Ronda Monroe, MS, NCC, cctp
Office Location: virtual and Atlanta
I believe therapy is a transformative space where your pain is heard, your strengths acknowledged, and your dreams nurtured.
I welcome individual, couple, and family clients with a range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship issues, self-esteem, and grief.
I specialize in relational trauma, parental hurt (mother/father wound), family dynamics, and attachment issues; working with clients who wish to navigate the complexities of difficult childhood experiences and dysfunctional family relationships. I also facilitate a Parental Hurt support group twice a year, offering a safe space for connection and healing. Additionally, as an Employee Assistance Program counselor, I help professionals who are experiencing burnout, stress, and career transitions in the corporate setting.
To acknowledge each client's individuality and specific needs, I pull from various modalities including Cognitive Behavioral therapies (CBT, ACT, DBT), Narrative therapy, and Psychotherapy. Also, as a trauma-informed yoga instructor, I incorporate a somatic approach that emphasizes the mind-body connection through body awareness and mindfulness. For couple clients, I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy to help you and your partner break out of communication traps, foster emotional safety, and develop practical tools to manage the ebbs and flows of connection.
I hold my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Mercer University and my bachelor's degree in Sociology from Georgia State University. In addition, I hold certification as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), and training in Emotionally Focused Therapy.
As your therapist, I hope to walk alongside you to encourage you, hold space for you, challenge you (we all need gentle accountability!), and equip you with the tools and self-awareness you need to create meaningful life changes.
I see adult clients under the supervision of Matt Dooley, LPC, NCC, CPCS and direction of Meg McLeroy, LMFT.
