More about me

Licensing: LMSW, ACSW Years in Practice: 35 State: Michigan

I offer an open, conversational, and professionally directed approach to individuals and couples seeking therapy for issues including career & work difficulties, depression, anxiety, family issues, as well as sexuality, broken relationships, support for lifestyle changes for clients with medical issues such as diabetes, heart disease and life transitions. The therapeutic relationship is useful to help you learn new ways of understanding yourself and others & forging relationship changes. Throughout our conversation, we will work to understand areas of conflict and difficulty in new ways allowing you to make clearer decisions with more confidence and grace. As a versatile clinician, I enjoy working with all people.

Whether it is Individual or relationship therapy, coaching services, addressing couple or family issues, Parenting consultation, or working with you on your own concerns and examining old beliefs and habits that have been holding you back ~ I welcome patients' stories and enjoy helping them find their own courage, core strengths and desires. As a psychotherapist doing therapy in Ann Arbor some 25+ years, it still is a privilege to witness a patient's process as they discover how to express their truest selves. I love this work and consider it a great gift to be invited to witness your work and to assist you in your process to create more health and happiness in your life.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

I think Monica will get me to where I want to be.

Always comes up with different ideas to help move through tough things.

She also is helping with my thoughts about self doubt and the what if’s that keep creeping into my mind during idle times. I believe Monica to be a perfect fit for me at this time in my life of uncertainty. Thx Monica

Strongly Recommend.

Monica is compassionate, kind and caring. She makes herself always available no matter how tight her schedule is. She has become my voice of the reason .

Monica has a calming way about her and has helped me gain perspective even in a couple sessions. So far a very positive experience and will continue.

Monica listens to me and understands the weight of my problems without ever trying to minimize them. I can speak freely and always feel heard. She provides very positive options while I try to deal with my anxiety, and they are things I can do for the rest of my life.

Dr. King is really great! She listens actively and responds with clarifying questions or comments. She's never pushy, and after just a few sessions, I'm already seeing some improvement. I would highly recommend her as a therapist.

She is great

She’s wonderful. Always listening and sweet

I trust her judgement.

Monica is very supportive, is a great listener, and gives advice that helps me to better myself!

If you are looking for a fantastic counselor, look no further. Monica is a great listener, gave me great advice, and most importantly was encouraging. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my membership due to financial concerns. But she has definitely given me many things to think about and methods to handle situations. Thank you again Monica!

Monica, listens, making you feel understood, not by analyzing but by hearing all of your concerns. Monica helps guide you to your own conclusions through personal story but makes sure YOUR voice finds its way.

Compassionate and wonderful to work with and easy to open up to.

Monica has done a great job listening to what I have to say and making recommendations of things I can do to improve my situation.

Monica is really awesome. She is patient and helps you to see the real issues in your life. She helps you uncover and deal with your problems and create a positive way to move forward in your life.

Monica is a highly skilled and attentive therapist who listens carefully and responds with meaningful feedback. I feel very grateful I was paired with her on Better Help and I'm especially thankful now since mental healthcare has become such a vital need. I feel calmer, rational and grounded after talking with her. She's a great resource for anyone looking to limit self destructive behaviors and are open to live a better life.

Monica is fantastic. I wanted a counselor to be someone I could have a conversation with and not feel like I was being “treated”. Our very first conversation was so enlightening. I look forward to our talks even if I don’t have anything I think I need to talk about. She is intuitive and insightful.

Very understanding and patient. She's very kind and will do everything she can to find something that will help you and fit your life.

Monica has been incredibly helpful for me. She responds incredibly quickly and sends me tools to read thru outside of our sessions. Shes very caring, calm and positive. She has said many things that stick with me. I'm learning great tools to better my life and happiness with her.

Monica is super sweet, she listens and is non-judgmental and offers realistic solutions

Monica has been an excellent resource. Her empathy and plans of action are really helpful.

Monica in so knowledgeable and has helped me be confidence and comfortable each time I am checking back in with myself. She listens and is so respectful when I speak. I truly feel as though my voice is being heard and she responds with such loving wisdom!

Monica is a great counselor and very understanding. She asks the right questions to really get me thinking on how I can improve myself.

Working with Monica for the past month has been incredibly helpful. She has a very caring, warm tone of voice that feels very nurturing and I always walk away from our sessions with a lot of clarity, confidence and new level of understanding about myself. I highly recommend her!

She does a very good job listening and making suggestions to help me with my issues.

Monica is seriously great. She is the best listener and you can tell that she cares. Her voice is so soothing and calming. I would absolutely recommend Monica as a counselor.

Monica is a good listener. She also provides helpful resources. I was impressed by how she sent me resources between sessions. I did not expect that. I have already recommended her to other people.

Within just a few sessions with Monica, I was in a much better place emotionally, mentally, and had renewed hope. After a strong rift with my husband, I needed a compassionate ear that wasn't my friends or family. She listened, gave me good feedback and assigned helpful habits. So far everything she suggested gas been working really well. Thanks to her I've made great progress, and I'm excited to continue until I'm back to me. I'm so glad and thankful to better help for not only providing therapy at a price I could afford, but having sessions from home, which has been important for me since all of this has made me paranoid about going out to seek help. I know I have more work to do, but with Monica and better help I'm more hopeful now than I have been in about two years. That's priceless to me.

Monica is wonderful and kind.

Monica is wonderful! She saw right through my actions and pinpointed their causes, and she did so with kindness and encouragement. Her suggestions for resolutions improved my life!

She’s very kind and relatable. Takes time to listen to you before jumping to solve anything. I appreciate her willingness to get to know me too.

She does a great job of listening to me and helps me keep on track with the things I wanted to talk to her about.

Monica is great. She has helped me see things about myself that I otherwise would not have realized.

Monica is so understanding, listens so well, and is intuitive to what I’m trying to say when I can’t totally say it. She has encouraged me and given me good advice to deal with different situations.. pushing me to do better at a rate that I needed. She’s helped me change my life and my outlook in just a few weeks, and I really appreciate that.

Monica is bright, sensitive, a good listener and helpful, I recommend her to anyone in need of counseling.

Very professional, very helpful and always very kind!

I worked with her for only a short time; however, in that short time she did a good job, from what I saw. She was open, kind, and caring, as well as timely and flexible; I very much appreciated working with her.

Monica is very responsive and her recommendations for me are very helpful. I like how she makes me feel well listened to and how i am learning to realize core issues i have in my relationship. Monica is very nice and I like her gentle tone of voice.

Monica is wonderful. Very flexible and understanding about times for phone sessions. Always gets back to me quickly when I write. She listens, understands, and has already been a big help. I look forward to more sessions.

She has been amazing and very attentive.

Monica has been fantastic through everything. I've loved the time we had together.

I am not sure how BetterHelp managed to match me so well with Monica, but I couldn't be happier. I have passively searched for someone to talk to for 20 years, and have never made it past the first couple visits.
