Meet Dr. Band
Dr. Monica P. Band is an award winning, trauma-informed licensed mental health therapist and educator for mental health justice.
Renowned for her expertise in culturally competent and responsive care, Dr. Band provides education and training that bridge the gap between mental health providers and the communities they serve. Her approach centers on destigmatizing, demystifying, and democratizing mental health information to make it more accessible and inclusive.
She excels in building meaningful partnerships with mission-driven organizations that share her commitment to expanding mental health education and services for underrepresented, underserved, and culturally minoritized communities.
Leveraging her extensive background in clinical work and education, Dr. Band collaborates with organizations to shape their strategies, events, curricula, products, and content, championing inclusivity and leading with empathy.
“By prioritizing approaches that honor lived experiences, affirm diverse identities, and challenge the one-size-fits-all model of mental health treatment, we create space for more inclusive and effective healing. True belonging in mental health care is achieved when individuals and communities not only have access to services but feel seen, heard, and empowered in their mental health journey.” - Dr. Monica P. Band
