She/her
Monica McInerney is a graduate student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling Master’s Program at Johns Hopkins University. She studied sociology and biology in undergrad and brings a sociological perspective to much of her counseling. If you are experiencing interpersonal/relationship challenges, anxiety, issues with confidence, or identity exploration, Monica may be a good fit for you. She utilizes person-centered, Adlerian, feminist, and other therapies in her practice and strives to create a community-oriented, culturally responsive, sex-positive, and LGBTQIA+ -affirming space for her clients. Monica has specific interests in working with couples or polyamorous units, families, and groups.

- I was active in the Progressive Student Union at my college for undergrad; I credit this group with much of my foundational anti-capitalist and social justice learning/unlearning.
- I love to find beauty in eerie or haunting things (e.g., I have a cat named Morticia, bats (yes, bats) are my favorite animal, and I love the horror book genre because it often comments poignantly on social issues.)
- Antiquing is my favorite pastime, and I have a specific interest in vintage and antique jewelry.
