FOUNDER AND OWNER OF OVERFLOW COUNSELING SERVICES
Hi! I am Monique Durden; Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in the DMV area with a Master’s in Social Work from Fordham University.
I specialize in helping adults and young adults navigate anxiety, emotional overwhelm, financial stress, major life transitions, and identity shifts-all while appearing high-functioning to the outside world. My clients often come to me feeling exhausted from carrying it all-managing careers, caregiving, personal goals, or major transitions- while silently wrestling with self-doubt, performance pressure, or a sense of disconnection.
My approach is collaborative, supportive, and personalized. I blend evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, and Brief Strategic Focused Therapy with a growing focus on Financial
Therapy-because your relationship with money is emotional, too. Whether we’re working through burnout, boundary-setting, or money shame, I meet you where you are and walk with you from there.
My own journey into this work began with navigating personal trauma and financial anxiety. I didn’t just want to survive-I wanted to understand myself, heal deeply, and live in alignment with my
values. That experience fuels my passion for helping others do the same. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel grounded, seen, and supported. Together, we’ll build insight,
emotional regulation, and actionable steps to help you reconnect with yourself-and create a life that feels calm, clear, and aligned.
