Meet
Dr. Nick Monzon, Psy.D, SEP
Executive Clinical Director | Clinical Psychologist | Somatic Experiencing Practitioner
Hello, I’m Dr. Nick, a Doctor of Clinical Psychology, Trauma expert, and Founder of the Integrative Trauma Collective. My passion is helping people heal from the worst experiences of their lives through a holistic and gentle approach.
Every trauma is unique, which is why I tailor the healing process to each person and group I work with. Together, we listen to the wisdom of your body, untangle early wounds, and build safety in relationships that once felt impossible.
Sexual Trauma is another specialty which I began working with in 2012. I have a deep passion for helping people heal the invisible wounds that are left when someone violates us on such a personal level. Experiencing sexual trauma can leave us feeling trapped, isolated, and helpless. Many of us feel broken and unable to trust others after sexual trauma, which makes healing feel out of reach.
I also work with LGBTQIA+ clients, first-generation individuals navigating cultural trauma, and people living with neurodiversity or chronic suicidal thoughts—each holding their own pain story shaped by marginalization, silence, or survival.
My doctoral research explored how people psychologically respond to traumatic crime scenes, including the development of PTSD and depression. I’ve also presented nationally on nightmares related to sexual trauma and evidence-based ways to address them, along with my research on traumatic crime scenes.
My background includes treating trauma in high-intensity settings—from correctional facilities and hospitals to crisis units—giving me a steady hand when the pain feels too big, too overwhelming, or too chaotic to share.
At ITC, I work across all four branches of our collective:
Therapy: guiding individuals, couples, and families with somatic, psychodynamic, and mindfulness-based care.
Coaching & Wellness: facilitating embodied practices and retreats that connect people back to themselves and to community.
Workshops & Presentations: equipping teachers, parents, and community groups with nervous-system education and trauma-informed tools.
Corporate Consulting: helping leaders and organizations cultivate resilience, connection, and thriving workplace cultures.
Additional experiences I support include:
Healing Early Childhod Trauma
Navigating together through memories of experiences including emotional neglect, abuse or parental abandonment
Intergenerational Trauma
For BIPOC and 1st generation clients
Connecting With Others
Difficulties with connection, intimacy, or emotional expression
Self Worth
The impact of marginalization, identity conflict, or complex PTSD and chronic suicidal thoughts or self-harm
Healing may not happen all at once, but you don’t have to carry this alone.
“As a first-generation Asian American, I know personally how cultural expectations and silence can shape our pain. I carry this awareness into my work with deep respect for the resilience of marginalized communities.”
If any part of this resonates, I invite you to reach out.
Healing doesn’t begin with answers—it begins with being seen.
