Monique Laguerre, LICSW

 

I’m Monique. I describe myself as an honest, silly, calm bodied, heart-historian who believes that therapy should be half work and half fun. I generally see ages 8-50, but teens are my favorite. I believe firmly that youth should be treated in collaboration with caregivers. I grew up in New England and studied literature and journalism before discovering my gift for therapy while teaching at a behavior-focused alternative middle school for boys. My passion and specialization is in trauma, attachment and family work. I genuinely enjoy working with individuals and families with complex issues. When I’m not geeking out on therapy stuff, I’m making soup, speaking French or playing with my daughter.

My therapy philosophy:

  • Therapy is a place to figure out what you’d like to be better at.

  • Therapy has a beginning and an end.

  • Change in children starts with the family.
