Meet Monique.
Hi! My name is Monique, and I am a licensed professional counselor here at Safe Space Therapeutic!
I am passionate about serving women who are navigating life’s most tender transitions, including perinatal challenges (postpartum depression/anxiety, infertility), motherhood, grief, trauma, body image concerns, disordered eating, relationship issues, career challenges, and self-esteem struggles.
I earned my undergraduate degree in General Studies from Houston Baptist University (now Houston Christian University) in 2007. I am a former educator, as I served for 6 years as a Special Education teacher. In 2012, I earned my first Master’s degree in Guidance & Counseling, and I served as a school counselor for about 12 years. I earned my most recent Master’s degree in Christian Counseling from Houston Christian University in 2021. I became a fully licensed professional counselor in 2023. Throughout the years, I have received training in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), disordered eating, body image issues, college and career counseling, and perinatal mental health.
My approach is culturally sensitive, faith-focused (at your discretion), and rooted in evidence-based techniques, including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered, and other forms of therapeutic care. Together, we’ll explore your story, uncover resilience, and build a future aligned with your values and purpose.
I enjoy spending time with my husband and children, watching the latest Netflix movie or show, reading personal growth books, and writing in my spare time.
Contact me to schedule a free 10-minute consultation and take the first step toward living with intention, wholeness, and hope.
Meet Michelle.
Hello, my name is Michelle, and I am an associate therapist at Safe Space Therapeutic!
I earned my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Texas at Arlington and am now a Licensed Master Social Worker under the supervision of Jaclyn D. Satchel, LCSW-S, PMH-C. I recently completed training in EMDR, which is used to help my clients process different types of trauma.
As a therapist, I wholeheartedly embrace an Integrative Person-Centered approach to therapy, acknowledging the significance of considering the entirety of an individual. I am deeply committed to the belief that addressing mental health challenges demands a profound understanding of each person's distinctive experiences, strengths, and goals.
My areas of focus include expecting and postpartum mothers, individuals living with chronic illness and their families, the neurodivergent population (teens and adults), as well as individuals and families in crisis or coping with trauma.
I enjoy spending meaningful time with my spouse and children in my free time. I also enjoy engaging in outdoor pursuits, crafting thoughtful gift assortments, expressing my creativity through digital artwork, and immersing myself in healthcare and mental health literature. Feel free to schedule a FREE 10-minute consultation with me!
Hello, my name is Rachael, and I am an associate therapist at Safe Space Therapeutic!
I earned my Master of Social Work degree from Simmons University in 2023 and am now a Licensed Master Social Worker under the supervision of Marcus Brownl, LCSW-S. I also earned a B.A. in Political Science from George Mason University in 2010.
I’m passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges and find ways to live with more peace, confidence, and connection. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, and trauma, and I know how deeply these struggles can impact daily life. My approach is grounded in compassion, respect, and evidence-based practices, so together we can create a space that feels safe, supportive, and focused on your goals. I have experience working with members of the LGBTQ community.
My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported as you work toward the changes you want to see in your life. I often practice Motivational Interviewing, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy.
I enjoy reading a good book, spending time with my husband and two dogs, and rooting for the Washington Capitals.
