Meet Dr. Monique:
Degrees, Dedication, and Expertise You Can Relate To

Meet Dr. Monique | Experienced Counselor & Coach

Dr. Monique is your go-to expert in behavioral health, holding licenses in Arizona, Florida, and Nevada. Armed with a Doctorate in Behavioral Health, a Master’s in Crisis and Trauma, and a Bachelor’s that covers everything from Religious Studies to Criminal Justice (with bonus stops in Communications, Linguistics, and Psychology—because why not?), she’s as versatile as she is qualified. Fluent in English and Spanish, Dr. Monique is all about helping you achieve real, lasting change. While she takes her work seriously, she keeps a playful edge—because life’s too short for stuffy bios (and yes, she’s earned those degrees & the student loans to match!). Let’s work together to tackle the challenges standing in your way.

Please note that Dr. Monique is not a psychologist, but she can provide referrals if needed.

What was Dr. Monique's path to becoming a therapist?

Dr. Monique originally wanted to be a lawyer but life happened and she experienced some trauma, had a child, helped find someone to guide her through her trauma, and figured that after being on the “other side of the couch,” all she wanted was to create a safe space where clients can come and not feel judged. She's worked in a plethora of settings, from correctional facilities to hospitals and everything in between. She feels like she has heard it all before, so nothing comes as a surprise to her. As a result, she's learned to create a safe space for others to be their authentic selves so they can take off their “masks” and just be them - whatever that is on whatever day you happen to be sitting across from her.

What should someone know about working with Dr. Monique?

Dr. Monique’s approach is built on honesty, transparency, and authenticity. She believes in holding clients accountable for their actions while guiding them through self-discovery with what she calls “compassionate confrontation.” Her style is direct yet empathetic, ensuring that every session is tailored to your unique needs and goals. Dr. Monique is dedicated to building genuine connections that inspire meaningful and lasting change.
