Hi, my name is Monique Dean, and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in California. With several years of experience and training in the mental health field, I am dedicated to providing a safe and nurturing space for women seeking to enhance their emotional and psychological well-being. As a certified EMDR therapist, I believe that encouragement, validation, collaboration, and support are fundamental elements in the healing process. In therapy, my approach is warm, interactive, and accepting. I understand the courage it takes to take the first step towards seeking therapy, and I bring that understanding and comfort into our sessions. Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, experiencing cycles of anxiety and depression, or facing other difficulties, I am here to assist you. It's natural to feel apprehensive about therapy, but rest assured that you have made the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow, and I am committed to providing that for you. In our sessions, I will meet you with compassion and utilize evidence-based techniques to help you overcome the obstacles and patterns that may be holding you back. Together, we will work collaboratively to uncover the answers and empower you to lead a healthier and more fulfilling life. If you are ready to take the next step, I am here to support and empower you on your healing journey.
