Modern Mental Health Counseling

Cultivate Compassion & Clarify Values

At the core of Align & Light is a deeply held belief that you are inherently worthy and capable of healing. Together, we can create a path toward growth and transformation. Healing begins with compassion, curiosity, and a little humor, and I would be honored to walk this journey with you.

We work to help clients cultivate self-compassion, clarify their values, and leave therapy feeling empowered to live a life aligned with what matters most to them.

Meet Monica

Owner & Therapist, LCMHCA

Get started with Monica, today.

How do we do it?

Through a blend of neuroscience, empathy and compassionate care, we partner together to build a foundation for meaningful, long-lasting change.

Our approach is trauma-informed and integrative, utilizing proven techniques such as EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to process past experiences and ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy) to help you align your actions with your core values.

We believe that sometimes things suck and the only way out, is through. But you do not have to go through it alone.

In-person and remote options

If you’re local to Wilmington, I’d love to have you join me in my office on Racine Dr!

Telehealth appointments are also an option, for anyone located throughout the state of NC.
