as trauma, hopelessness, sadness, anxiety, and various DSM-5 diagnoses. She is EMDR-certified with a focus on attachment-based work, utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to address past traumas and unresolved emotional experiences effectively. With a commitment to empowering clients to feel happy, confident, and proud of who they are, Monica invites those ready to make lasting changes to work together on building a fulfilling life.
