Monica Myers
(She/Her/Hers)
Counselor, Independent Substance Abuse Counselor, Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC), Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), Psychotherapist
I believe that in some point of everyone’s life, a therapist can be beneficial, even if it is to have an objective person to listen without judgement.
As a therapist I always aim to provide a safe, caring, confidential space for people to come to share their struggles and goals. I want to provide an environment that will help people work through their struggles to obtain their goals. I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker with a Supervisory Designation and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I graduated from the University of Akron with a Master of Social Work. I’ve attained more than 15 years of experience in the field. I enjoy working with adults and there is no cap on age! I’ve gained considerable experience in working with people that have substance abuse disorders, anger management issues, trauma, mood disorders, phase of life issues, and personality disorders. I provide education and evidence-based practices to help individuals reach desired goals for the life issues they may be facing. I’ve utilized Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing techniques to help my clients.
