Tequira Monk: LCSWA (She/her): Children, Families and young Adults Therapist
I’m Tequira Monk (she/her), a Licensed Clinical Social Worker Associate (LCSWA), and I specialize in working with children, youth, and families as they navigate life’s ups and downs with care, creativity, and connection.
I create a warm, playful, and supportive space where kids feel safe to be themselves and families feel truly heard. Whether a child is struggling with big feelings, attention challenges, anxiety, trauma, or self-esteem, I work to meet them right where they are—with curiosity, compassion, and a touch of imagination.
I’m especially passionate about supporting children and young adults with ADHD, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and those navigating identity, life transitions, or challenges at home or school. I also provide affirming care for LGBTQIA+ youth and families, helping them feel seen, celebrated, and supported. My approach is relaxed, down-to-earth, and deeply collaborative. I believe healing happens in relationship, and I work closely with caregivers to build understanding, strengthen connection, and foster growth both in and out of sessions.
In my work, I draw from evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), EMDR, and mindfulness. With younger clients, I integrate play therapy, creative arts, and storytelling—because sometimes our hands and imaginations can express what words cannot.
I’ve worked across various settings and systems, which helps me understand the unique stressors kids and families face today—and the resilience they carry with them. I always bring a trauma-informed, strengths-based lens to the work we do together.
If your child is struggling, or you or your family is going through a tough time, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. I work with children ages 5+, teens, young adults, and families.
I am in network with BCBS, Cigna, Aetna, and Medcost.
