About

Cultivating a healing atmosphere grounded in diverse therapeutic approaches, Monica Bestawros, MAMFT, LMFT, empowers clients to become the best versions of themselves, especially during times of adversity. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, Monica draws from a rich tapestry of interventions, including Person-Centered Therapy, Family Systems Theory, Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness, Existential Psychology, Psychodynamic Theories, and Art Therapy techniques. This integrative approach allows her to tailor treatment to each client's unique needs and goals.

Monica's journey in mental health began in 2006 when she worked as a contractor for the Department of Children and Family Services. Since then, her experience has spanned an impressive array of settings, including private practice, college counseling centers, outpatient psychiatric centers, inpatient psychiatric hospitals, emergency rooms, and clinics. This diverse background has equipped her with the versatility to work effectively with individuals, couples, families, children, and groups, addressing a wide spectrum of mental health concerns.

At the core of Monica's practice is a commitment to helping clients evaluate their life goals and gain insight into the factors influencing their success. She creates a supportive environment where clients can explore their challenges, develop new perspectives, and acquire practical tools for personal growth. Monica's approach is both compassionate and goal-oriented, focusing on empowering clients to navigate life's complexities with greater resilience and self-awareness.

Monica's academic foundation is as robust as her clinical experience. She obtained her master's degree in marriage and family therapy from Richmont Graduate University, building upon her bachelor's degree in political science from Furman University in Greenville, South Carolina. This blend of social science and specialized therapeutic training informs her holistic approach to mental health, allowing her to consider both individual and systemic factors in her work with clients.

As a therapist at Intown Counseling, Monica continues to demonstrate her dedication to fostering healing and personal growth. Her ability to establish a strong therapeutic alliance, combined with her extensive toolkit of interventions, makes her an invaluable resource for those seeking to overcome challenges and achieve meaningful change in their lives.
