Monica Provence, LMFT
Founder and Clinical Director, The Good Practice
CA Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist #87245
OR Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist #T1843
Since 2012, Monica Provence has been dedicated to building an affirmative practice that brings in-depth, contemporary, and relational psychotherapy to the community. She fosters therapeutic relationships that encourage clients to process and fully experience their emotions, move through depression and anxiety, and reframe negative thoughts and patterns with a deeper understanding of their origins. In her work, she engages clients bravely—and often playfully—with unexamined thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
Monica's practice is guided by values that prioritize queer-positive and trans-affirming care, sex- and body-positivity, and a commitment to dismantling internalized oppression while addressing privilege and power within the therapeutic relationship. Rooted in feminism, social justice, and intersectionality, her goal is to provide competent, contemporary, and informed therapy for those she serves.
She works with individuals, couples, and families on topics such as sexual and gender identity, coming out, non-traditional relationships and families, polyamory and negotiating open relationships, BDSM and D/s dynamics. Monica has a passion for working with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, genderqueer, and non-binary individuals and their loved ones, providing a supportive and affirming space for exploration and growth.
