Markia Monroe, LPC-Associate

Markia Monroe is a Licensed Professional Counselor-Associate under the supervision of Monalisa Bryant, LPC-S.

Markia graduated with a Master’s of Education in Counseling and Development from Lamar University. During her toughest battles Markia’s favorite quote is “Your Willingness To Look Within Is What Empowers You To Change.” While dealing with grief at a very young age, Markia knew that she wanted to be a therapist and help others not feel alone with their emotions. She denotes herself as a “professional communicator” and has always had a passion for helping others.  

Markia believes that everyone DESERVES therapy, and she strives to curate a safe, inviting, and healing space for her clients. She believes that everyone has the ability to transform their lives from within. She views her role in therapy as being a guide to help you along your journey to wellness. Markia wants her clients to know that they are worth being healed. The three core values that she holds to the highest regard are: Empathy, Empowerment, and Self-Exploration.

Markia believes in a holistic approach to counseling, while providing “therapy for the soul” to her clients. She develops unique therapy modalities to aid each client with their individualistic needs. Her distinctive philosophy of counseling is centered around Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution- Focused Based Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. Markia’s specialties are: Coming of Age Issues, Anxiety, Depression, Emotional Regulation, Boundary Setting, Grief, Relationship Issues, Adjustment Issues, First Generation Issues, and Self-Esteem. Markia wants to show her clients how to cultivate the tools that they have within, to help transform their life for the better. Her overall principle as a therapist is to provide her clients with the tools to build a life that they love.

During Markia’s spare time, she enjoys shopping, trying new restaurants, food blogging, and binge-watching tv shows.
