Dr. Monique Thompson

Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships

About

I am in my 22nd year as a psychotherapist.

What to expect:

Respect and Support – Most people find my straightforward approach helpful and solution-focused. It may not be for you! If you believe you are fairly certain you are “ready” then let’s give it a try!

Office hours: 8am – 3pm CST

Timely responses

Expertise – I have seen the impossible happen in person after person – 20,000 client hours! I believe people can achieve incredible things despite impossible odds because I’ve been there when it happens.

Three questions I’m known to ask people in therapy:
1. If you had your financial life at 100% satisfaction, what would be left to do for you to be your ideal self?

2. Why? (no matter what people say, I tend to follow by asking, “why”?)

3. If when you awake in the morning, everything was changed for the better, what is the first thing you’d notice?

About 60% of my practice involves work with adult survivors of sexual trauma, addictions (drugs, alcohol, sex) and couples recovering from affairs. I also offer traditional general mental health counseling for depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder, particularly post-hospitalization or adults who are noticing symptoms for the first time. Other services include pre-surgery psych evals and group therapy.

A few other notes about me
I authored a workbook for couples, Infidelity Recovery Workbook for Couples: Tools and Exercises to Rebuild Your Relationship that has ranked in the top 100 Dating Books on Amazon since it’s release in 2021.

Is Online Therapy the Right Fit for Your Needs?

Many people wonder whether meeting a therapist remotely can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or navigating life transitions, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions. One major advantage is flexibility – clients can connect in the format that fits their life, whether by video call, phone session, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options often makes it easier to maintain consistency and fit therapy into a busy schedule. All participating professionals are licensed, and clients have the option to change therapists if they prefer a different fit. Online care can be a practical, evidence-informed choice for many people seeking support with everyday mental health and relationship concerns.
