Professional statement
Meet Monique, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) who is passionate about the well-being of caregivers. With seven years of experience as a Licensed Social Worker, she focuses on helping you (the caregiver) manage feelings of failure, self-doubt, and exhaustion, so you may improve life balance and connections with yourself and others.
Her background in mental health and medical social work includes areas such as hospital discharge planning, counseling, hospice, care management, and working with individuals who have lifelong physical disabilities. She is also skilled in supporting caregivers in managing life challenges.
Monique understands the ups and downs caregivers face at home, work, and in the community. She is committed to helping motivated and insightful caregivers like you function better in all aspects of life with ideal support. Her nonjudgemental, genuine approach helps caregivers feel comfortable to share organic thoughts, feelings and behaviors so they may trust their decisions, practice self-care and improve their wellness.
Online therapy sessions are provided from an integrative evidenced-based approach (tailored to meet your needs) to help you take care of yourself after all the hard work you do. Therapeutic services range from Cognitive Behavioral, Strengths-Based, Solution-Focused and Narrative Therapy perspectives to psychodynamic therapy.
Sessions are available online weekdays (Tuesday to Friday) for caregivers living in Washington DC, Virginia, and Texas. Caregivers are not alone during their journey. Reach out today to book a free consultation.
