“Sick and Tired of being sick and Tired?” Let’s talk it out. I am a practical, interactive, cognitive behavioral and solution focused therapist and Certified Coach.

First of all, I love what I do and to witness the positive changes clients make in their lives as a result of choosing therapy to help them accomplish what they want. Often the goal is to achieve symptom relief so as to not be overwhelmed by anxiety, mood disorders or be better able to manage the challenges of ADHD. Sometimes there is not a specific outcome identified but a need for ongoing support for dealing with life transitions or difficult people. Sometimes clients use therapy as a confidential sounding board where they can talk to an objective outsider about situations and sort out their perspective. I offer various ways to see and respond to situations that might otherwise not be considered. Your opinion as a client is the most important one and I will also honestly provide mine when asked for. I believe therapy can actually be something that you can look forward to and an opportunity to learn new skills to use long after you discontinue, and we can even have some fun and laughs along the journey.

I’m a builder by nature—flexible but relentlessly committed to helping you move from stuck to steady progress. My style is laid back but no-nonsense because therapy has to be functional for you.

I support adults and parents who are navigating ADHD, anxiety, depression, burnout, racial stress, parenting challenges, money stress, and major life transitions.

My approach is practical, culturally responsive, and whole-person centered. Together, we explore how your past, family patterns, nervous system, beliefs, environment, and daily habits shape how you think, feel, parent, work, set goals, and care for yourself. Therapy can help you understand what is getting in the way, build emotional balance, strengthen self-trust, and create realistic strategies for growth.

Something keeps you up, turning it over. An anxiety that won't fully lift. A pattern you keep bumping into, in work, in relationships, in the way you respond before you can stop yourself. You have kept moving forward, but part of you knows it is time to look more closely. I am Monique Boyd, an LCSW-C and founder of Garden of Introspection. I work with adults and seniors in Maryland who are ready to go deeper; to understand what drives their emotional responses, how past experiences still shape the present, and what it would take for something real to change. Trauma, anxiety, depression, women's mental health, and rebuilding after hard seasons are at the center of my practice.

Hi! I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker based in the DMV area ( Washington, DC, Maryland, VA) and Florida with over 11 years of experience helping kids, teens, young adults, and families. I provide telehealth only in the DMV -- I see ages 12 and up for telehealth and (both telehealth and in person) services in Florida (ages as young as 6 for in person). I love working with people who are figuring out school, friendships, family, big emotions, and all the tricky parts of growing up. I’m here to listen to what you’re going through and support you as you build confidence, learn coping skills, and take small steps toward feeling better. Together, we’ll figure out what works for YOU — in a calm, caring, and judgment-free space.

You may feel desperate, alone, and misunderstood. You feel like you are floating in the bottom of a lake and cannot see the light above you. Everyday, you feel like you are just going through the motions. If this describes you, then I may be the therapist for you. In my nearly twenty years of experience, I have helped people like you reach their potential and achieve the recovery that they needed. There is no set system or quick fix as others may promise, but I will walk down the road with you. My primary focus is on helping you deal with ambiguity. Often our thoughts and subsequently what we teach ourselves becomes rigid and fairly black and white. Using a pragmatic and authentic approach to therapy I try and help you be okay with things that are beyond your control and work with you to establish yourself as the protagonist in your own story. This is primarily accomplished through conversation and allowing you the client to guide the therapy in the direction it needs to go.

Welcome! I am Kimberly. I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 14 years of experience providing therapy.

Providing a safe and non-judgmental place to explore your struggles and emotional pain is essential to my practice. I feel grateful to be able to support those who desire to grow and heal. PLEASE NOTE: I work from 8am-3:30pm Mon-Thurs. I do not have late afternoon or evening sessions available.
