About Monica Gangwar, MA, AMFT
I work with people who carry a great deal, professionally, personally, and relationally. My clients include executives, healthcare professionals, people working in technology and public service, teens and young adults, couples, families, immigrants, and those impacted by the justice system. Many come to therapy for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, burnout, grief, ADHD, bipolar disorder, or significant life transitions. Together, we look beyond symptom management to understand the patterns, relationships, and experiences that shaped them, creating meaningful and lasting change.
My goal is to build a judgement free, safe, grounded space where we can honestly and curiously explore who you are, who you’ve been, and who you’re becoming. I draw from education, clinical training, science, and lived experience. If you’re looking for a specific approach you don’t see listed, reach out, I’d be happy to talk.
A few paragraphs can’t capture a person, and they certainly can’t tell you what it feels like to sit across from one. Stay curious. Explore your options. If you’re looking for someone who helps you feel seen, challenged, and understood, I’d be delighted to hear from you. Let’s see if we’re the right fit.
