About me
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, as well as a Licensed Independent Substance Abuse Counselor since 2001. I also hold the National Counseling Certification from the National Board of Certified Counselors. I have worked with couples with a wide range of concerns including depression, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I have been happily married since 2003, and so my professional as well as personal experience may be helpful as we discuss what is important to you as a couple.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life together and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. It is my honor to be here for you!
I look forward to meeting you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Monika Cheang. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
We really like working with Monika.
She is fair and listens. She doesn't just sit on the fence the entire time.
Extremely knowledgeable and professional. Shows no bias with us but still approaches both of us in an individualized way to help with our own “issues” within our relationship. Highly recommend and encourage others to choose her as their therapist.
Love Monika! I saw her during quarantine and loved her then I had some new issues come up so I came back 2 years later. Will keep going to her for life. She’s very helpful. Hands down best therapist I’ve ever seen.
Monika has been great. Very personable, listening, easy to talk to, sends helpful information in between sessions, and very responsive through the platform. Her experience is exactly what I needed.
She is very pationate
She is amazing and deserves a raise
She helped my fiance and I a lot! We've been able to overcome a lot of issues and is open and friendly.
She’s great! She listens very well, sets achievable goals, offers realistic advice and is great at responding quickly.
