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. You don’t have to have everything figured out before reaching out for support. Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or simply tired of carrying things on their own—and that’s a perfectly okay place to begin. I offer a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and explore what’s been weighing on you without judgment.
