Lovely and compassionate therapist. So very grateful for our sessions together. She listens and understands both me and my partner and gives us appropriate tools to work on our relationship issues together.

Monique Gilcrest strikes the perfect balance between expertise and relatability. She's an excellent listener who really gets it, and her teaching approach is both insightful and practical. You'll leave sessions feeling heard, understood, and equipped with valuable tools. Her warm, professional manner makes even difficult topics feel manageable. Couldn't ask for a better therapist!

I’ve only had one session with her but she made me feel very comfortable. She tackles intimate issues with fidelity and she stays neutral. I respect her and I’m glad I’m working with her.

My wife is a mental health therapist and she’s too good.. Monique leveled the field beteeen us like it was nothing. She is by far the best therapist we’ve had in about 10-13 attempts at this. Don’t waste your time. She is simply the best even if you hate what you hear. Take it!

Work with me!
