I'm currently accepting new clients for Deep Work Intensive sessions.

MONIQUE A. DAUPHIN, LMHC

Hi, thanks for visiting! My name is Monique, and I'm a licensed mental health counselor in New York's Hudson Valley providing virtual therapy to clients all over New York State. I specialize in helping people heal from trauma, overcome anxiety, and triumph over self-doubt. My clients include those recovering from sexual assault, narcissistic abuse survivors, Black & Brown folks, queer people, and members of immigrant communities. I also enjoy treating highly sensitive people and those with ADHD and autism. I use many different approaches to support clients in their healing.

My practice is AI-free.

No AI listening in on your sessions. No AI notes in your medical record.

This is a human-only zone.

My Philosophy

My approach is particularly informed by feminist therapy, and I proudly bring my lived experience as a woman, a trauma survivor, and a first-generation Haitian-American to work with me every day.

I am anti-racist, trans/queer-affirming, and committed to fighting oppression in all aspects of my work. You can count on me to see you in a holistic manner—as an individual and as part of your family, community, culture, etc. I don't see mental health struggles as defects or moral failures. I see many of them as the result of living in a dominant culture that normalizes isolation, overwork, conformity, and avoidance.

I believe in:

using evidence-based treatment whenever possible
including psychiatry and other medical referrals in treatment planning as needed
treating you like the expert on your own life
being flexible and responsive to your needs
practicing body neutrality & fat acceptance

I don't believe in:

blaming complex trauma survivors for "attracting" abuse
telling my clients what to do
using platitudes like, "everything happens for a reason"
making assumptions about your religious beliefs or lack thereof
blaming mental health problems on your weight
