Monique works as a Certified School Psychologist in a Maryland public school system and as a Psychological Associate. She has several years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults in various capacities. She received her bachelor’s degree in psychology from Towson University and her master’s with a certificate of advanced study in School Psychology from Bowie State University. Monique has a passion for helping others recognize their full potential, empowering them to live life as the best version of themselves. As a School Psychologist and Psychological Associate, Ms. Easley has worked with individuals across the developmental lifespan to cultivate strategies to manage anxiety, depression, anger, grief, life changes, executive dysfunction, and other various life events or difficulties. Her perspective encourages clients to embrace self-acceptance, prioritize self-care, and better understand themselves so they may make decisions that align with the person they are growing to be. She believes that reflecting on the past helps us to understand our present so that we may make informed decisions for our future. This perspective towards empowerment stems from her work as a researcher and practitioner. As a researcher, Monique has examined the impact of self-affirmations on levels of self-esteem and self-love in Black women, the benefits of community healing spaces, and the benefits of utilizing different modalities such as writing, quotes, music, and affirmations as resources to facilitate healing. As a practitioner, Monique utilizes cognitive-behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and collaborative therapy within a Black Feminist perspective. These modalities help her to support and empower clients on their individual growth journeys. Monique makes it a priority to create a safe therapeutic space for clients while helping them build their capacity and grow in their unique journeys.
