Monika has been extremely responsive, providing tangible recommendations and suggestions when I need them, or providing sympathy if I just need an ear. Her support has ranged in topics from my marriage, new motherhood, executive leadership in my job, and finding interests outside those areas.

Recent reviews
The help and guidance I have received from Monika Broecker have been so beneficial to my well being and has moved me out of a rut that I was "stuck in" with a close family member relationship. I so appreciate being able to work with her, even living so far away! I'd recommend her counseling style, her expertise, and Better Help to everyone wishing they could have help to work on an old problem, a new problem, or help recognizing when something in your life has become a problem. Get better--get help!

Do you feel stressed, anxious, or depressed? Do have difficulties in relationships? Whatever it is that you are struggling with, I can work with you and help your find inner peace. The Vietnamese Buddhist Monk and teacher of Mindfulness, Thich Nhat Hanh, says, if we are anxious, we are living in the future; if we are depressed, we are living in the past. If we live in the present, we can feel peace. If we feel calm and relaxed in the here and now, we can also become more thoughtful and optimistic about the future. We can start building this future with ever step we take and thus make progress immediately.
I am a Solution-Focused and Somatic Psychotherapist. I trained at the legendary Mental Research Institute in Palo Alto and in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy with the founders of the approach. I graduated with a Masters degree in Somatic Psychology from California Institute of Integral Studies. I am certified in Analytic Somatic Therapy. Analytic Somatic Therapy is a further development of Bioenergetic Analysis and includes cutting-edge research in trauma and brain research. I am also certified in Systemic Therapy.
I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a 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.
