About
RESILIENT FLOW THERAPY
Specialized psychological treatments for OCD, Anxiety, and Trauma
For adults and teens
Bay Area and across California, In-person and Online
Within every struggle lies the potential for resilient transformation.
Resilience is not a trait, but a journey—one that flows through challenge and emerges in growth.
Freedom from anxiety is found in the gentle flow of acceptance and awareness.
Healing begins when we embrace our brain’s ability to reshape itself with every new thought, feeling, and experience.

Dr. Monika Telichowska, Psy.D.
Clinical Psychologist
Welcome! I founded Resilient Flow Therapy out of a deep commitment to helping people navigate the challenges of OCD, overwhelming anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms. My practice is built on the transformative truth that you can learn to respond to your thoughts and feelings in new, empowering ways.
I have been working in the mental health field since 2006, and my journey has given me the privilege of supporting children, teens, and adults across a variety of clinical settings. My extensive experience includes working at California Pacific Medical Center, St. Helena Hospital, Mills College Counseling Center, and Bay Area community-based clinics such as Richmond Child and Adolescent Services, RAMS, Inc., and Ann Martin Center. For more than 10 years, I have also provided psychotherapy in private practice, helping individuals and families build resilience and discover meaningful change.
I believe that it is often through life’s most difficult moments and painful struggles that we become open to transformation and growth. If you’re feeling unsure about therapy, I invite you to approach this process with curiosity and openness—especially if other avenues haven’t brought relief. Psychotherapy offers a safe, honest, and nonjudgmental space to develop effective coping strategies, problem-solving and relational skills, and a deeper awareness of yourself and your connections with others. It is a place to nurture self-compassion and reignite motivation to pursue your goals and dreams.
I understand that building trust and feeling comfortable with your therapist is essential, and that this connection takes time. My approach is collaborative, active, compassionate, and deeply attuned to your unique needs. I strive to create a welcoming environment that embraces your personal preferences and honors your sociocultural identity, including cultural, sexual, gender, ethnic, racial, religious, and spiritual backgrounds.
Using specialized, evidence-based therapies such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness, I offer practical tools to help you step back from intrusive thoughts and intense emotions. Together, we’ll create space for clarity, courage, and meaningful change.
If you’re ready to move beyond struggle and step into a life of resilience and flow, I would be honored to walk alongside you on this journey. Let’s connect and discover what’s possible, together.
