Katherine D. Montague, LICSW BFA

At Moonwell Counseling Collective, my primary focus is helping adults heal from trauma using EMDR therapy (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). Trauma can leave painful memories stuck, so instead of feeling like the past, they continue to show up in the present through anxiety, relationship struggles, or a sense of being weighed down. EMDR is a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps the brain reprocess these memories so they lose their intensity, opening the door to relief, resilience, and lasting change. Many clients come to me after years of talk therapy still feeling stuck in patterns they can’t shake. EMDR offers a different path—one that doesn’t require retelling every detail, but instead allows your brain and body to heal in a deeper way. Together we’ll create a safe, supportive space where you can process at your own pace and move toward a life that feels more grounded, authentic, and free. I bring over 10 years of experience supporting adults navigating childhood trauma, painful relationships, and major life transitions. As a certified EMDR therapist, my approach is both person-centered and collaborative. I’ll meet you where you are, bring in humor and relatability alongside the hard work, and gently challenge you to grow. Healing is serious work, but it can also include moments of lightness and laughter. I earned my Masters in Social Work from Hawaii Pacific University in 2013, completed EMDR training in 2019, and founded my private practice in 2018. Before that I worked in child welfare and community mental health, experiences that strengthened my belief that therapy is both an art and a science, requiring evidence-based tools alongside creativity and presence. Currently Moonwell Counseling Collective offers telehealth sessions across Massachusetts, with a commitment to accessibility, inclusivity, and authenticity. My practice is dedicated to clients ages 21 and older. You’ve already carried so much, for so long. Taking this step toward healing is something to be proud of, and I’d be honored to walk with you on this journey. Please note: All sessions are conducted via telehealth. Clients must reside in Massachusetts. ***If you’re a therapist interested in joining our team, please email your cover letter and resume to kat@moonwellcounselingcollective.com***
