About Me

Monica Guillen, MSW, LICSW

Hello, I’m Monica. A bilingual (English/Spanish) therapist who has experienced and overcome trauma. I have the unique ability to ensure that my clients get the expertise and guidance they need to process the past and move forward. I’m dedicated to helping women of all ages get the support they need to overcome the symptoms and effects of internal and external struggles that trauma can cause.

I also specialize in supporting professional caregivers — nurses, doctors, teachers, therapists, social workers, and other frontline helpers — who often benefit from EMDR to process workplace trauma, burnout, compassion fatigue, and chronic stress. Caring for others does not protect you from trauma; you deserve a space to heal, too.

Types of Therapy

  • Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

  • EMDR

  • Trauma Focused

More About Me

When I’m not with clients, you can find me tending to my pups, plants, and grandbabies.  I adore spending time with my five grandsons and anxiously await one of my four children to give me a granddaughter. 

I seek relaxation in nature, enjoying activities like boating, fishing, and hiking. My sweet service dog Indira often joins me on hikes and when I’m working in the garden.
