Biography

Hey! My name is Monique Smith, but Mo works perfectly fine. I strive to provide a space that feels comfortable and safe, where you can show up as your most authentic self and process your thoughts and emotions without feeling judged. I have experience working with a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, social skills, self-esteem, OCD, sexual orientation, and identity and interpersonal challenges.

In addition to my clinical work, I have experience working with youth, offering them a space to vent and express themselves freely. My love for basketball has also allowed me to connect with young people, blending my passion for sports with mentorship.

I approach therapy with unconditional positive regard for my clients, utilizing evidence-based interventions such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Mindfulness, and Humanistic approaches. My goal is to support and walk alongside you during this journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing.

I am passionate about working with people, and even if you are facing challenges or issues that are not listed in my bio, I am committed to walking with you and helping you achieve your goals and healing. I enjoy a challenge and find fulfillment in being a part of my clients’ journeys. Together, we will cultivate the life you want for yourself.
