A Space for Healing and Growth

Tannenbaum Counseling draws its inspiration from the evergreen tree, a symbol of enduring life, hope, and renewal. Just as the evergreen remains steadfast through changing seasons, we walk alongside individuals, couples, and families through life's struggles, offering compassionate care rooted in faith and professional expertise. My mission is to help clients experience healing, growth, and the promise of new life as they discover hope and wholeness in the midst of life's challenges.

Recurring experiences of anxiety, sadness, fear, anger, or addictive behaviors can be signs that the mind, heart, and spirit are longing for healing, restoration, and hope.

Welcome to a therapeutic environment designed to honor your journey. Together, we will navigate the complexities of life with compassion and clarity.

"...hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us."

Romans 5:5
A solitary tree in a misty landscape

About Me

Monika Zoeller-Wiese, LPC

My approach to counseling is rooted in a holistic understanding of the human person, drawing upon evidence-based psychological practices integrated with the rich insights of Catholic Christian theology and philosophy. Central to my work is the belief that every person is inherently good, created in the image and likeness of God, and endowed with a natural capacity for growth, healing, and flourishing.

I seek to help clients cultivate greater freedom, self-understanding, and well-being by fostering healthy habits, meaningful relationships, and constructive patterns of thought, behavior, and communication. I believe that healing involves the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—and that authentic growth is supported by both sound therapeutic practices and a deeper connection to what gives life meaning and purpose. For those who desire it, faith can be an important source of strength, healing, and hope. Personally, I have found God's love to be the enduring source of healing, guidance, and support in my own life.

I am married and the mother of three children. Outside of my professional work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, exploring different cultures, being in nature, listening to music, and prayer.
