Pema Chodron states that the "essence of life is that it's challenging." I believe that with the right support, your difficult life experiences and challenges, whatever they may be or however they stemmed, can be overcome with time. I work with adults, adolescents, and couples through these challenging experiences. I bring empathic energy, intuition, careful consideration, humor, and challenge to the process of converting difficulty into growth. My work is driven by philosophies and therapies based in trauma-informed care, neurobiology, attachment theory, nonviolent communication, Emotion Focused Therapy, Buddhism, and EMDR.
I specialize in working with adults who have experienced trauma (e.g. sexual abuse, bereavement, infidelity, emotional abuse), addictions, medical issues (i.e. HIV), and psychosomatic symptoms. I assist couples through communication breakdowns, infidelity, and life adjustments (e.g. birth of child).
Mona Valeriano is my new legal and business name and I formerly went by Mona El Yousef.
