Monique Paulus is one of the most interesting, talented, unbelievably patient, open minded person with her well rounded experience. I couldn't have more confidence in anybody else with the unique deep dive into the core issues, as well as the sporadic and often chaotic everyday life issues. I have made progress that I didn't see possible, but here we are and I get better everyday, by hearing her voice in my head with great guidance! She has bumped or shifted the trajectory of my life. She won't take credit though, as much as she deserves it!

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.
