Licensed Professional Counselor - PhD., LPC, NCC
Dr. Monique Rahman
Licensed Professional Counselor - PhD., LPC, NCC
Monique is a graduate of Texas A&M University Honors Psychology program with a minor in Neuroscience, and the University of Houston – Victoria’s Clinical Mental Health Counseling graduate program. She is also currently enrolled at St. Mary’s University’s Counselor Education and Supervision doctoral program with a concentration in play therapy and a desire to further research counseling from a wellness perspective.
Monique has had experience on a university helpline, at psychiatric hospitals, community agencies and clinics, as well as private practices.
Though the majority of Monique’s experience has been with clients who are in crisis (suicidal, homicidal, psychotic), she also enjoys helping people deal with more common life stressors and becoming a happier version of themselves. Believing in a holistic view, she believes it is important to address all areas of wellness, and works from a person-centered, solution-focused orientation. If you’ve heard her speak, you may have heard her on her soapbox telling everyone how important taking care of your mental health is, whether you have a mental illness or not. She can often be heard asking, “If you don’t wait to break a bone to go to the doctor’s office, or wait for gingivitis to go to the dentist, then why wait for a crisis to see a counselor?” She commends all of her clients for taking responsibility of their health and emotional wellness, and jokes that the “crazy” people are those who choose to ignore their health. As she believes people need to start conversations about emotional health from a young age, she is also currently working towards becoming a Registered Play Therapist. For more information about how children can benefit from counseling, please read more about Play Therapy in our services section. Monique enjoys helping clients throughout the lifespan, and tries to incorporate creativity, activities and expressive arts with clients of all ages.
When she’s not watching movies with her dogs, friends or family, Monique also enjoys traveling the world, doing arts and crafts, or reading a good book with a warm cup of tea.
