Monet Mclendon

Monet Mclendon is a therapist and social worker based in Detroit, Michigan. She has been in her field for about 15 years, beginning her career working with the senior population in group home and social work settings for 10 to 12 years. She later transitioned to a hospice company where she focused on counseling the bereaved, which sparked her passion for community work and education to reduce the stigma around therapy. Monet holds a master's degree in social work with an aging concentration and a full clinical license. She is a community advocator who provides individualized therapy while also targeting broader populations through initiatives like her bi-weekly summer Therapy Walks with Monet McLendon events featuring sound bowl therapy and yoga. She serves as clinical co-director for DABO Detroit and is a member of the Order of Eastern Stars, where community service and sisterhood is the primary mission. Monet attributes her success to her passion, rooted in a childhood desire to make a difference in chaotic environments by using her voice. She values honesty, integrity, consistency, and discipline, and advises young women to follow their heart, not give up, push beyond the basics, and put themselves first. She was recently selected to be featured as one of the influential women for 2026.
