Monica Dehey, CSW
Compassionate Therapy for Children, Teens, and Adults
Life can feel overwhelming at times. You may be navigating anxiety, depression, overwhelming stress, relationship challenges, or a major life transition. Perhaps you're watching your child struggle emotionally or noticing that your teenager isn't quite themselves anymore. No matter what brings you here, you deserve support from someone who will truly listen.
Finding the right therapist is about more than choosing someone with experience. It's about finding someone who makes you feel comfortable enough to be yourself. Someone who sees your strengths, understands your challenges, and believes healing is possible.
As a therapist in Clinton, UT, Monica is passionate about helping children, teens, and adults feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change.

Meet Monica
Monica believes healing begins with genuine connection.
She understands that asking for help often feels vulnerable. Her goal is to create a calm, welcoming space where clients feel safe enough to be honest, explore difficult emotions, and discover new possibilities.
Clients often describe Monica as approachable, compassionate, and genuine. She believes people are far more than the struggles that bring them to therapy. Every person has strengths, resilience, and the capacity for growth, even when they cannot see it themselves.
Throughout her career in schools and community mental health, Monica has had the privilege of supporting children, teenagers, and families through some of life's most difficult moments. Those experiences reinforced something she already believed: healing happens through trust, collaboration, and meeting people exactly where they are.
Outside the office, Monica enjoys spending time with her family, taking road trips, cooking, building furniture, walking her dog, and exploring Utah's beautiful outdoors. As a mother of five, she understands that life is busy, imperfect, and full of unexpected challenges. Those experiences have strengthened her appreciation for healthy boundaries, self-care, flexibility, and finding joy in everyday moments.
Whether you're seeking therapy for yourself, your teenager, or your child, Monica hopes every client leaves therapy feeling more hopeful, more confident, and better equipped to navigate life's challenges.
