About me
Hello and welcome! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor licensed in Pennsylvania. In addition, I am a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. I have 16 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with individuals with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, addiction issues, and other mental health issues. I also helped people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
Over the years, I have worked with married and unmarried couples. I believe that no one couple is the same as another, therefore treatment should be customized. Based on where the individual/couple is at and their goals for life and goals for counseling will determine what technique I will use. Techniques may change from session to session. Some techniques I use include, but not limited to, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Reality Therapy.
People seek counseling for a variety of reasons and seek counseling at different stages in their lives/relationship. My counseling approach begins with meeting the couple where they are currently. Each person and their situation are unique which is why I am a strong believer that person centered is the best approach as counseling is not one size fits all.
I value developing a therapeutic relationship with each individual that I counsel. My goal is to allow the individual to feel comfortable in each session as a result of me offering respect and empathy, being able to accept, and being genuine and authentic. In return I ask that each person is committed to the process and honest throughout.
Taking the steps to seek counseling is the first step to seeking change. If you’re ready to take that step, I am here to guide and support you.
I look forward to working with you!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Monique Sheppard. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Monique has been fantastic. Very helpful with support and feedback! Would absolutely recommend!
Monique is very accommodating with scheduling and a wonderful therapist. Big thanks to Monique
Monique is not only a great listener, really in tune with her clients, but she also offers lots of practical advice that you can use in your day to day life. I always look forward to our sessions and get great value from them.
Monique has been absolutely amazing. She has made us look at things in such a different way. She have pushed us to change, to grow, to just be more aware of our own actions. Monique has such a open mind and listen to both sides before coming back with advice. She is extremely understanding and kind. I will only use her as long as I am apart of the app. Thank you Monique for all your help!
Initially our sessions started very slow paced, I believe this was a measure taken to get to know both my spouse and I. At this juncture we have began to dig into some of our issues, Monique has offered various suggestions. Monique is a very active listener and offers none other than professionalism and the utmost respect. I truly thank GOD and regain for her!
