I am pleased with our relationship. I've been in recovery for around 35 years and although my journey has been bumpy and I've hit a couple of serious bottoms along the way, I am far from crisis at this time. I am in maintenance mode and also still learning and growing. Monique and I have been working together for around 3 months and our relationship is growing closer. I have had 9 therapists over the years and she is one of the best.

monique is a great listener and doesnt make your sessions feel too clinical, ive had therapists in the past that would feel like they were following the basic "and how does that make you feel" script for everything you brought up. she makes sessions feel like talking to a friend and i immediately felt i could trust her from day one
