Dr. Gary P. Monkarsh & Associates

I was Dr. Monkarsh's patient for two years, and it was the best gift I have given myself.  He helped me change my life entirely and I am grateful for his services.  There is no price tag that can repay him for helping me transform from sad and feeling hopeless in a challenging long-term marriage to now being happy, strong, energetic, goal-oriented, and enthusiastic about life.  I am my "old self" once again.  That is priceless.I am of Hispanic-American ethnicity, and seeking therapy is a cultural "taboo" in my family.  Yet, after over 22 years in a very difficult marriage and extreme unhappiness I knew that I needed professional help that could help me get clarity.  It was with trepidation that I entered his office, and I immediately realized that Dr. Monkarsh was professional, an excellent listener, genuine, compassionate and yet straight-forward in a gentle manner. He asked me open-ended questions, without judgment, that made me think of my situation and how I could solve challenges.  Because I am a task-oriented individual, he gave me weekly assignments and we picked up from there each session.  It was not easy to do the soul-searching and face hard areas of my life, but he never gave up on me and he genuinely cared. He was a non-biased clinical psychologist who was honest with me, even when it was difficult. He was the confidential professional that I needed to help me transform my life. I felt safe, respected and not alone. Dr. Monkarsh is now working with my 23-year old daughter and he is helping her with the same care and professionalism he offered me as his past patient.  As a mom, I am extremely grateful for the help he is providing her and I feel relieved and at peace that my daughter is receiving his services. My daughter and I do not discuss their sessions and I respect her privacy, yet I see the positive changes in her life through her work with Dr. Monkarsh as well.I am fortunate to have been Dr. Monkarsh's patient. My only regret is that I had not worked with him decades before.

As a person who has struggled with ADHD their whole life, finding quality care can be difficult. Dr. Monkarsh is everything that I could ask for in a psychologist. His office is warm and inviting. You feel immediately at ease; Almost as if you are having a discussion in your own living room. His assessments are thorough and informative. Mine covered many different cognitive and personality disorder possibilities. The outcome was both expected (ADHD) and unexpected in the sense that he was able to uncover other possible issues. The treatment plan is in depth and personalized, without feeling over the top. He went to great lengths to help and is clearly in this for the right reasons. That is crucial and it is sad to know that many aren't. If you are looking for assistance, do yourself a favor and see Dr. Monkarsh. He is worth every bit!
