Hi, I’m Montez, the founder of This Too Shall Pass Counseling. I’m a wife, mother to an amazing son, daughter, sister, and a travel medical social worker who understands firsthand how overwhelming life can feel when you’re carrying a lot for everyone else. The name This Too Shall Pass comes from my personal journey of faith, resilience, and learning that even the hardest seasons don’t last forever. I work with adults who are navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, burnout, and emotional overwhelm. My approach blends evidence-based therapy with faith-centered support, helping clients find clarity, healing, and practical tools they can use in everyday life. I strive to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up as you are, reconnect with your strengths, and move forward with confidence, peace, and purpose.

As a Black woman, I recognize the many stressors that exist in today’s world and understand that “adulting” brings its own set of challenges. From family dynamics and childhood trauma to work–life balance, finances, relationships, and body image, these experiences can deeply impact everyday life. While navigating these stressors can feel overwhelming, healing and growth are absolutely possible.I take a holistic, client-centered approach that considers the whole person mind, body, and environment. My goal is to support you in exploring challenges, building resilience, and developing practical tools that empower you to live more confidently and authentically. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and confidential space where you can show up as your full self. Together, we will work in a way that respects your lifestyle, values, and unique experiences while helping you move toward the life you want to live

My name is Claudia Ibal, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who earned licensure in 2021. I have approximately seven years of experience specializing in substance use counseling, while also providing behavioral health services to individuals and families experiencing a wide range of mental health concerns. My clinical experience includes conducting comprehensive psychosocial assessments, providing individualized and brief therapy, implementing evidence-based interventions, crisis intervention, and coordinating care with interdisciplinary treatment teams to support clients’ overall well-being. My approach to therapy is client-centered, compassionate, culturally responsive, and strength-based. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to make meaningful changes in their lives. I draw from evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and trauma-informed care to meet each client's unique needs and goals. My ideal clients are individuals who are motivated to improve their quality of life, whether they are navigating substance use challenges, mental health concerns, life transitions, relationship difficulties, or stress-related issues. I enjoy working with clients who are seeking practical tools, emotional support, and guidance as they build resilience, strengthen coping skills, and move toward lasting personal growth. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to helping clients access resources, overcome barriers, and achieve meaningful, sustainable change.

Perinatal Mental Health
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a certification in perinatal mental health (PMH-C). I specialize in supporting individuals through pregnancy, postpartum, and the early transition into parenthood. My experience working with families in the NICU is what really sparked my passion for this work. I saw firsthand how overwhelming, emotional, and isolating that experience can be—especially for parents of medically fragile or hospitalized newborns. That work continues to deeply shape how I support clients today. I work with people navigating a wide range of perinatal experiences, including anxiety, depression, trauma, identity shifts, and the emotional challenges that can come with becoming a parent. This period of life can bring a lot of unexpected feelings, and it’s not uncommon to feel unsure, anxious, or unlike yourself. I also recognize that opening up during pregnancy or postpartum can feel especially vulnerable, particularly when there’s fear of being judged or not feeling like the parent you “should” be. Many people carry a lot silently during this time, and it can take real courage to reach out for support. I aim to create a space that feels steady, supportive, and grounded, where you can talk openly about what you’re going through without feeling like you have to filter or hold back. If you’re navigating a difficult pregnancy, postpartum experience, or early parenting challenges, you don’t have to go through it alone.

I specialize in holding space for the deep-thinkers and cycle-breakers, the individuals who have spent a lifetime looking inward and dismantling generational patterns, yet still feel the friction of a world demanding 'more' at the expense of 'being.' My approach combines a lifelong passion for psychology and therapeutic processes with a multicultural, spiritually grounded worldview. As a mother, a doctoral candidate, and a business owner, I don't just teach boundaries; I live them. I am a 'Keturah-sized' bridge in the wellness gap for those who have cycled through therapists searching for a peer who truly sees them. Together, we intentionally move past the '15 tasks by yesterday' mentality and into a strategic, soul-deep architecture of rest, healing, and expansion.

https://sherryyamlcsw.com Hi, I am a trauma consultant who graduated from the University of Southern California, with years of culturally diverse EMDR therapy experience since 2011. My expertise is to tailor research-supported EMDR therapy with highly successful expat, AAPI professionals (e.g. Journalists, Actors, Scientists, Corporate Leaders, Producers, First Responders) who experience a Medical Related Trauma, Fear of Flying, Stage Fright, Phobia, Unprocessed Grief, car accidents, wild fires, War Trauma or Cultural Issues. I received my trauma training at the National Center for PTSD and the EMDR Trauma Recovery Humanitarian Assistance Program. In our society, we overlook the necessity of trauma work for our highly successful leaders. Many of my clients come to me are specifically looking for EMDR therapy to resolve barriers so they can be a better leader and find a better work-life balance. Others come to me for EMDR therapy after they tried talk therapy for years and didn’t see the progress they hope for.

I was born in Managua, Nicaragua but moved to the United States at a young age. I can say that I’ve learned to appreciate, value, and grow from every experience given in life. Good or bad experiences can potentially shape who we are. They can impact our view and perspective about life, and make us stronger to overcome challenges we face throughout our journey or disable us temporarily, making the journey less enjoyable and pleasing. I always had a strong desire to help others. I found in Psychology and Therapy a good option to provide others the needed tools to move forward, so they can find within them the strength to push toward a better and more productive lifestyle. I view therapy as a safe place to explore relationships, whether those relationships are with people (family, co-workers, partner) or things (food, money, alcohol). I also feel an important part of therapy is addressing the social, economic, and cultural influences on a person.
