Monica Landolt White
Marriage & Family Therapist - LAMFT
I graduated from the University of British Columbia with a PhD in psychology. My focus was on understanding intimate relationships from an attachment perspective. I spent the next 10 years working for various non-profits managing and directing research, policy, and programs primarily supporting the psycho-social health of women, children and families.I realized that rather than focusing on creating change at a societal level through research and policy, I’d much rather direct my focus to those who need change the most–individuals, couples and families struggling with the problems that life throws at them.As a Therapist, I am interested in working with anyone needing support. However, I am particularly interested in working with individuals/couples facing difficulties becoming parents (e.g., infertility, adoption, miscarriage), post-partum issues (e.g., depression, anxiety, stress and coping), parenting challenges, and relationship concerns (e.g., work-life balance, infidelity and/or divorce).I work with individuals, couples and families struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, and all life transitions. I have a particular interest in helping women, couples and families deal with post-partum mental health concerns. (This is informed by my own experiences struggling with infertility, finally starting my family at an “advanced maternal age” and dealing with post-partum anxiety.)
