Mona Darwich

Hi! I believe that everyone deserves to feel seen and heard. My background involves being from different cultures where East meets West, Brazil and Egypt and I have been in America past 29 years, yes I am a citizen. I live in the Tucson past 20 years and this is where I lived most of my life. I believe the experiences, training, lessons from life helps me walk alongside my clients sharing different perspective, education, ideas, empathy where the goal is for clients to feel they gained something from each session whether it is help with making a decision, education about anything that's important to the client, to learn a new skill or to understand themselves better. I have vast experience and training with trauma, autism, adhd, depression, anxiety disorders, panic attacks, schizophrenia, over 20 years of working with seriously mentally illnesses, addiction, neurodiversity, refugees, LGBTQ, HIV, refugees of Arabic speaking countries and other populations. I accidentally got into behavioral health services when I myself needed therapy and had no idea the array of services it provides. The intake lady told me, "Mona, you are good, apply with us and get a job as case manager." I worked as case manager, intake team coordinator and clinical supervisor for an outpatient clinic for over 10 years. I have also worked in corrections. And, the rest is history! Therapy for me is a massage to my soul where I connect with a therapist to gain insight and help with my goals. If you not sure if I have experience with your particular issue, just ask, give me a call.
