Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Cedar Hill, TX

I'm a warm, inquisitive, and compassionate therapist here to meet you where you are. I use my education and training as well as my experiences to inform my practice and create a comfortable space for us to explore your thoughts and emotions.

I’m an experienced mental health professional and leader with a strong background in therapy, behavioral health, and military family support. With over a decade of post-graduate experience, I’ve had the privilege of helping individuals, families, and service members navigate life’s challenges with compassion and professionalism. I combine clinical expertise with a warm, approachable style that fosters trust and collaboration.

Hi! My name is Monica McKee. I’m a passionate LMFT dedicated to helping couples, individuals, and first responder families navigate life’s challenges, heal from past wounds, and strengthen their relationships. Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, working through trauma, or seeking greater self-understanding, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and care.

I’ve been married for 25 years and understand that relationships can bring both joy and struggle. This personal experience, combined with my clinical training, allows me to approach couples work with empathy and practical insight. As the spouse of a first responder, I also have a deep appreciation for the unique stressors first responder families face and am honored to support them in therapy. I speak conversational Spanish and enjoy working with clients from diverse backgrounds.

I specialize in helping couples and families reconnect and heal through an attachment-based approach, exploring how early relationships influence the ways we love, trust, and communicate. I’m trained in EMDR and I'm a Gottman Method Couples Level 2 practitioner, an evidence-based approach that helps couples improve communication, deepen emotional connection, and rebuild trust.

I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology, with an emphasis in Clinical Psychology from Pennsylvania State University in 2010, and my Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Abilene Christian University in 2023, with a focus on trauma.

Searching for the right therapist can feel overwhelming, and taking the first step isn’t always easy. I’m here to make that process feel a little less stressful. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, overwhelming emotions, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, we’ll work together in a supportive, judgment-free space where you can feel heard and understood.
