CA License # 120795. Hello, I am Monique L Hart, MSW, LCSW, the Owner and President of 3Q’s & Hart Counseling, LLC. I am a single mother of three sons who represent the 3Q’s in 3Q’s & Hart Counseling. My vision for 3Q’s & Hart Counseling is that it is a safe haven for single mothers struggling with depression and anxiety. You will learn how to fully embrace the present moment, stress management techniques, and improve your self-care routine.
My approach
I use the Humanistic approach which emphasizes self-growth and self-actualization, and that all people have the ability to live healthily. I teach individuals to use the skills they already have, and to handle problems on their own. I also use a Cognitive approach which focuses on how an individual's thinking can change feelings and behaviors.
My focus
I typically work with single mothers and First Responders. I am comfortable treating symptoms of Anxiety and Depression.
My communication style
I would like for your therapy sessions to be your safe place to express your deepest thoughts and feelings. Your session will be a place for you to talk about whatever is on your mind and to process important experiences in your life. I will provide a laidback and nonjudgement environment. My communication style is best described as assertive, I am committed to being respectful while sharing thoughts and ideas confidently and in a polite manner.
My journey to mental healthcare
It is my honor to accompany you on your journey to finding happiness because I have traveled that same path. I completely understand the many challenges single mothers face because I have overcome those same challenges as a single mother. I am able to combine my unique personal experience with 14 years of professional experience in the field of social work; and as a psychotherapist to support you during your journey to improve your physical, emotional, and social well-being. The difficulties of life can be very scary when we are struggling with lack of money, feeling lonely, constantly worrying about the future, lack of energy, and no motivation. It can become overwhelming for one person. My Finding Your Way Back To Happy Methodology will help you get out of being overwhelmed so you can create a life you love.
My goals for you
I approach goal setting by understanding and learning the client's needs, communicating and collaborating regularly with the client, and adapting and adjusting goals as needed. I work with the client to set clear, attainable goals, checking in on the client often to see how they are doing, and most importantly, I use emotional intelligence.
My first session with you
Your first session with me, you can expect to talk about the specific problem that inspired you to seek therapy, what you hope to achieve over the course of treatment, a brief sketch of your life story, and any experience you've had with therapy in the past.
