Monica Pimentel MS

Hello, I am Mónica Pimentel, a licensed therapist (LPC) with experience and training in EMDR, Reproductive Grief Therapy and the Gottman method for couples. My focus is on helping adults, couples at any stage of their relationship, and parents with adolescent or adult children face life's challenges and transitions with strength and purpose.

My areas of specialization include couple relationships, interfamily dynamics, and emotional management during different stages of life. I work from a strengths and solutions-based approach, helping my clients become the best version of themselves and face challenges and joys in an intentional and emotionally healthy way.

I have a Master's Degree in Counseling Science from Southern Methodist University (SMU) and extensive experience working with victims of domestic violence, reproductive grief, and relationships.

My greatest motivation as a therapist is to support the Hispanic and bilingual community, helping them adapt and live fully without losing their roots and cultural identity. As an immigrant born and raised in Mexico City, I deeply understand the challenges of finding a balance between two cultures while navigating life.

My advice if you are considering starting therapy:
"Take the time to find the right therapist for you. Interview different professionals until you find someone you feel comfortable with. Therapy is a collaborative process that begins with that connection."

I constantly strive to stay up to date, learning new theories and techniques that can benefit my clients. For me, each client represents an opportunity to apply my knowledge and learn something new.

In the future, I would like to continue developing in the area of ​​couples therapy, focusing on those who are facing parenting challenges or are planning to start a family. I'm here to help you build stronger relationships and a more fulfilling life.
