I had a pretty terrible experience as far as therapists go, honestly. Mona seemed disinterested at best through many of our sessions. Every once in a while I would say something that seemed to pique her curiosity but the majority of the time, she didn’t really appear to be paying attention. Mona would often text while I was talking and even took calls on occasion without as much as an apology. She also would spend a lot of time typing/looking at her iPad. At first I thought she was taking diligent notes until I had to repeatedly tell her about some of my traumas and important details about my life. She even forgot about the fact that my father died more than once which I brought up repeatedly before that in our sessions. She also seemed to like “name dropping” without giving actual names which I found to be not only unprofessional, but also made me feel as though I was unimportant in her eyes since she thought so highly about people with these titles. “The CEO did this...the dignitary did that...” I also was getting remarried which I had a lot of anxiety about since my first marriage was filled with years of emotional and physical abuse. Nearly every session for months leading up to the wedding I would talk about it. When I was gone for 3 weeks because of it, my next session she asked if I went on vacation. She had completely forgotten or had not even paid attention to the fact that I was remarrying. That’s when I finally decided to find another therapist. In addition to my therapy sessions, the billing experience was nightmarish. I’m very particular about paying bills on time so it was very alarming to receive notices in the mail that I was past due for weeks at a time more than once. When I contacted the company she used to do her billing they told me that she had not given them notice of the payments I’ve made despite the fact that my checks were cashed very quickly. These issues only got worse after I stopped seeing her and took months to work out. I really should have paid attention to the red flags from the beginning but I was in a severe depression and had very low self esteem at the time which is why I went to see her in the first place. I kept debating on whether or not to write this but felt it best to share my experiences since they were very damaging to me. I would feel terrible if others went through it as well because I didn’t speak up about it.

Mona is a great Therapist. I enjoy going to her because she is very personable and easy to talk to. She listens very intently when I am speaking which helps me to feel that she really understands my story. What I like also is that Mona has an extensive background in therapy. She has practiced for a very long time and across multiple disciplines and often draws upon this extensive background when I am seeking a little guidance. This I find especially helpful. All-in-all, Mona has been very helpful to me. I am glad to have her as my therapist and I would happily recommend her to others.

Mona is great! She helped my wife and I reconnect with each other. We were starting to drift apart and couldnt seem to change course on our own. Mona helped us understand and appreciate just how special our relationship is. Thanks Mona!

Mona has been God send for my husband and I. We were newlyweds experiencing issues in what we thought was one area. But therapy with Mona showed us there were a couple of combined and individual areas we needed help with. We have two different personalities and Mona knows how to speak to both. Through our sessions with Mona and being intentional about the work and communication needed, we have been able to fix the one issue and get better in the other areas. Marriage isnt easy but therapy with Mona definitely helps resolve/talk through issues that could prevent you from having a healthy marriage. To be balanced, we have had issues with billing and noticed other things but overall they have been minor. We understand no one is perfect but she is for sure effective!

We have worked with Ms. Gobrail for 10+ years and she is fantastic. She has helped every person in my family both as individuals and as a group. we have complete trust in her. In addition, we have also recommended her to several other people - and they also give her A+ marks.

2020, what a year! I want to take a minute and be thankful for the experiences and the people I met. One of them is Dr. Mona Gobrail. She came to my life when I was feeling very restless and lost. She helped me with finding the path and clarity of thoughts. Thank you!

What a GREAT experience for my family. I love Monas approach to therapy, her medical background and her approach have helped us improve our relationships all around. I have referred folks to her for family therapy as a result of our progress and will continue to do so,

My experience with Mona was mixed. When we were discussing issues I was facing that Mona felt were important or interesting, she was very involved and had good insights and suggestions. At those times, I found her very helpful. However, if what we were discussing was not interesting to her, she would barely pay attention. Instead, she would scroll through her ipad, not looking at me or listening and on several occasions she even fell asleep. Id purposely stop talking to see if she would even notice. Then she would usually chime in with a question about something I had already discussed. As someone who deals with depression and self-esteem issues, I found this deeply hurtful and even damaging. I shouldve ended the sessions with Mona long before I did - after they stopped being beneficial.

Mona is a compassionate, caring, and effective counselor who is living out her purpose in this life to help people and transform lives. My husband and I began going to her during a very difficult and dark moment in our marriage. Back then, I never, ever imagined we would be where we are today. Our marriage has been transformed into a healthy, happy, and loving relationship. Mona taught us healthy relationship skills, how to communicate with each other, and gave us tools to really learn about and understand each other. Equally important, Mona has also helped us grow individually. Monas unique and exceptional abilities as a counselor allowed me to see and understand myself differently and truly appreciate how my experiences throughout life have made me the person I am. If you are in any turmoil or just need maintenance counseling, Mona is a gem and you will not regret going to her. I have referred several friends and family members and none have ever been disappointed with her care. I just cannot say enough good things about Mona.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Gobrail for a month and she’s been amazing! She is so genuine and sincere. She is available 7 days a week, over 12 hours of the day. Dr. Gobrail has many certifications and licenses through a variety of institutions which allows her to work with clients in many different aspects.I asked a few friends for therapist recommendations and Dr. Gobrail came up well recommended across the board. At first, I went in for marriage help. However, Dr. G was able to quickly figure out where the problems were. She started seeing my husband and I separately and together. She has helped me in multiple ways as a wife, but also as an individual. Oftentimes I find myself thinking, “I can’t wait to see Dr. G, I can’t wait to tell her this.” I’m just in the beginning of my time with Dr. G but I’m definitely looking forward to see what else we work on together.Highly recommend her to everyone! Even if you’re fine, I still recommend that you see a therapist, especially Dr. G so she can help guide you in a professional and experienced way!

In general, it can be a hard task to find a therapist that you can entrust your mental health to. I highly recommend Dr. Mona because she is very attentive, passionate, and logical in her analysis and process. She works long hours, Monday through Sunday because she truly loves what she is doing and enjoys helping people reach their best potential. If you are honest with yourself and her, you can start to notice improvement in your life after a few sessions. She utilizes a unique approach and tools that have been extremely effective in my treatment.

My wife and I came to Dr. Gobrail to work on our strained marriage and couldnt be happier with the results.Before starting I was concerned because my wife and I are very different personality types. After a couple sessions we realized it wouldnt be an issue. Dr. Gobrail starts by gaining a deeper understanding of each person, then begins to bridge the gap between a couples communication styles. Its incredible how much conflict a relationship can have because the couple doesnt understand each other on a deeper level.We would switch between couples sessions and individual sessions, which helped her dive further into specific areas of conflict. I started to discover how much anxiety dominated my life and how it created conflict in my family. Each session we dove deeper, implementing strategies and reflecting on results as we went along.Over a handful of months the anxiety has melted away. Home life is wonderful and we are more grateful than we have been in years. My wife and I put in the work, but it was being able to dissect each issue with Dr. Gobrail that allowed us to fix the issues that we couldnt seem to resolve alone--many issues which we didnt know existed below the surface. We are very thankful for her help.

The caring and support received for both myself and my family is incredible. Dr. Gobrail is an active listener and has empowered me with the skills and techniques required to change my thinking and attitudes towards myself and the world in general. I would recommend her without question.

When I started working with Mona three years ago I was experiencing problems at work and in my marriage. Due to the mental space I was in I made decisions and responded from a place of anger (which was masking fear, depression and other unresolved incidents in my life). While in that space I had no peace at home and missed two opportunities for advancement at work.My journey has taken longer than a society filled with self-help products led me to believe it would. However, meeting consistently with Mona and obtaining her guidance with evaluating my thought patterns, seeing my situation through a realistic lens and changing my responses has led to my harmony in my marriage and transforming my relationships at work.If you are looking for a knowledgeable professional who can help you evaluate the challenges at your core and help coach new behaviors, Mona will be an excellent choice.

Mona has been a tremendous source of support and guidance for me. She has helped me work through challenges both at home and work. I feel very blessed to have her in my life.

Ms. Mona is truly living out her purpose here on earth. She is a true servant to her clients and gives her all in every session. Ms. Mona holds me accountable and pushes me to be the best me that I can be. I highly recommend her.

I don’t typically write reviews unless I’ve had an extreme experience—either positive or negative. I had been seeing Mona for over a year and during that time, I would say I’ve experienced both. On the positive side, Mona was able to help my husband and I understand our marital challenges, provide clarity to the context under which those challenges developed, and find ways to work through and beyond those challenges. Since she is the first and only therapist that we have seen, it is difficult to tell if these outcomes would have also been achieved under a different therapist. Nonetheless, our time with her doing couple’s counseling was well spent and I have no regrets. However, on the negative side, Mona is a one women shop—providing the services, client communication, and scheduling. This is not unusual in this profession, but I realized that I would rather work with someone who has a better separation between the business side and the therapy side—or at least with someone who is better able to effectively play both roles without damaging the client/therapist relationship. In Mona’s case, she only communicates in-between session via text messages. Because her days are typically scheduled tightly, the communication is squeezed in whenever she has a moment to response. As a result, her tone can come across clipped, harsh, and sometimes argumentative. My last interaction with her was a text argument about scheduling. Since then, I’ve had several other practicing therapists review the text exchange and they have all been concerned about her tone. Expressing that a therapist who has developed a long term and productive relationship with a client would not have used such a tone or responded in such a way. Their comments reinforced my feeling that I’ve always been just a “filled time slot,” a composite of a client, and not an actual individual. This approach might help Mona manage her caseload, but for me (as the client) it is not something that I would like to be overtly aware of. Additionally, be aware that her days are long and the later you schedule in the evening the greater the likelihood that she will be nodding off her your session.

Dr. Gobrail is a godsend. She is very professional, insightful and she is invested in helping her clients arrive at a place of wholeness. The thing I like the most about her is her balanced perspective and holistic approach (I’m a tough critic because of my own education and psychology background). Through her guidance, I’ve seen improvement in my marriage as well as my own mental health. I came to her as a referral and have since recommended numerous people to her. They and I have had the most impactful experience with her and will continue to recommend her services to others.

I had never seeked out professional help from a counselor before until I met Dr. Gobrail. My husband and I were in a really rough place, and didnt know how to move forward. With the guidance and support of Dr. Gobrail, we worked with her on a weekly basis over a few months, until we had not only healed our marriage, but worked on making our dreams a reality through actionable items and prioritizations. The whole process opened up our eyes to what is possible with a counselor who cares about the couple both individually and together, as well as if an individual is open to try some of the recommendations she suggested, what is possible.Personally speaking, Dr. Gobrail was extremely accommodating schedule wise, and worked with both of our schedules (mornings and evenings and weekends) when possible. I also had direct and prompt response time to Dr. Gobrail via texts that made her accessible. Our appointments were always on time, and ended on time. She is extremely polite, candid, and professional, and I am thankful for the time we spent with her.

Luckily the first counselor we scheduled with flaked and we found Mona. Through our year of working together Mona has been frank, open, challenging and a great resource for my marriage. She has been able to connect with my husband and I on different levels. If you are looking for a talented and passionate marriage/family counselor, she is your woman! Also, her hours are super flexible.

Mona has changed my life. I have recommended her to family and close friends, and each of them have mentioned how productive their time with her has been. In just one year, there have been enormous shifts in my mental health, my lifestyle, my productivity, my self-concept, and my relationships. Mona has assisted me in every regard, and I have the utmost gratitude for her services. She has been such a blessing to me.

Not recommended! Terrible billing system! I came in to pay an outstanding bill of $25 because she does not accept credit cards, only checks or cash- which I have not written a check in over 3 years! After waiting in the waiting area for over 30 minutes I went to pay with Cash. Mona was extremely rude and told me Youre waisting my $150 hour fee for $25.00 ....Wow!You can also hear her talking to her patients from the waiting area!

I have been working with Mona for 4 1/2 years. I came to her a very different person than I am today. She spent so much of her time helping me see things in a new way and I learned so much about myself through the process. I’m a happier whole person with deeper connections to the people in my life. I’ve found a peace that can not be taken from me because it’s rooted deeply inside of who I am.

I dont know where to begin with Mona. She is an incredible therapist and an even better person. She helped me navigate through some of the darkest times in my life, and I will be forever indebted to her patience, empathy, and insight. Thank you, Mona.

I have been seeing Mona for over 3 years now. She is a great listener and is able to get to the root of my insecurities and problems. She has helped me become a better person and feel more confident in myself. Im very thankful for her guidance and support. I have recommended her to others and will continue to do so.

I have been seeing Dr.Gobrail for over 5 years and it has worked miracles in my life . She has helped me grow and build a strong foundation socially, financially, and emotionally. I would not be as successful and emotionally stable as I am today with out her amazing support and insight. I HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who needs it.. problems big or small, she is there to help!

Mona was my first experience with a therapist. I’ve had several friends who’ve done therapy elsewhere. Not only does she listen, but she helps you get to the root of the problem and fix/cope with it (something that is rare in therapy). She has saved my marriage and my sanity!!! After seeing things in my life change, I’ve had several friends ask me for her number! I cannot express enough how wonderful she is, and how grateful I am for all she has done for me!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Working with Mona has had a tremendously positive effect on my life. She has helped me recognize those habits and things that were keeping me from reaching my potential, and has helped me develop a framework for moving past them. I am a better person, and my home and work life have significantly improved with Monas counsel.

As most men like me and in contrary to women, it is difficult for us to express ourselves. For number of years my wife asked me to go and see a marriage counselor and I always refused. Could not come to terms that someone who does not even know me can help and guide me in my marriage affairs. What does he/she know about my background, my life principals and more importantly the values that I practice in everyday life so be able to advise me.And when my marriage hit at the bottom, I had no choice but seeing one to save 35 years of energy, sacrifice and love that I put in for this marriage of mine. So, when I visited my marriage counselor who was referred to me through work place, and after few sessions, all my thoughts regarding counseling was validated. Not only he could not help me, but he made things more difficult.I think it was God’s doing, that somehow put my pat to know Dr. Mona Gobrail. From the first day, I knew I found someone who really can help both of us and in four short months she was able to turn our marriage from a definite divorce to a status that I have not experienced in all married life of mine. Let me just simply say that it is better now than when I was engaged to my wife.Today, I consider Mona as my blood relative, a sister that helped me more than my own even though I love my sisters dearly. Mona is someone that if you ever have the privilege of meeting her, she would turn your life to the possibilities that you never thought they existed. She listens and through her years of education and experience educate you and that is when you realize how you wished knowing her number of years ago, so you would not be in status that you are now.I am not wring all the above to recommend her to you, but to her, to thank her for what she did and doing for my wife and I. This is just the beginning for me and there is so much to learn from her not just for marriage but for all aspects of life. I sincerely hope she would continue seeing me with her busy work schedule for years to come. I don’t think there has been a session with her that I have not learn new possibilities. Mona, thank you so much. You are the best there is.

Therapy is hard and it causes one to be introspective, so you need a therapist like Mona who will really help you explore and ask yourself the tough questions. She is excellent! I have referred people without reservation. She has helped me unlock hidden barriers and face them head on, I have learned a lot about myself, my strengths and weaknesses and it’s helped me be a better me! She gives homework and reinforces techniques that will help you cope and breakthrough.”

This is my first choice for therapy and treatment period. I love this practice!!!!!! I can truly say that Dr. Gobrail have changed my life for forever! Dr. Gobrail is very intelligent, transparent, honest, and full of life! The office décor is very warm and comforting.

My life has changed through the guidance and counseling of Mona Gobrail! I am a better wife, mother, student, daughter, sister, friend and employee because I met and allowed Mona to walk with me through painful areas in my life. Im convinced shes God-sent and wants healing for me just as much as I do. She has an amazing gift of facilitating healing to the broken.

We highly recommend Mona. We came to her as a newly married couple as a last resort after failed attempts with other therapists. Mona took the time to really understand us individually and then as a couple which helped identify our varying personalities and why we were so indifferent on so many levels. She helped us develop and strengthen our communication skills which when we first came to her, were extremely minimal and caused much stress in our relationship. As a husband, I was skeptical that therapy was the answer and to be honest thought of it as silly. I was very guarded at first but she helped to break down those walls. As a wife, I’ve been to numerous therapists and left feeling tremendous anxiety and doubts about my relationship. She was the first therapist I’ve been to that made sense out of things with me and really changed my life for the better. We truly believe she saved our such new marriage and couldn’t thank her enough for taking the time to understand and work with us and provide the tools we needed to become a better couple on our own. We would recommend her to any of our friends and family; she’s had such a positive impact on our lives and we are at the happiest we’ve ever been because of her.-Rachel & Justin

A fantastic therapist! I have been a client for years due to dealing with 24/7 pain from nerve damage. She has taught me many coping skills and how to keep a positive attitude no matter the problem I am dealing with. She also helped me to deal with the death of my husband of 27 years two years ago. I would definitely recommend Mona as a therapist to anyone. She really listens to you and helps you to develop your own solutions to handling whatever problems you are dealing with in life.

Dr. Mona helped me get through one of the hardest times in my life. My father was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and pasted way 4 months after his diagnosis. I highly recommend her services, she’s wonderful.

Mona, reflecting on last night - I thought our conversation was a perfect blend of the reasons I sought you out to begin with (confusion, anxiety, insecurity), to the discoveries we made, to eventually clear resolutions, and the path forward. I feel stronger and almost back to the indestructible person thought I once was. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I’ve been seeing Mona for over 3 years and she is an excellent therapist and highly recommended.

Mona is very professional and accommodating. I would highly recommend her!!!!

Mona is a terrific counselor ( I dont understand the 1 star ratings at all.) I have recommended her to several people and have yet to be disappointed.

Mona Gobrail is an excellent therapist and I recommend her without reservation.

I had a deeply negative experience working with Ms. Gobrail.

Mona is professional, kind, always able to make time, and challenges me when I’m ready.

Would not recommend.
