Monica Chirvase

In therapy, I offer a supportive and respectful space for you to explore what’s been holding you back and to reconnect with your inner strengths and values. My approach is grounded in empathy, warmth, and collaboration, using evidence-based methods tailored to your unique needs. I believe that meaningful change is possible when we feel seen, safe, and empowered to better understand ourselves. I specialize in Schema Therapy and trauma-informed care, working with clients to identify and shift deep-rooted emotional patterns that may be affecting relationships, self-worth, or day-to-day wellbeing. Our work together focuses not just on coping, but on healing at a deeper level—so that you can live with greater clarity, freedom, and self-trust. My experience includes working with a wide range of challenges such as relationship and intimacy issues, anxiety and panic, OCD, depression, burnout, trauma, low self-esteem, life transitions and grief and loss. I also support clients in areas of personal development, breaking lifelong unhelpful patterns, and navigating life with ADHD or Autism, always within a non-judgmental, culturally sensitive space.

I use an integrative approach, drawing from a range of evidence-based therapeutic methods to best support each person’s unique needs and goals. This flexibility allows me to tailor the therapeutic process with care, adapting it to what feels most helpful for your healing and growth. I have extensive experience working with individuals facing a wide variety of psychological difficulties, including anxiety disorders (such as generalized anxiety, panic attacks, social anxiety, and phobias), depression, personality disorders, ADHD and autism. I also work with challenges related to trauma, emotional regulation (including anger and fear), and long-standing relational or self-worth patterns. My approach combines clinical expertise with a deep respect for your lived experience. I aim to create a safe and collaborative space where we can explore what’s difficult, reconnect with your resilience, and support meaningful and lasting change at both emotional and behavioral levels.
