FAQ's

Do you accept insurance?

Yes, but only for certain commercian (non-Medicaid, non-Medicare) plans: check your eligibility here. 

​

Please note that all court-ordered required treatment will be denied by commercial insurance as it is no longer a therapeutic need but a legal need; thus only private pay rate is accepted for these cases (out-of-pocket costs). 

What if you don't take my insurance, what is the rate then?

Service rates can be found here

Monthly package rates can be found here 

What do you specialize in?

As a dually licensed practitioner, I am familiar with life transitions (e.g. aging, education, pre-marital, perinatal, pre-natal, and post-natal, etc.), anxiety, depression, grief, and other common concerns.  ​

My top niches are life transitions, adult industry & sex workers, integrated behavioral health (e.g. chronic pain, disease management, lifestyle medicine, etc), child conduct disorders, & immigration evaluations.

​

The above areas are populations that I have decided to take extra focus.

Do you see children?

Yes! As young as 5 years old (must be potty trained).  

​

Younger children are seen as part of parental coordination, reunification, or other custody-related matter.

Why is the intake more expensive than a regular session?

During an intake with Dr. Monique, she obtains a thorough history of previous behavioral, medical, psychiatric, and social health information from you.

This intake takes about 90 minutes and gives you each an opportunity to determine if Dr. Monique is the best fit for you. Starting therapy is a very intimate and rewarding journey but NOT if it's with the wrong person (like a bad relationship- platonic, workplace, or intimate). 

​

The intake is an opportunity for both you & Dr. Monique to determine if you’re a good fit for one another. If not, Dr. Monique will provide you with 2-3 community referrals to other providers or agencies that may be a better fit.
