Board of Directors
Soni Monroe gibbons, Psy.D., Chair
Founder of PCCC, Soni Monroe Gibbons, Psy.D., is a licensed clinical psychologist and Founder/Director of Crossroads Institute, a multi-disciplinary group practice with offices and LA and Orange counties. She is dedicated to teaching and training, and was a clinical supervisor at Harbor-UCLA, providing supervision and training to Child Psychiatry Fellows, and was an associate adjunct professor at University of Southern California’s Marriage and Family Therapy program. Dr. Gibbons has presented regionally and nationally to mental health professionals as well as being published in peer reviewed journals. She serves as an expert witness on mental health concerns for civil and criminal cases.
Christina Bond
A steadfast supporter of Pelican Cove Counseling Center since day one, Christina Bond officially leveled up her involvement by joining the Board of Directors in 2023. She is a passionate advocate for mental health and a firm believer in the power of therapy—mostly because she has experienced its transformative benefits firsthand (and let’s be honest, raising four kids and spoiling one grandchild practically requires a dedicated mental health team).
When she isn't supporting Pelican Cove's mission, you can usually find her knee-deep in community youth programs. Whether she’s volunteering in local schools, guiding the next generation as a Boy Scouts of America Merit Badge Counselor, or teaching youth at her church, she is all about helping young people thrive.
Christina brings energy, heart, and a unique set of skills to the board. She excels at being charmingly awkward and is known for her ability to completely butcher the delivery of a good joke. What she lacks in punchline timing, however, she more than makes up for in dedication, compassion, and commitment to making mental healthcare accessible for everyone in our community.
Leslie Stonick
Leslie has seen first-hand how mental health issues, such as substance abuse and addiction, can decimate other people’s lives without treatment, and she passionately supports PCCC’s mission to help those in need that don’t have the means to get it. Leslie’s brother, Stanley Monroe, and Dr. Soni Kim Monroe’s efforts, and the meaningful work done by the PCCC team to help others in need, is instrumental in Leslie’s enthusiastic support as a new member of the Board of Directors. Leslie’s talents are in the areas of creative problem solving, organizational thinking, and finding ways to help others succeed in life by overcoming barriers through mentoring, leadership, and support. Leslie has a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and she loves travel and the outdoors, whether it be skiing, cycling, hiking, or golfing. Leslie is the founder and leader of the Stonick Group, a Compass Real Estate team, specializing in properties in the Long Beach, and Southern California areas.
