In addition to being an LPC I am certified to supervise (LPC-S) Licensed Professional Counselor Interns. I am also a member of the National Honor Society in Psychology and I have over 24 years experience working with individuals, couples and groups. I believe in the power of the individual ~ in the individual’s creativity, courage, choice, free will, and desire to become better.

Counseling aids individuals in discovering and recognizing their distorted views, in developing more effective ways to reach their goals, and in decreasing their discouragement. My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution based and emotional interviewing therapies. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. The therapy process is a cooperative effort between the individual and the counselor where each assumes an active and responsible role in that process. I will contribute my knowledge and expertise to assist you in gaining insight and making educated choices, I will provide you with experiences in which to test those choices, and I will support you with encouragement, patience, and optimism. You will contribute your personal knowledge, your commitment to explore yourself and your beliefs honestly. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile!

Hi there. I'm a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Licensed Professional Counselor – Supervisor in Texas. My specialty is runaway emotions – whether grief, despair, shame, helplessness, guilt, loneliness, or one I haven't mentioned – it really doesn't matter which emotion it is. We've all gotten into ruts where it seems like life is happening to us and we're getting tossed around in the currents, unable to stop what's happening. Those times, when we're overmatched and unable to regulate ourselves, can lead to trauma that affects us for years, if not the rest of our lives. My entire professional career has involved developing and testing therapy protocols for healing those exact situations. They've proven affective in a wide range of settings, across a wide range of presenting problems, throughout the age range of 4-104. I especially enjoy working with those who consider themselves "too sensitive" or have been told by others they are too sensitive. There's no such thing as "too sensitive." You are just as sensitive as you are, and that's perfect. Though it may not feel like it, you're actually ahead of the crowd. Let me show you how to use your sensitivity as a tool instead of a weakness. That way, others' emotions will no longer torment you. Just draining your systems of others' emotions will make your life more bearable. Then we can get to what you want your life to look like now that you're not so overwhelmed.

*I AM ONLY ABLE TO PROVIDE TELEHEALTH SERVICES TO INDIVIDUALS IN THE STATES OF ARKANSAS and TEXAS* Hi, I'm Monique Randle, LCSW and certified sex therapist (CST). Do you often find yourself lying awake at night, replaying conversations and wondering why your relationships feel so draining? Maybe you feel like you're always the one giving more, or perhaps you're struggling with the nagging feeling that you don't quite fit into the traditional molds expected by society. If you're wrestling with anxiety that keeps you second-guessing your worth or actions, you're not alone. In our sessions, we'll dive into the heart of these emotional and cognitive storms. Are you constantly on edge, anticipating conflict or misunderstanding even in calm situations? Do you find yourself pulling away just when things start to get close, or maybe you keep attracting partners who just don't seem to 'get' you? These patterns aren't just habits; they're cries for understanding and change, and I hear them loud and clear. Together, we will explore these feelings and behaviors, focusing solely through individual therapy—because sometimes, the most profound growth happens one-on-one. We'll craft a space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions safely and confidentially, without the pressure of conforming to anyone else's expectations. Let's uncover the roots of your distress and journey towards a more authentic and fulfilling life. I'm here to help guide you through self-discovery and beyond, building resilience and joy along the way.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Brookside Village therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?
Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Brookside Village licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Brookside Village counselor can be dependent on your process.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice.

If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information.
