Patty Walker Monical holds a PhD in Counselor Education & Supervision and is dually licensed as a Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT) and Professional Counselor (LPC). A clinician since 2007, Patty is also EMDR Certified.

Patty’s 15 years as a play therapist prepared her for her role as a parent coach, teaching parents to utilize the principles of play therapy at home so they can strengthen the parent-child relationship & THRIVE. Patty also works with couples using the Gottman Method, a research-based model that is highly successful in repairing and strengthening committed relationships. People who work with Patty report less chaos and conflict and more peace and joy in their marriages and families as a result.

Patty uses EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) with adults to resolve past hurts, change old patterns and move forward with confidence, resourcefulness and resilience. At the core of Patty’s philosophy is the belief that we all carry stories that can benefit from a little editing and rewriting so we can embrace life with love and zest!
