Dr. Monica LaBrie

I obtained my MA in Psychology/Applied Behavior Analysis and started my career in 2007 as Board Certified Behavior Analyst providing behavioral therapy to children with autism and adults with intellectual disabilities I also provided supports to families and caregivers, including siblings. In 2019, I obtained my PhD in Educational Psychology and began teaching as an adjunct faculty in applied behavior analysis. In my continued work as a BCBA, I always felt like there was more I could do for individuals, families, and caregivers who had autism or intellectual/developmental disabilities. I decided to obtain my Master of Social Work degree, graduating in 2024 with a desire to help other facing both behavior and mental health challenges. Areas of expertise include: Autism Spectrum Disorders/ADHD/Neurodivergence, Intellectual and developmental disabilities, Children and Adolescents including behavioral challenges, emotional regulation, and other behavioral/mental health concerns, Caregiver/sibling support and parent training, Anxiety/Depression, Trauma

I am dedicated to helping individuals overcome challenges and find their strengths to empower them to live meaningful, independent lives. I use an eclectic approach to therapy which is heavily grounded in cognitive behavioral therapies such as mindfulness-based interventions and acceptance and commitment therapy. I also use trauma-informed, strength-based interventions, and a person-centered approach aimed at creating a safe space where clients feel empowered to find and cultivate their own strengths and push toward resiliency and living the life they desire.

During our first session, I will provide an overview of my services, gather some information about you and what you're looking for from therapy, and conduct a brief diagnostic evaluation to gather background information and history. Together, we will identify some specific goals and develop a treatment plan for ongoing sessions. And, of course, I will answer any questions you may have!
