About Monica Duncan

Hello, my name is Monica Duncan, and I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience. I understand that beginning therapy takes courage, so I commend you for taking this important step toward investing in yourself and your relationships. Each session is designed to honor that courage and is tailored to support you in achieving your personal goals. I use evidence-based strategies and tools that highlight your strengths and promote meaningful growth. My approach creates a safe, empathetic, nonjudgmental, and solution-focused space for your healing and development.
Therapy is a collaborative process. Together, we will identify a plan that moves you toward your desired outcomes. Change requires persistence, trust, honesty, diligence, and patience—but you won’t walk that path alone. I am fully committed to your success and will provide consistent encouragement and support throughout every phase of our work together.
I look forward to the privilege of working with you.
