Client Testimonials
“Monica is fantastic. I have seen other therapists and psychiatrists prior to Conscious Practice, but still had deep rooted trauma and was stuck. I did not feel like I was healing, I was just analyzing my behavior. However, then I came to Conscious Practice, and ART truly changed my life and allowed me to find what I was missing when it came to healing.”
“I love that Monica uses a holistic approach, listens to me and what I feel is best for me, and is able to help me feel my feelings. Monica truly cares, takes the time to really learn about [me] and how my brain works, create a personalized approach to healing, and has made a world of difference in my mental health and wellbeing. I highly recommend Conscious Practice.”
— “Liz,” age 38
“Monica is warm and welcoming. She was in tune to my triggers and made it a safe space for me. I highly recommend her ART services especially for significant trauma events and have recommended her to others.”
— “Billie,” age 25
“I have always been someone who was anxious about seeking help for my mental health. I was referred to Conscious Practice by my primary care provider when I decided to look into my concerns about undiagnosed ADHD, and I could not be happier with how things have gone. As soon as I created an account, I was greeted with a very friendly message that thoroughly explained how to complete my intake paperwork and get my appointment scheduled. I found the whole process to be very user friendly and easy. I was offered an in-person or virtual session, and it meant a lot that I could be in my home while trying this thing that had always made me so anxious.”
“Monica was extremely personable and helped to alleviate any anxiety I was feeling almost immediately. Throughout the entire session I noticed how at ease I felt while talking about some pretty sensitive issues.”
“At the same time her knowledge and skill as a provider were impressive. She was able to help clarify a lot of thoughts I had struggled to put into words for years, and had excellent information based on my questions.”
“I was especially impressed with how she seems to go the extra mile for her patients. We discussed how nervous I was about going back to school, and she suggested that I reach out and see if there are any special accommodations available at my college. I planned on talking to my advisor, but within two hours of the end of our meeting I had a new message with a link to a page on the school's website with all of the information I would need. In the end I feel like my concerns about my ADHD were all addressed, and I look forward to the opportunities that might open up to me as I begin to manage it.”
“Even though I initially only came to Monica for help with my ADHD I definitely plan on utilizing her services in trauma counselling in the future. I work in EMS and had always thought about seeking help to process some of the horrifying things I sometimes see but had never felt comfortable with the idea of reaching out until now.”
“I cannot recommend Conscious Practice enough and am so happy with my choice to take care of my mental health.”
— “Jeremy,” age 27
“I approached my sessions with Monica with caution and apprehension. I had undertaken talk therapy in the past with decent enough results and was willing to keep working on my mental health. I knew that I needed to resolve my past trauma in some fashion...I just didn't know what would work. I had no prior knowledge of Accelerated Resolution Therapy as well as a personal history of being cynical toward anything remotely holistic.”
“Monica provides a genuine atmosphere of trust. My experience after our sessions has been eye-opening. I am calmer and more at ease. Triggering events do not have the anxiety potential as they once did. I am happier as I am more able to keep negative memories from living in my head and heart "rent-free". I am much, much more capable to handle stressors with a clear mind. I cannot thank Monica enough for helping me to heal and progress.”
— “Noah,” age 52
“Monica is a wonderful provider who really takes the time to understand her clients. I've worked with many different therapists in the past, and I can say that Monica has been the best so far. It's super refreshing--and also very healing--to work with someone who understands and centers a social justice framework in how they practice.”
”On another note, Monica also offers accelerated resolution therapy (A.R.T.) as an option in their practice. For anyone who may be a little wary about A.R.T., I encourage you to give it a chance. Monica has shown me that it's a very useful tool for exploring past traumas in a way that can minimize being re-traumatized. In addition, you don't have to ONLY do A.R.T. I enjoy a nice balance of talk therapy and A.R.T. as works for me.”
”Overall, I definitely recommend Monica and Conscious Practice for any psychiatric and therapy services!”
“The best this area has to offer.”
— “Nkauj,” age 28
“I have been seeing Monica for a few months now for ART Therapy and it has done amazing transformations for the serious trauma that I have endured. I have tried EMDR Therapy in the past many times I have found no luck with any positive changes, but seeing Monica twice a month for ART and then for talk session has helped my mental state, self esteem, confidence, and outlook on life in general. I know I wouldn't be where I am at without her help. This therapy is truly amazing! Highly recommended!”
— “Lauren,” age 45
“I so appreciate working with Monica. She is both very honest and very compassionate. I’m someone who didn’t think there was a therapist out there for me. I tried so many. With Monica’s help, I’m so confident I can do this. She’s awesome!”
— “Shana,” age 36
“I would highly recommend anyone try working with Monica Gorski. Since starting working with her I have made remarkable progress.”
“I was referred to Monica for ketamine therapy and ART for my depression and trauma, but I quickly felt so comfortable at her practice. I have seen many therapists over decades and had not had this experience with others in mental health. I liked her approach to my issues both short and long term. I trusted my instincts.”
“Now I’m so thankful for all Monica has done for me. I really have gotten and continue to get so much from my visits with her. I’m moving in an improved direction. The only bad thing is that it has taken a lot of not so good experiences to get to where I needed to be. But I made it. I’m here! I’m looking at the bad things as a stepping stone that moved me forward, forward in my journey. It's amazing how sometimes the disconnects can actually lead us to deeper connections. It's all purposeful when we are willing to be authentic and repair.”
“I often have a hard time connecting with people but have never felt that with Monica. I feel so comfortable and reassured with her as a guide. I’ve been struggling for years and for the first time I feel I’ve found an answer for my problems. I love working with her!”
— “Margaret,” age 61
“I have struggled with major symptoms for nearly two decades. I have been on dozens of medications and seen a number of therapists/psychiatrists. I can confidently tell you Monica is by far the best person I have ever been to for therapy. She has also helped find a proper medication match for my needs in little time. She doesn’t treat me like just some other patient and go through the standard routines. She matches my level and builds understanding. She meets me at my current state. She treats me like a real human being with real needs. I can truly feel that she wants to help me and see me succeed. At this stage, she feels like a really supportive friend with professional experience. I am very grateful to have come across Conscious Practice. With Monica’s wisdom, kindness, and understanding—I am headed in the right direction.”
— “Miles,” age 39
“Thanks to a combination of ART and ketamine assisted therapy, I’ve become so much better at setting boundaries and articulating those boundaries, observing them myself and maintaining them even when they get crossed by me or the other person.
“I’m also learning to see relationships for what they are, instead of either despairing over them for not being what I wish they were or abandoning them altogether.
“I highly recommend working with Monica!”
—“Carrie,” age 42
“Excellent help processing and meeting changing needs. Highly recommend!!!”
— “Alyssa,” age 33
