Life moves fast and sometime we can’t keep up. Sometimes we don’t feel like we can talk to others for fear of judgment. Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you withdraw and shut down when you are struggling? Do you have thoughts come at you a mile a minute? Do those same thoughts take off into uncharted territory? It’s not uncommon, and you don’t have to feel that way forever. You might not have the tools to sort out or process these emotions. Maybe you know some skills, and are unsure how to or when to use them. These are just a few reasons why people seek therapy and I provide a supportive, non-judgmental and encouraging environment.

My name is Andrea Montano and I'm a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with over 15 years of experience working in the mental health field. My purpose and passion are inviting others into the process of transformation through greater authenticity, awareness, and choice. My therapeutic approach is to provide support and practical feedback to help clients effectively address personal life challenges. Additional training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused CBT, and Cognitive Processing Therapy. I work with adolescents and adults to navigate the challenges of emotion dysregulation, anxiety, depression, boundary setting, and develop healthy communication patterns. After clients have told their story and why they’ve chosen to commit to therapy, themes will be addressed then narrowed down to specific goals to target. I am a down-to-earth, respectful, open-minded person using an empathetic approach to assist an individual with the relief of symptoms and sort through stressors while practicing effective coping skills.

I have been a licensed therapist for 19 years. I believe the most important part of therapy is the therapeutic relationship. The therapeutic relationship is formed in a collaboration between myself and my clients in an environment of mutual acceptance and respect. In addition to my education, training and experience as a therapist I rely on my innate skills as an active listener, my good memory and genuine caring to guide me in my approach to therapy.
