About Monique Paulus

As a licensed therapist in Idaho, Montana, and Arizona. I bring over a decade of experience supporting individuals through complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients navigate challenging life transitions, mental health concerns, and personal growth. I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, trauma, and addiction, with a compassionate and holistic approach.

My therapeutic work focuses on understanding each person’s unique journey. I offer supportive guidance for individuals struggling with isolation, relationship dynamics, workplace stress, and personal identity challenges. Whether you’re dealing with panic attacks, processing past trauma, or working through family and relationship issues, I’m committed to creating a safe, affirming space for your healing.

I have extensive experience supporting diverse populations, including veterans, first responders, and individuals exploring complex personal experiences. My approach is collaborative, non-judgmental, and tailored to meet your specific emotional needs and personal goals.

“I have known Monique for almost a year now. She has been a great help to me as I navigate changes in my life. Monique is warm and friendly, yet professional.”

“This woman has been integral in my recovery and healing. Not only is she my therapist, but I feel like she's my friend too. Really enjoy our sessions and the guidance and listening she's able to offer me.”

“Monique has been so wonderful and has truly helped me through my struggles. I am grateful for her and her support.”

“She is absolutely fantastic and I highly recommend her!”

“I've been working with Monique since about March, I think, and she is amazing. She's supportive, cares about me, understands how I feel and always prioritizes my needs. She helps me talk about the hard stuff and also just asks about my day or how I've been doing. She's a total angel and I'd recommend her to anyone who's going through a tough time. 10/10 therapist.”

“She is knowledgeable and has helped me in so many ways. I highly recommend talking with her!”

“She’s the best”

“I have found the perfect therapist to help me grow and develop into the person I want to be. I am very thankful of our relationship and the help she provides.”

“This is what I have been looking for in therapy. Thanks for creating a way for me to connect with a therapist that matches my needs. I also love that I can do phone calls”

“She is very friendly”

“Monique is easy to talk to and is very supportive. I enjoy workinng with her and highly recommend her.”

“Highly recommend! Very professional and so compassionate.”

“My experience working with Monique over the last couple of years has been life-changing. Her kind approach and simultaneous ability to keep things real were the mix I didn’t know I needed. Her expertise in addictions counseling helped me turn several corners in my recovery, and helped guide me to using tools to manage things in my life efficiently and effectively. To be in an emotionally and mentally sound enough place to feel confident stepping out on my own is something I couldn’t imagine being able to say a few years ago. Monique is someone I will truly never forget, and I’m so grateful to this platform for connecting me with her.”

“I have been your typical avoid therapy at all cost. I can fix myself for my entire life at age 40 I realized I am wrong and joined better help. After only a couple of sessions with Monique, I'm already seeing great progress and feel very comfortable talking to her and she has helped me get started in a way that cannot be thanked enough.”
