Therapy Online Across AR, TX, & SC

Empowering badass Queer Women of Color (QWOC) to heal from the bullsh*t of their past traumas, self-defeating beliefs, and people-pleasing, self-sabotaging behaviors so they can live boldly and unapologetically.

Are you ready to reclaim your life? Let’s do this!

You're a high-achieving, badass woman but something just feels...off.

You crave healthy, loving relationships, and a life that is unapologetically yours but instead, you are…

  • Feeling lost and unsure of who you are, as if you’re wearing a mask just to fit in.

  • Suppressing your needs and desires, thinking they don’t matter or fearing they’ll push people away.

  • Stuck in toxic relationship patterns that leave you feeling empty and hurt, repeating the same mistakes over and over.

  • Haunted by past traumas that cast a shadow over your ability to trust and connect.

  • Struggling with self-worth, feeling like you’re never good enough for love or happiness.

  • Conforming to societal expectations, living a life that feels like a prison instead of a celebration.

  • Dealing with sexual shame, making you question your desires and worthiness.

  • Feeling isolated and misunderstood, as if no one sees the real you.

This exhausting struggle seeps into every part of your life—your friendships, romantic relationships, family ties, and most importantly, your relationship with yourself.

But listen: You’re not broken. Those feelings of anxiety, doubt, and frustration are signs that you’re ready for change, ready to heal, and ready to create the fulfilling relationships you truly deserve.

"You can't go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending."

Hi, I'm Monique “Mona” – your guide on this journey to self-discovery and healing. As a Black, queer therapist, I get it. Therapy isn't about changing you into someone 'perfect'; it's about uncovering the kickass person you already are beneath the self-doubt, people-pleasing, and past hurts. Here, it's all about cutting through the bullsh*t, facing the tough stuff head-on, and building a life that genuinely reflects who you are.

You have healthy boundaries, clear communication skills, and a deep sense of self-worth. Your relationships are built on trust and authenticity, and your sex life is a source of pleasure and connection. You navigate challenges with confidence and embrace your true self, societal expectations be damned.
