Dr. Monica O’Neal

CLINICAL PSYCHOLOGIST + RELATIONSHIP EXPERT + MEDIA CONSULTANT

Hi!  I’m Dr. Monica and I am your ally in every sense of the word.  

I want to acknowledge the real anxiety many of you may be feeling about the incoming administration, particularly if you identify as a racial, sexual, or cultural minoritized person like I do. 

It’s normal to feel uncertain or even fearful when faced with political changes that impact your rights or sense of safety. It’s okay to set boundaries with friends, family, and any media that negatively impacts your well-being.

Most importantly, prioritize your mental health. Seek out supportive communities where you feel heard, valued, and safe. Remember, you are not alone—reach out for help if you need it. Reach out to me if you’re in Massachusetts. If not in Massachusetts, reach out to a therapist in your own locale. 

Together, we can face this with resilience and hope.
