Jennifer Monjack, MSW, LCSW
Education and Experience
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Texas
Master of Social Work from California State University Northridge
Double Bachelors in Child Development and Family Studies from California State University Long Beach
I have over 16 years experience working with children, teens, their families and parents in outpatient hospital settings (IOP and PHP), developmental (ECI), and Educational based settings (School Crisis Counselor/ SPED Counselor). The question is not what’s wrong with you, but rather what happened to you? I assist you in working though situations of anxiety, depression, focus and attention, disrupted sleep, irritability, life stressors such as strained family dynamics, major life changes, poor self-esteem, medical diagnosis and grief. All feelings are normal, it is how we respond to them that impact our lives. When working with children and adolescents, I utilize play therapy techniques such as games, sand tray play, art, prompted journaling and physical activities to assist with the therapeutic process. Through these activities, I assist the youth in creating a new tool box of coping skills to address their feelings and emotions. I work with clients age from 5 to 65.
Types of Therapy
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Trust Based Relationship Intervention (TBRI), Pathways (Naturalistic ABA), Trauma Informed, Restorative Circles, Play Based.
About Myself:
I believe the client is the expert on their own life. You have strengths that are often overlooked when dealing with life issues. I feel my role is to facilitate your path towards your goals by highlighting your strengths and working towards solutions together. I also believe that parents are key players in their youth’s functioning. As a team, we approach the issues that bring you or your child to therapy to achieve the best outcomes. As a therapist, I focus on strength based, solution focused, trauma informed practices. The therapeutic models I utilize are those of cognitive behavior therapy, solution focused, family systems theories. You are the expert in your own life, and we start where you feel comfortable. I provide mindful, empathetic and evidence-based techniques to help you achieve your goals.
Specializations:
Children , Adolescents, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Identity, Family Conflict, Grief and Bereavement.
