Raymond Monge, LPC, NCC

We are all inhibited, to some degree or another, from freely tuning in to our emotional life. Some of us are barely aware that we ore in distress at all. Like a gardener who tends to the weeds without pulling out the roots, we’ve become so preoccupied with the management of our distress that few of us ever fully grasp what lies beneath, let alone understand why ignoring our feelings forces them to grow back stronger and more vigorously than ever. I help individuals confront their genuine feelings, even the painful ones, in order to bring relief, vitality and a healthier relationship with oneself.

Theoretically, I pull from psychodynamic, existential, and postmodern perspectives. Trained in both Philosophy and Mental Health Counseling, I offer a personalized and integrated approach to the therapeutic process. I view the therapeutic relationship as a means towards self-awareness and growth. I help foster vitality, comfort, and healthier relationships in my patients by providing a space to explore how they think, feel, and relate to others.

I work with individuals with a variety of presenting concerns, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, self-defeating patterns, intimacy & relationships, anger & impulse control issues, as well as ethical and existential concerns.
