Monarch Behavioral Health (Business )

Monarch Behavioral Health specializes in life changing therapy services and comprehensive psychological testing for individuals of all ages.

Life is full of challenges. Trauma related experiences, depression, anxiety, stress, grief, a child’s challenging behaviors, parenting - everyone goes through challenges at some point in their life. It’s common to feel lost and unsure of how to manage these challenges.

That’s where therapy can help. Our therapists can work with you to gain greater understanding of the challenges you are facing, share techniques for coping with those challenges, and provide suggestions and advice on how you can overcome these challenges. Through it all, our clinicians provide a warm, safe, judgement free environment where you can feel comfortable and supported talking openly about the challenges you face.

  • Child Therapy Using Play Therapy Techniques - As a parent, there is nothing more heartbreaking than watching your child struggle. They may be dealing with big emotions and behavioral concerns. Or, they may be sorting through the lasting effects of trauma, anxiety, or depression. Your child deserves support in expressing their emotions and coping with new experiences. Working with a child therapist can help your child cope with emotional concerns.
  • Teen Therapy - The teenage years are also a time of self-discovery. For some individuals that process is easy. But for others, figuring out who you are and what you want from life can be extremely difficult. Our teen therapists are skilled at navigating these issues and more. We can support you as you deal with the pain of your past and help you develop a plan to move forward with your life with confidence.
