I was Dr. Monkarsh’s patient for two years, and it was the best gift I have given myself. He helped me change my life entirely and I am grateful for his services. There is no price tag that can repay him for helping me transform from sad and feeling hopeless in a challenging long-term marriage to now being happy, strong, energetic, goal-oriented, and enthusiastic about life. I am my “old self” once again. That is priceless.

I am of Hispanic-American ethnicity, and seeking therapy is a cultural “taboo” in my family. Yet, after over 22 years in a very difficult marriage and extreme unhappiness I knew that I needed professional help that could help me get clarity. It was with trepidation that I entered his office, and I immediately realized that Dr. Monkarsh was professional, an excellent listener, genuine, compassionate and yet straight-forward in a gentle manner. He asked me open-ended questions, without judgment, that made me think of my situation and how I could solve challenges. Because I am a task-oriented individual, he gave me weekly assignments and we picked up from there each session. It was not easy to do the soul-searching and face hard areas of my life, but he never gave up on me and he genuinely cared. He was a non-biased clinical psychologist who was honest with me, even when it was difficult. He was the confidential professional that I needed to help me transform my life. I felt safe, respected and not alone.

Dr. Monkarsh is now working with my 23-year old daughter and he is helping her with the same care and professionalism he offered me as his past patient. As a mom, I am extremely grateful for the help he is providing her and I feel relieved and at peace that my daughter is receiving his services. My daughter and I do not discuss their sessions and I respect her privacy, yet I see the positive changes in her life through her work with Dr. Monkarsh as well.

I am fortunate to have been Dr. Monkarsh’s patient. My only regret is that I had not worked with him decades before.

I highly recommend seeing Dr. Monkarsh if you are looking for a kind, caring, and knowledgeable psychologist. He was the first therapist to understand how my abuse history and PTSD have negatively affected my relationships. He has such kind, caring eyes, and with his wonderful golden retriever therapy dog, helps me feel safe as I talk about my past traumas. He has helped me end abusive relationships and begin healthy ones. For the first time in my life, I feel optimistic about my future because of my therapy with Dr. Monkarsh.

Dr. Monkarsh has an amazing ability to treat anxiety disorders with a combination of meditation and hypnosis. My daughter was in a terrible accident and refused to get into a car. Since he treated her with two meditation sessions she was able to return to driving in a car without any significant anxiety symptoms. It was truly an amazing transformation.

Dr.Monkarsh is the nicest man I have ever met. He treated my son with amazing care. He is a phenomenal man. He can always resolve issues when I see him. He has made a positive impact on my life. If it wasn't for him I wouldn't be in good shape. I am truly grateful for him

Dr. Monkarsh was the most genuine, kind, and caring therapist I have ever met. I could tell he gave everything he had to try to help me fix my problems. I always knew he cared about my situation, and easily put himself in my shoes. Dr. Monkarsh did great counseling with my family. He never showed he favored one family member over the other. My family all felt he cared equally about all of us. We knew he had the best of intentions for us all, and he was incredibly knowledgeable about health, communication, and solving common problems of everyday life. My family has issues with depression, anxiety, and ADHD kids, and he was able to effectively treat all of these problems. I would recommend him highly.

My lawyer sent me to Dr. Monkarsh for a evaluation after some very serious accusations from my ex-wife as we were going through a divorce. Dr. Monkarsh was very thourough and he carefully listened to all my key points and was able to write a very convincing argument on my behalf. His testimonial paper was bulletproof and I can now visit my daughter without any supervision. I would highly recomend Dr. Monkarsh!!!!

I saw Dr. Monkarsh for a specific reason: during our original phone call he quoted me a specific fee and anticipated number of sessions. Nothing he told me has happened. It cost me far more than he said and sadly nothing got done. I felt worse after every session. Finally he sent me home with an assignment that was impossible for me to do: paradoxically the very reason I sought his care. I don't think he heard 1/4 of what I was saying.
