Kathleen Menocal, LCSW

She is truly personable and genuinely kind and very caring. She takes very good notes and remembers even the little details when it matters. You don’t just feel like another person on a list talking to someone who doesn’t care care. Working with her for almost a year, and my relationship has positively improved for the better!

Appointments were easy & comfortable over FaceTime. Kathleen was very adept at identifying my difficulties & offered helpful solutions.

Kathleen was the ideal person for me to talk to after everything I had been through. Her experience and expertise cover nearly any issue you might need to discuss. The kind and relaxed atmosphere she creates, even during telemedicine sessions, helps put you at ease. I highly recommend Kathleen Menocal to anyone looking to work through their challenges.

Kathleen was referred by a friend. We've been talking for about a month now. She's so good at listening and connecting...I wish I had been able to start talking with her sooner! She knows her stuff, is helping me so much already, and is giving me different tools to help my family!

Kathleen genuinely cares and it comes through! With her encouragement and patient guidance, I’m learning to identify issues and put solutions into practice. Also, she’s very knowledgeable… stays up with the latest training in the field of counseling

Kathleen is a compassionate and caring person. She is very easy to work with.

Very Caring and supportive

Dr. Menocal is an excellent therapist. She is caring and understanding, and provides skills and guidance for me. I highly recommend her.

The best compliment that I can give is that I’ve referred friends to Kathleen. I’ve been working with her for over a year and she’s been incredibly helpful to my healing. For those of you looking for help healing from emotional trauma, she has been a key factor in my recovery and healing. Has worked with me through parenting as a signal parent as well as starting a new relationship post divorce. She has a lot of experience to draw from and is very compassionate and empathetic. After speaking with her the first time to set up the initial appointment, I knew I was in good hands.

Always on time. Listens and understands me. Gives suggestions that really work to improve my life.

I had therapy with Kathleen about two years ago. I rarely ever post reviews, but my experience is something that is hard to forget and almost traumatic. Although I had high hopes, my experience was disappointing. She seemed dismissive and unengaged during our sessions, often prioritizing a rigid structure over my personal concerns. Her communication with my parents felt unbalanced, as she very clearly favored my father over my mother. Despite my struggles with diagnosed severe anxiety and depression, stemming from being bullied in middle school, Kathleen’s advice was detrimental. For instance, when I expressed my fear of math and desire to overcome it, she suggested I avoid math-related careers instead of encouraging a growth mindset. After just five sessions, she labeled me a narcissist and dismissed me from therapy, making a judgment that felt permanent and unfounded. I believe a therapist should be someone who listens and supports, not one who labels clients as 'lost causes.'

We have used Kathleen for marriage counseling for over a year... She is very understanding and has provided us some excellent advice. She sees both sides of situation and has helped us resolve many issues. I highly recommend her.

I’ve been a patient of Kathleen for over a year. She has a softer approach compared to other therapist I’ve seen over the years but she is very encouraging while still holding me accountable when I need it. I’m going through an incredibly difficult chapter in my life and I feel well supported and safe confiding in Kathleen.

She is an insightful listener and has the ability to laser focus on the situation. She is, above all, empathetic and helpful. To summarize, she is a gifted healer and kind professional.

Katheleen has a very caring & soothing personality. She is so nice. It’s like talking to a friend you’ve known for a long time. She recommended help in a specific area that has been a tremendous help. She is appreciated very much for caring about me and my journey to healing.

Kathleen is a very compassionate person. I've been seeing her off and on for 15 or so years. She know so much about bi-polar disorder. Which helped me as a parent to understand how the brain works for different people. She always has books she recommends that have been a tremendous help.

Excellent experience with Kathleen Menocal's counciling sessions. She listens patiently, asks questions in a comfortable manner that helps you to open up and focus in on the root causes of your issues. Very empathetic and caring in her approach and I always looked forward to our sessions. Provides resources and reading material to work on between sessions. So thankful to her for helping me through a rough season of life and for such an excellent service to myself and our community.

Lovely therapist. I attend her sessions for a few problems and her advice, recommendations and strategies help me tremendously. She's very kind, and very good at compromising and listening to both sides.

After two marriage counselors who were helpful but did not inspire real change, we were blessed to find Kathleen. We have made tremendous progress with her in a relatively short period of time. She listens compassionately and offers insight based on her observations. She gives us "homework" to continue working on the relationship outside of counseling sessions and suggests relevant reading material that has been very helpful. I was surprised to read another reviewer say that she only listened and did not offer advice because Kathleen has given us many tools to help reach a deeper level of understanding of one another and to mitigate conflicts when they arise before they get out of control as well as what to do if they do get out of control. She has been there for us when we needed her at unexpected times and is very accommodating schedule-wise. I recommend her without reservation for anyone seeking to improve communication, understanding, and conflict resolution in their relationships.

As an individual suffering from panic attacks and a mental breakdown, Kathleen brought me back from a place of darkness and immobility. She is supportive, listens well, and makes suggestions based on what you are saying. Sometimes you need a person who is empathetic and kind to get you to a place where you can start to heal and take control of your life again. I was in crisis & she made time for me right away. She works in tandom with my psychiatrist, who is trying to find meds that will help me cope. I can tell she really cares about how I am doing & what I need to move on with my life. Thank you Kathleen. I couldn't have made it without you.
