I've been working with Monique since about March, I think, and she is amazing. She's supportive, cares about me, understands how I feel and always prioritizes my needs. She helps me talk about the hard stuff and also just asks about my day or how I've been doing. She's a total angel and I'd recommend her to anyone who's going through a tough time. 10/10 therapist.

My experience working with Monique over the last couple of years has been life-changing. Her kind approach and simultaneous ability to keep things real were the mix I didn’t know I needed. Her expertise in addictions counseling helped me turn several corners in my recovery, and helped guide me to using tools to manage things in my life efficiently and effectively. To be in an emotionally and mentally sound enough place to feel confident stepping out on my own is something I couldn’t imagine being able to say a few years ago. Monique is someone I will truly never forget, and I’m so grateful to this platform for connecting me with her.

I look forward to talking with Monique. It’s more like talking to a friend than anything else. I don’t feel self conscious telling her the feelings and thoughts that I’m having. She gives me real world things to try not things that are unrealistic. She understands what I’m going through. I definitely recommend her!
