Monique Haas, MA, LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 8 years of experience working with people from diverse cultural backgrounds. I value a trauma-informed, compassionate, and empathetic approach.
Growing up bilingual (English-German) and being a military spouse myself, I have personally experienced frequent moves, adjusting to new surroundings and coping with separation from friends and family.
As a mother, I know first-hand what challenges parenthood holds. My clientele consists of families and individuals age 18 and up facing various challenges related to separation from loved ones, anxiety, depression, perinatal mental health, parenting stress, OCD, posttraumatic stress, self-harm, suicidal thoughts, and domestic violence. I have provided counseling services in a private practice setting as well as in a community mental health setting, where families in the foster care system received court-ordered therapy services.
I enjoy utilizing a person-centered approach to therapy and pull techniques from dialectical behavior therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, mindfulness, and EMDR therapy.
