Auburn Psychotherapist Monica Erdosh, LCSW

With passion and compassion, my work as a therapist is about connecting with others.  Through this connection, we access the thoughts and feelings that make up the fabric of our individual lives.  I am honored daily to accompany my clients on their unique journeys through the joys and challenges of life.  My own life experience tells me that regardless of what we must face, we all long to experience joy and strive for a deeper sense of meaning.   Sometimes in our fast-paced lives, time to reflect, heal, explore and clarify is the most valuable gift one can give to the self.

They are many different approaches to healing and no one path is right for everyone. What matters is that we find a safe place to explore and untangle the cords that bind us to our traumas, affecting our lives in so many hidden ways. I am a holistic practitioner, believing deeply in our innate capacity to find our way to wholeness and vitality. I offer my full presence and believe deeply in the power of connection as a path to deepen self-awareness and expansion. Exploration of generational trauma along with learning about our unconscious and limiting belief systems paves the way to growth and deeper life satisfaction.

What I Offer

Therapy & Yoga in Auburn

Intimate Relationships

Intimate Relationships

Intimate relationships offer us profound opportunities for connection, growth, and transformation. In a safe, loving environment, we can open our hearts to one another, creating space for deeper intimacy and understanding. Partnerships often challenge us in ways that invite self-reflection, empathy, and growth. They require us to see the world through our partner’s eyes and to cultivate emotional regulation in the face of conflict.

In my therapy office, I offer a nurturing and supportive space where couples can explore both their strengths and struggles. Relationship work provides an opportunity to deepen your connection by learning how to communicate effectively and lovingly. I help couples build bridges between their individual worlds, ensuring that both partners feel heard, understood, and valued. Together, we work on transforming difficult conversations into opportunities for greater connection, where both individuals can express themselves while recognizing their own defenses.

 

Teens and Young Adults

Navigating the complexities of adolescence and early adulthood in today’s fast-paced, often uncertain world presents unique challenges. My approach with teens and young adults is rooted in compassion, understanding, and acceptance. I create a judgment-free space that encourages exploration of their experiences, dreams, fears, and aspirations.

It’s truly inspiring to witness the strengths, resilience, and wisdom young people possess as they face the world around them. My goal is to support them in discovering their unique path, building confidence, and believing in their own potential. In our work together, we explore effective ways to cope with difficult emotions, cultivate healthy relationships, and develop communication skills beyond the digital realm—skills that will serve them in all aspects of their lives.

 
Yoga classes

Yoga

After more than 25 years of yoga practice I finally found the teacher training program that spoke to me. I completed my 200 hour yoga teacher training program September 2024 through Channels of Healing. The breadth of this training provided the skills to teach yoga while also offering a deep connection to the more subtle and profound healing properties implicit in yoga.

Experience

I began my private practice in 2000 and have worked extensively with all age groups, including many years working with children and teens. While I no longer work with children I continue to love my work with individual teenagers and adults.

My interest in intimate relationship work has deepened throughout the years and I have been informed by many leaders in this rich and challenging field. As important as our intimate relationships are, they can also be a source of deep pain, disappointment and trauma. I believe in the power of deep presence as a therapist and guide. I have been trained and informed profoundly by Esther Perel, Hedy Schleiffer, Terry Real, Alexander Soloman and many other brilliant and innovative thinkers.

"Beyond right doing and wrong doing is a field. I will meet you there."

Fees

I take new clients on a limited basis and do not accept insurance at this time.

I am able to see clients both in person and through my telehealth platform, SimplePractice.

About Me

I take my work seriously but I love to laugh and play. Hopefully our work together will inspire laughter, playfulness and a renewed energy towards life. I love to be outdoors, whether riding my bike, running, hiking, backpacking or some other form of adventure. Life is meant to be lived, not endured. I believe in the power of silence, the healing of yoga, the value of friendship and above all, the necessity to love deeply and wholeheartedly.
