Getting to know Monique Russell

Hi! My name is Monique Russell, a licensed clinical social worker licensed in Texas. I am sex-positive, gender- and LGBTQIA+ affirming, and supportive of varying love and relationship styles. My approach My therapeutic style addresses most issues using cognitive approaches and motivational interviewing in an affirming and supportive space. My focus I work with individuals and couples in need of support or affirmation around gender, kinks, relationship communication, boundary setting, and sex and sexuality. My communication style My goal is to provide a safe and affirming environment for clients to examine and work toward their identified goals. Communication is facilitated in a direct but caring fashion, allowing clients to move at a comfortable pace. My journey to mental healthcare My interest in mental health started in the military. There was a time when being LGBTQ was punishable in the military. Working with military personnel and their families exposed me to the harm caused by living and working in a restrictive environment that didn't support the expression of their authentic selves. I was inspired to create a safe space that welcomes the fullness of our collective humanity. My goals for you I partner with clients to address their self-identified goals. While I have a degree and license, I reserve space for the client to be the expert in their experience and rely on their expertise in session as well. My first session with you Our initial session will include setting expectations for our work together and a complete assessment. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support clients with compassion and professionalism.
