Lilia Montes
HELLO, finding a fitting therapist is a big part of your success in therapy, so I encourage meeting for a consultation to answer any questions and get to know each other. AS FOR ME, I am a Texas State University graduate and I have experience in multiple settings including schools, hospitals, inpatient facilities, county mental health, and private practices. This has allowed me to work with diverse humans and engage many different therapeutic styles. I have a passion for creating space for my community of BIPOC, ADHD, parents, and LGBTQIA that range from adolescents to adults.
OUTSIDE THE OFFICE, I spend a lot of time in nature as this is a healing place for me that I like to encourage others to consider as a therapeutic tool.
OUTSIDE THE OFFICE, I spend a lot of time in nature as this is a healing place for me that I like to encourage others to consider as a therapeutic tool. My immediate family consists of my Wife, 2 kiddos, and lots of pets. We spend time together hiking/exploring nature, joining city-wide events, attending our kids activities , and trying new foods. REACH OUT, if you find yourself aligning with my practice, I look forward to supporting and growing with you!
First session
To help in the search, our initial meeting will be a 15-minute consultation to ensure we are compatible for each other to maximize your therapeutic experience. In our first session, we will work together to complete an intake assessment. This helps me have a baseline understanding of contributing factors and areas of support. I will walk you though questions at your own pace and work on setting goals for therapy. After this session, we will move into more conversational dialogue and start working together on processing experiences, feelings, and needs.
Strengths
Areas I am passionate about supporting are parents struggling with parenthood, family issues, childhood trauma, social justice/racism, identity/sexuality, teen challenges including school support, self-esteem, black/brown folks, and neurodivergent people. I am not limited to this scope but have gained more training or personal experiences in these areas to provide more support.
Ideal clients
I have spent time and energy creating space for LGBTQIA, Brown and Black Folks, Parents, Teens, Young Adults.
