This Month's Program
DR. MONA KUMAR will describe her therapeutic approach to working with individuals and couples. Dr. Kumar is a psychodynamically trained therapist with several years of post-graduate training. According to psychodynamic theory much of what motivates our thoughts, feelings, and behavior lies outside our conscious experience. By bringing this knowledge to the surface, we become better able to respond to situations with intentionality rather than reflexively. Psychodynamic therapy also emphasizes the importance of the relationship with the therapist. It is through our relationships with others that we discover parts of ourselves. Through the intimate relationship that develops in therapy, clients move toward greater wholeness and authenticity. Thus, through both insight and self-awareness, clients learn to disrupt dysfunctional patterns and live more fulfilling lives.
Dr. Kumar is a clinical psychologist in Pasadena, California. She has over 20 years of experience providing both individual and couples therapy and specializes in working with adults in their 30’s and 40’s. Many of Dr. Kumar’s clients seek therapy in response to conflict in their relationships. Dr. Kumar works with her clients to help them gain insight into their conflict, develop empathy for each other, and communicate more effectively. Dr. Kumar approaches therapy with the client’s goal in mind. Some clients come to therapy to improve their relationship while others seek to uncouple with greater civility. Dr. Kumar provides both virtual and in-person therapy to clients residing in California and supervises post-doctoral clinicians at the Rose City Counseling Center in Pasadena.

My professional life has been spent being of service and making an impact where it matters most. I began in the health care industry where I diligently worked to help underserved and vulnerable communities receive access to health care services. I then went on to work as a divorce and family mediator, applying my calm, level headed and solution based skills as a certified divorce financial analyst to shepherd couples from tumultuous times to greener pastures. From there I parlayed my previously acquired talents as a supportive and understanding advocate of change and found my true calling as a Financial Advisor with Edward Jones.
I pledge to offer empowerment and authority to plan for a better, brighter and safer tomorrow. I educate and work with my clients to create financial freedom, relief, comfort, security and hope on the road to getting a grasp on their financial future. I’m always looking ahead and am passionate about helping my clients create their dreams through smart and actionable financial planning.
As an Edward Jones Advisor, I operate from a place of eternal abundance and gratitude. My goal is to be an ongoing, valuable resource and to create long lasting client relationships. I will help guide you to a comfortable mental place where you can make informed and smart decisions regarding your financial stability. I serve by being an empathetic, active listener, and a safe harbor for those seeking answers, security and a healthy financial life. I believe it’s important to invest my time to truly understand what’s most important to you in order to understand what you’re working toward, and to balance the risks and rewards associated with investments that you’re comfortable accepting.
I believe in a healthy work-life balance and enjoy family time with my wife, Esther, and my identical twin sons, Daniel and David who, graduated from Eagle Rock High School and are attending my alma mater (so proud of them, Roar Lions Roar!). The great outdoors, sports, travel, and creating memories and experiences are my most treasured pastime. My ability to always be level headed and optimistic, especially in the middle of conflict and life changing events, has been essential in helping me be a good husband, father and Financial Advisor.
