About us
Hi, I'm Monica!
Monica Cotelingam, MD
Psychiatrist
What I do at Aspire.
I joined Aspire's medication provider team in October 2025, and serve as a staff psychiatrist.
Why I became a Doctor/Nurse.
I am invested in reducing suffering, particularly for persons experiencing mental health difficulties. I feel it's important to affirm peoples life experiences and understand how these experiences have come to mold them. I feel that mental health is still poorly understood by society and that I can help reduce stigma. It is very fulfilling when a patient opens up, when medication finally works, and when someone understands themselves differently.
Why I chose to work at Aspire.
The providers at Aspire are outstanding and the environment is very supportive.
My Hobbies and Interests
