Hi. My name is Monique Branch, a licensed therapist that provides a safe, supportive space where you can feel heard, understood and encouraged as you navigate life's challenges. Whether dealing with stress, relationship concerns, personal growth, or difficult seasons in life, my goal is to help you build healthier connections with yourself and others. I believe in meeting you where you are, offering compassion without judgement, and working together to create a meaningful change. To me, you are more than a client, you're a person whose story matters.

I am originally from North Carolina and moved to Virginia 6 years ago. I studied at Wake Forest University. Since I was younger, I've enjoyed helping others and learning about the science of mental health. It became my hobby when I was younger. I enjoy working with so many backgrounds and increasing my education each year as I help new people. Currently, I like to utilize mindfulness based CBT, DBT, and ACT.

You don't need to know exactly what's wrong before reaching out. Most people I work with start with a sense that something is off, or that they've been managing on their own for too long. That's enough to begin. I work with adults and adolescents facing trauma, depression, and substance use, which are often more connected than they look from the outside. Figuring out how they fit together is part of our work. I'm patient and fairly direct, and I keep a sense of humor in the room. Clients often tell me they don't feel rushed or judged with me, and that matters more to the work than any single technique.

Sometimes life can look fine from the outside while you are carrying much more than people realize. You may be managing work, family, relationships, or responsibilities for everyone else while quietly dealing with anxiety, stress, past experiences, relationship concerns, anger, or simply feeling stuck. Therapy can be a place where you no longer have to carry all of that by yourself.

I am a Licensed Therapist in Washington, DC and a Licensed Therapist in Virginia. I earned my Master of Social Work from Washington University and my Bachelor of Social Work from Howard University. I bring more than 25 years of experience in human services and have worked with adolescents, adults, and families across behavioral health and community-based settings.

My clinical work is grounded in trauma-informed, person-centered, and strengths-based practice. I am especially interested in supporting people navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, emotional regulation, self-esteem, boundaries, and the pressure that can come from taking care of everyone while trying to take care of yourself.

You do not have to come to therapy with everything figured out. We can start with where you are.

Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, uncertain, down, and even overwhelmed in their lives. Trying to manage relationships, family, careers, and life responsibilities can lead to pushing away your own needs or putting them at the bottom of the to-do list. Maybe you feel stuck at work, are grieving past losses, or struggle within relationships. Each person ‘s suffering is unique, and therapy should be guided by their individual needs. Whether you are hoping to solve a specific problem by meeting a few times or seeking to address long-standing injuries or vulnerabilities, I will work compassionately and practically to find ways to create paths to relief and develop a deeper understanding of what is troubling you or getting in the way of your endeavors and desires.
