Ella Moniz, AMFT

Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist AMFT #164971
Supervised by Davida Taurek, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor

Accepting new Medi-Cal, insurance, and self-pay clients in-person at our Bernal Heights and Gough St offices or via Telehealth.

Everyone knows you as the person who’s easy to be around and always brings good energy, but behind that side of you are feelings you don’t often share. You feel constant worry, have days when everything feels heavy, can't shake memories of past mistakes, or even feel like you’re simply not enough. Maybe a breakup or a rocky relationship has you wondering why the same patterns keep repeating. You’re not looking to be handed answers. You want a steady place to sort out who you are and what kind of life you want, and to feel less alone while you do.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, shame, and life transitions. My style is collaborative and flexible. I remember the details, reflect back what I hear, and ask what sits beneath the first feeling, like the hurt under the anger. We’ll check in often on what’s landing and what isn’t.

Therapy with me isn’t about being told what to do or performing progress. It’s a calm, honest space where you’re the expert on your own life, and humor is welcome. Whether you’re carrying shame, grief, or a mistake you can’t forgive yourself for, you don’t have to carry it alone. When you’re ready, I’d be glad to hear from you.
