Hi I am Monique! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I am a Certified Anxiety Treatment Professional and Mindfulness I Practioner. I work with people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress disorder, transitions, and a vairety of other issues. A client may want to learn about communication skills, life skills, and how to learn acceptance. I also help with treatment planning including the use of emotional support animals and psychiatric service dogs to reduce sympotoms. I provide telehealth through audio, video or text messaging options. I work in multiple States providing therapy. Those States are, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, and Virginia. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, conflict, and crisis situations along with transitions which include divorce, work issues, and adjustment, with couples, teens, young adults, individuals and families while using systemic and positive approaches. Possible Emotional Support animal options. Focus on a holistic and collaborative experiences ensuring clients needs are met by supporting their goals in a safe and empathetic environment.
Clients can expect an open and communicative first meeting. We will discuss a client's goals and learn more about each other to make sure the client is comfortable with me and with the therapy. This happens through asking questions about life, their symptoms, treatments they may have already tried, and what has gotten in their way in the past. I use empathy and compassion in a non-judgmental approach.
My goal is to be a guide for clients. Therapy is all about client's needs. By being open and empathetic, I can help create a plan that is unique to each person's needs. I have great success with helping client's get relief from symptoms and situations. This is due to using approaches that are client centered.
I love working with young adults and those going through transitions or those who have not found the tools or options to feel better in their life, work, or school situations. My clients are eager to improve, and just need some additional guidance. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about themselves or their lives. Many client's are athletes, those in the medical field, business executives, and performers/influencers.
I work with a multitude of modalities to create unique client based treatment. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Thearpy, Strength-Based Therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution Focused Therapy.
Working with clients from a lens of understanding their story. This is a humanistic approach where the client guides therapy.
Solution Focused Brief Therapy is a way to work through some issues in less time. SFBT provides new ways of thinking, helps to question why we think as we do, and helps to change the pattern of thinking.
Exposure response therapy can be used for OCD, and anxiety. It helps clients learn to go towards their fears in a more focused way with steps and reframing of thoughts and behaviors. I also use mindfulness as part of this treatment.
Using an integrative approach with mindfulness as a core component, Client will learn how to be present in a moment, this helps a client learn to let go of anxiousness, worry, and negativity. Mindfulness can be used with adults and children and can help to create a better sense of self.

Monique is very thorough in her approach during our conversations - she gets to the root and doesn’t let any stone go unturned! I really appreciate her perspective and her expertise. She shares many resources with me, which I also appreciate because I can continue my growth outside of our sessions. She recommended CertaPet to me, after I asked her about ESAs, and that proved to be effective for my new landlord. I’m looking forward to our future sessions together :)
