Our Dedicated Team
At Orama Residential Treatment Center, meaningful treatment starts with understanding the whole child. Our multidisciplinary treatment team works collaboratively to evaluate and support each teen across mental health, medical health, family dynamics, relationships, daily functioning, and overall well-being. By bringing together different perspectives and areas of expertise, we can develop an individualized approach to care that looks beyond a diagnosis and considers the many factors influencing a teen’s health and healing. Our clinicians are experienced in working with teens and families across an array of mental health issues. Together with our medical, operational, and support team members, they create a structured and compassionate environment where each resident can feel known, supported, and actively involved in her treatment.

Monique Griffin
Monique Griffin is a board-certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with more than 14 years of experience providing psychiatric care across community mental health, inpatient, outpatient, emergency, and higher-acuity treatment settings. Much of her career has been rooted in North Texas, where she practiced across systems including University Behavioral Health, Millwood Hospital, Parkland Health System, Metrocare Services, and Connections Wellness Group in Denton — the same community Orama calls home.
Monique brings particular depth in crisis stabilization, trauma-informed care, and collaborative treatment for patients whose needs extend beyond a single diagnosis or medication change. Her clinical approach is grounded in careful assessment of the whole person—including psychiatric symptoms, trauma history, family dynamics, medical factors, daily routines, and developmental needs—while working closely with the broader treatment team and each family.
Monique’s clinical philosophy reflects the whole-person approach central to Orama’s model of care. Her graduate research on the role of Vitamin D in mental health speaks to a long-standing interest in the biological and metabolic underpinnings of psychiatric symptoms — the same root-cause thinking behind Orama’s integrative psychiatric evaluation process. Her time in Parkland Health’s Psychiatric Emergency Department and Consult-Liaison service sharpened her ability to assess and stabilize patients in crisis, while her role as Regional Director of Advanced Practice Providers gave her experience leading clinical teams across PHP and IOP levels of care — work closely aligned with the structured, relationship-centered environment of residential treatment.
A Summa Cum Laude graduate of both Texas Woman’s University and the University of Texas at Arlington, Monique is committed to evidence-based and family-inclusive psychiatric care. She is honored to provide strong clinical judgment as well as steady, compassionate presence to support each girl at Orama as they build safety, insight, resilience, and a stronger vision for their future.

Along the way, she discovered a special calling in adolescent behavioral health, believing that early intervention can change the course of a young person’s life.
Kristen believes everyone deserves access to the right care at the right time. She is committed to being a trusted resource for families, even when the best fit isn’t Orama, and values collaboration, compassion, and authentic relationships above all else. Inspired by a family of first responders, she approaches her work with a deep commitment to service and showing up for others during difficult moments.
