Moniquea Degan (She/her)

My Approach to Helping

I offer her accelerated resolution therapy (ART), cognitive behavioral therapy CBT), or internal family systems (IFS) as therapy approaches for trauma or anxiety. I also prescribe medications for weight management while acknowledging the importance of being body positive and being healthy at any size.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I started out as a family nurse practitioner, and worked in community health setting with folks from all types of backgrounds. I became a psychiatric nurse practitioner after watching many clients, family and friends struggle with mental health without ever feeling heard. While medicines can be very helpful for some people, a lot of folks seem to burn out on medication’s, and they become less effective. We often failed to address the causes of distress such as trauma history or relationship challenges. As the parent if a non cis gender child, I am strong supporter of neurodivergent, gender fluud people. I am a white cis, gendered person, but I do understand that is a privileged role in our society. I stand with folks that feel singled out or persecuted for whatever reason or identity the relate to.
