Monique Smith
I’m Monique Smith, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, individualized mental health care. I work with children, adolescents, and adults through convenient telehealth services. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, OCD, and eating disorders. I believe in creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their treatment journey.
First session
During our first session, we’ll take time to get to know you, discuss what brings you to treatment, and review your mental health history, current symptoms, medications, and goals. We’ll work together to develop an individualized treatment plan. You’ll have an opportunity to ask questions and share any concerns in a comfortable, supportive environment.
Strengths
I bring a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and collaborative approach to every session. I take time to listen and understand each person’s unique experiences, strengths, and goals. My approach combines evidence-based treatment with genuine connection, creating a safe space where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to actively participate in their care.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone seeking support for anxiety, depression, OCD, or eating-related concerns and ready to take an active role in their mental health journey. They may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin. I work best with clients who are open to collaboration, willing to explore their experiences, and motivated to develop healthier coping skills and meaningful, lasting change.
Treatment methods
Interpersonal
I combine medication management with an interpersonal approach to care, recognizing that emotional well-being is often connected to our relationships, life experiences, and everyday stressors. In addition to evaluating how your medication is working, I take time to understand what is happening in your life and how it may be affecting your symptoms. Together, we may explore relationship challenges, communication patterns, grief, major life changes, or difficulties adjusting to new roles. My goal is to provide care that goes beyond simply prescribing medication by helping you better understand your symptoms, strengthen coping and communication skills, and feel supported throughout your treatment.
