Monika Zawislak is a masters level clinician. She is a graduate of Dominican University with a double major in English and Psychology. Monika has experience working with children who have ADHD and background supporting women in treatment for substance abuse.

Monika enjoys reading and writing, which is why she developed a great passion for narrative therapy. She strongly believes that an individual can solve the problem and get a better understanding of who they are and who it is that they wish to become, by reflecting on the stories that they tell. When an individual separates themselves from the problem, they gain a different perspective, which gives them a different insight.
