Cristina Monroy

Cristina Monroy is a dedicated Clinical Social Worker and therapist who collaborates with individuals, couples, and families to enhance their ability to manage, grow, and flourish through life’s transitions. Her ultimate goal is to guide clients from viewing life as a sequence of problems to experiencing it as an opportunity for solutions. By empowering her clients to craft their own answers, she instills a sense of agency in shaping their lives. Utilizing Mindfulness-Based Play Family Therapy, Cristina specializes in working with children aged four through young adulthood, addressing a wide array of developmental challenges and equipping them with vital tools for success. Her approach is grounded in a contextual therapy model, where each individual is understood within the framework of their family of origin, emphasizing the importance of each person’s perspective. Cristina’s practice underscores themes of fairness, entitlement, and the often-hidden loyalties that can affect multiple generations. In her therapeutic work, she incorporates sand tray therapy with both children and adults, mindfulness-based parenting techniques, and a non-directive play therapy model. These methodologies foster healing, growth, and a sense of balance, reflecting her commitment to nurturing well-being in her clients.
