EMILY MONROE, MA, LAC, NCC, Psychotherapist

OCD & Anxiety Therapy with Emily Monroe, LAC

Emily is a masters level psychotherapist specializing in OCD and anxiety treatment for adolescents and adults. Her experience in hospitals, group practices, and intensive outpatient programs helps her meet clients with compassion and an understanding of the challenges they face. She uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and exposure and response prevention (ERP) to help people experiencing OCD, anxiety, phobias, depression, and low self-esteem. She participates in weekly clinical consultation to continue developing her ERP skills.

What working with Emily looks like

You deserve more than a place to talk about what’s hard. Emily will take time to understand what you’re going through, what matters to you, and what you’d like to change. Together, you’ll build a practical plan and work on skills you can use beyond the therapy room.

For OCD and anxiety, that may mean learning to respond differently to distressing thoughts and gradually facing situations you’ve been avoiding. Emily brings warmth and encouragement to this active work, helping adolescents and adults move forward at a manageable pace.

Sessions and payment

Emily offers in-person sessions in Englewood, New Jersey, and secure virtual therapy. Her private-pay fee is $135 per 55-minute session. Private pay is a straightforward way to begin working with Emily, whether or not you plan to use insurance.

Emily is not individually in network with insurance plans. For some Aetna and Horizon BCBS PPO plans, we may be able to bill for her services through Dr. Wacha under the plan’s supervisory billing rules. We’ll review your specific coverage and expected cost with you before scheduling.
