Meet The Team

Monique Rouse | LSW
TherapistMonique is a dedicated clinician at The Living Room, where she’s committed to supporting members through life’s challenges with compassionate care and practical tools for change. Her professional experience includes working with diverse populations facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and mood-related disorders. She approaches each member with intentional care, focusing on building trust and fostering meaningful therapeutic relationships conducive to growth and healing.
Monique’s clinical work is grounded in evidence-based practices, with a specialization in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused therapy, and positive psychology. She believes in helping individuals not only manage symptoms but also build resilience, recognize their strengths, and develop a more hopeful and empowered outlook on life.
Along with an educational background that has provided a strong foundation in mental health treatment, Monique’s own personal and human experiences have significantly shaped the way she shows up in the therapeutic space. She understands that everyone’s story is uniquely their own, and values creating an environment where members feel seen, heard, and respected without judgment.
What makes The Living Room especially meaningful to Monique is its family-oriented atmosphere—it’s truly a place where both members and staff can feel at home. That sense of warmth and connection is something she aims to reflect in her work every day.
Exuding genuine positivity and hopefulness, Monique extends that same grace to others in meeting people exactly where they are. She strives to walk alongside members in their journey, helping them move forward with confidence, clarity, and self-compassion.
