Monique Norris, LPC
Licensed Professional Counselor
Monique Norris, LPC graduated with her master’s in clinical counseling from Emporia State University in 2019. Monique has had experience with individuals of all ages and backgrounds in both individual settings as well as couples and groups. Monique has provided therapy
for individuals facing depression, anxiety, trauma, questioning gender/sexuality and the journey of emerging adulthood. As a clinician, Monique’s priority is creating an environment in which any individual can feel safe and accepted; she recognizes the healing power of simply feeling seen and heard. Monique meets people wherever they are at in life with compassion, warmth, and support. She recognizes that each person is doing the best they can at that time. Acceptance and compassion are what promotes growth and change, not shame.
Because every person has unique needs, Monique works with various modalities to provide the best support for individuals. Monique finds great importance in trauma-informed practice and primarily takes a bottom-up approach to treatment. She believes that before we can change the way we think, we often must explore the how and why of our body’s response to the stressor. Monique often uses Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as well as other mindfulness-based practices, building self-awareness, and tuning in to somatic experiences. As a clinician, she addresses the whole person; this includes understanding the importance of physical, social, and spiritual health, as well as systemic issues and oppression. Monique values collaboration among professionals to prioritize the whole person, not just mental health alone.
Monique accepts Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Aetna, andAmbetter. She does not accept KanCare (Medicaid) nor any form of Medicare.
