Dr. Monica Slubicki is a board-certified psychiatrist who has personal experience with mental health recovery. She knows that individuals and families can feel overwhelmed in the face of mental illness and its impacts on daily living.

Professionally, she has worked in outpatient and inpatient settings with adults living with a wide range of mental health challenges and has enjoyed participating in provider education initiatives. These experiences have given her a deep and nuanced understanding of the strengths and limitations of our mental health systems.

This dual perspective allows her to create resources that are clinically credible and deeply empathetic. She believes that recovery is built on robust understanding of experiences, choices, and personal goals, and that involving one’s community, providers, and family in meaningful ways offers essential support.

Her personal and professional experience together give her a rare ability to bridge the gap between clinical expertise and real-world life with mental illness. She serves as a mental health recovery guide, designing practical resources focused on making mental health recovery achievable and sustainable through Wise Recovery.
