Monica Massengale

Monica Massengale does not present herself merely as a therapist but as a source of support - someone people can talk to as they work toward greater purpose and happiness. She is licensed in Nebraska as a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner, credential NE LIMHP 2804, and brings four years of clinical experience to her work.

Monica aims to help individuals find balance and build a successful future by combining therapy with practical education. She focuses on teaching the skills clients need to support themselves, helping them move from struggle toward steadier footing.

She has experience addressing a wide range of symptoms and values getting to know each person she works with. Monica appreciates witnessing those revealing moments when someone has an “ah-ha” realization and begins to light up - she joins clients in doing the work and being present for their progress.

Monica volunteered in a hospice clinic for about one year, sitting with people in their final moments and working alongside families during a difficult time. That experience was especially meaningful to her and remains a central passion in her clinical interests.

She also spent almost two years at an addiction and homeless services center, facilitating groups and supporting individuals. While that setting was not her primary passion, it offered valuable professional growth and meaningful connections with colleagues.

For three years Monica worked at a therapy agency with families, survivors of abuse, and children, using trauma-focused processes to help clients manage symptoms and develop healthy coping skills. She chose to leave that position both because it was not the right long-term fit and because she wanted to be home more with her family.

Her therapeutic approach is non-judgmental, kind, gentle, and goal-driven. Monica helps people consider different perspectives, uncover answers they already hold, and apply rational steps toward change. She supports ongoing growth by acknowledging and validating both positive and difficult feelings, and by teaching clients to accept feelings as feelings rather than facts. Together with those she works with, Monica helps sort through challenges and move forward.
