Dr Stephanie Monaco, MD

“For weeks my partner had been accusing me of cheating on her, despite evidence that I am a very loyal partner. With Dr Monaco's help we quickly uncovered her past trauma from having been cheated on in a previous relationship and worked on ways to improve our relationship. Dr Monaco really helped us maintain our trust in one another!!!”

“It's been a rough 20 years. My two kids moved out and without anything to occupy my mind I began to fall out of love with my wife. We argued every single day and one day she told me she couldn't stand me anymore, and I had to get therapy or get out. When we started working with Dr. Monaco, I couldn't believe how thorough her approach was. She helped us get right to the root of our issues and connect again. My wife and I are planning to renew our vows in September. Dr. Monaco absolutely saved our marriage.”

“When we first got married, we were enthralled. We had been together for 6 years prior and this seemed like the perfect time to settle down and start a family. We moved into New York City following our marriage and soon after, we found that the space was too small to be divided evenly. We started to argue about whose belongings took up more space, who would do most of the housework, whether we had the budget to have children. These arguments divided us like never before. Eventually, a relative recommended Dr. Monaco to us. Through our work with Dr. Monaco, we realized we were projecting our past issues onto one another and not truly listening to one another, therefore invalidating one another’s feelings. As we became aware of this, we were eventually able to address our issues and work as a team rather than opposing parties. We turned a hopeless situation into a happier one and we are expecting our first child soon. Dr. Monaco is a wonderful couple's therapist, and we would highly recommend her to anyone experiencing relationship issues.”

“Dr. Monaco is such a good psychiatrist!! I work as an actress for an up and coming independent film company and recently I had received criticism for not being authentic enough. I began to look back on my past roles, wondering if I had ever been good enough. This was alongside the death of my grandmother, sending me down a spiral. As I began to isolate due to concern that nobody liked me, a friend reached out and suggested I see Dr. Monaco. I went for my first appointment and immediately Dr. Monaco recommended that I work on my self image, affirming my positive traits each day. I began to see immediate improvement in my behavior. As I continue my treatment with Dr. Monaco I have begun to recognize my own trauma responses in order to effectively combat them. I am thriving both in my business and personal lives, and I could not have done it without Dr. Monaco's help.”
