Jessica Rae Montgomery (She/Her/Hers), Clinical Psychotherapist. I have dedicated my career to working with individuals with serious mental illness, specializing in crisis care and psychosis.

My therapeutic work is grounded in evidence-based modalities including CBT, Psychoanalytic, and Psychodynamic therapy—always held within a culturally responsive and client-centered lens.

I work with you to explore the unconscious roots of your present-day distress—unraveling long-standing relational patterns, internal conflicts, and attachment wounds.

Hi. I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Pennsylvania. I have a PhD in Educational Psychology and a Masters degree in Music Therapy. I also got a certification in Gestalt therapy by going to a 3 year training program. Over my career I have worked with many different populations and in many different settings. My basic approach to therapy is to use the tools and techniques that I've developed to help people become unstuck and to grow and to reach toward their full potential.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania. I received my master's degree at Holy Family University and am currently a doctoral candidate. I have worked with adults with varying concerns for 5 years in the Greater Philadelphia area. I have worked with persons with substance use disorders and co-occurring mental health. Recently, the Breining Insititute has certified me as a Co-Occurring Disorders Specialist (CCDS). I have worked with LGBTQIA+ individuals both as a volunteer and in practice and can help with many related concerns. I have experience with various diagnoses but view each client as a person and not a diagnosis. I work with each client collaboratively on the goals you set to help you meet them.

I’m a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience in community settings, transitional housing programs, and family court. With a background in the creative arts and a passion for problem-solving, I became a therapist to help others build meaningful lives—just as I sought to do for myself. I integrate clinical expertise with creativity to support clients in developing personalized coping strategies and designing the life they want to live.

Sometimes the people in our lives just don’t get it. I have worked with those managing anxiety, depression, and family and relationship challenges. I also have special experience working with older adults, artists and creatives, career challenges and burnout, and people living with HIV or other health conditions. Our lives don't often offer the non-judgmental space to work through trauma, heartache, and overwhelming stress. Talking with a therapist is different from talking with a friend or family member because you are free of obligations and responsibility. It is all about you, and I will ask helpful questions, point out connections and patterns, and simply give you space to put yourself first and talk through your experiences. If you have been to therapy before, it may help to know I have the experience and training to work with those who have received a mild, moderate, or severe mental health diagnosis, but know that it is only one piece of the puzzle. Knowledge is power. I believe in psychoeduction - teaching you as much as you like about psychology and how our brains operate.

I'm devoted to helping others become their best selves using various approaches, I meet people where they are and assist them in obtaining the results they desire. I come alongside individuals to help them overcome life's challenges with compassion and understanding. I have worked with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors with anxiety, depression, grief, and various traumatic experiences like physical, sexual, and emotional abuse, neglect, abandonment, community violence, natural disasters, and divorce. I have also worked with undocumented immigrants.

My professional focal points include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy with a person-centered approach. My therapy style is one that assists clients in becoming their own agents of change. I use a down-to-earth humanistic approach, which focuses on creating a safe and supportive environment for authentic self-expression. I blend these approaches to fit the individual needs of the client. I work from the “here and now” perspective to assist clients with building coping strategies and engaging in mindfulness activities to alleviate their concerns that motivated them to come to therapy.

I work alongside individuals who are ready to heal from trauma, reclaim their stories, and face life’s challenges with greater strength, clarity, and self-compassion. Whether you’re navigating the impacts of interpersonal violence, identity-related stress, anxiety, or transitions that feel overwhelming, I offer a grounded, collaborative space where all parts of you are welcome. Drawing from a blend of talk therapy and somatic approaches, I help clients reconnect with their inner resilience, cultivate emotional balance, and build skills that empower lasting change. Therapy with me is a relational process—centered on safety, cultural humility, and the belief that healing is possible.

I have worked at the intersection of mental health and chronic illness for the past 12 years by providing support and therapy. I work closely with people who are dealing with a variety of challenges like depression, anxiety, or who are struggling with chronic health conditions.
