About Monica Dada (Barham)

As a licensed therapist in Maryland, I bring 18 years of compassionate clinical experience supporting individuals through diverse life challenges. My practice centers on creating a supportive, understanding environment where clients can explore their emotional landscapes and develop meaningful strategies for personal growth.

I specialize in addressing complex issues including depression, anxiety, relationship dynamics, workplace stress, and life transitions. My approach is holistic and culturally responsive, honoring each client’s unique background and lived experiences. I’m particularly committed to supporting individuals navigating challenging experiences such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, family conflicts, and personal identity exploration.

My therapeutic framework integrates evidence-based practices with deep empathy, focusing on communication, healing, and personal empowerment. Whether you’re struggling with mood disorders, seeking guidance through significant life changes, or working to overcome interpersonal challenges, I’m dedicated to walking alongside you with respect, understanding, and professional guidance.
