You are here, and I believe I can help you--that is the first step, reaching out. My name is Monique C. Foster, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who worked in counseling, coaching, teaching and consulting for over 15 years. It gives me great pleasure to plant seeds of hope in other people's lives. My counseling experience ranges from pediatric to adolescence, young adult to mid-life, and older to aging adults. I have a wide range of counseling and coaching experiences from educational institutions, substance recovery, and psychiatric hospitals. Besides counseling, I also was a college professor in Human Services who taught others studying to become a counselor.
I am a down-to-earth counseling professional who is versatile, willing, and ready to meet my clients right where they are--dealing with their unique issues. I could write more information about me, but you will gain a first-hand phone call or video chat. I believe in building a therapeutic alliance with my clients. You will do your part, and I will do mine, and together we can improve your quality of life.
Please know that I respond within 24-hours when you send me a message. I encourage clients to call 911 for all medical emergencies.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Overall rating:

Monique is very helpful, down to earth, and understanding
Monique is so spot on with her understanding and being able to show me what I am feeling and why. She's able to gracefully steer me back on track when I am distracted. She has great strategies and solutions to my problems that I am excited to try! She is so warm and caring and makes it easy to open to her. Lately, I come frazzled and stressed but I always leave much calmer and with a sense of hope that things can turn around. I look forward to the journey with her.
My counselor so far is great with our session she listens and understands my situation.
Monique is very professional, but most importantly, she is compassionate. She isn’t judgmental and she makes sure to be thorough and clear. I feel safe and comfortable with her.
