Angie Tamayo Montero

¡Hola! I am Angie Tamayo Montero, a bilingual and bicultural Spanish-speaking Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Washington, dedicated to supporting individuals, children, and families since 2019. As both a therapist and a mother, I blend evidence-based treatments with a holistic approach to help you build inner strength. My passion lies in guiding you through anxiety, depression, trauma, and unique life transitions—including the immigration experience and bicultural identity. Together, we will honor how your social world shapes your healing, walking side-by-side as allies so you can reconnect with your inner wisdom, breathe freely, and truly be yourself. When I am not in the therapy room, you can find me playing with my daughter, tending to my plants, listening to music, and recharging with my community.

I take a holistic, integrative, and culturally relevant approach to therapy that honors your mind, body, and heart. My work is deeply rooted in evidence-based frameworks like CBT, trauma-informed care, and play therapy, blended with somatic practices and mindfulness. I collaborate with you as an ally to create a safe space where we can decolonize social constructs and live more fully in the present moment. By tailoring tools to your unique social context, I help you reconnect with your inner wisdom and build true agency. Together, we will work as a team to support your alignment with your most authentic self.

In our first session, you can expect a warm, compassionate, and deeply welcoming environment where you can breathe freely and truly be yourself. We will take the time to gently explore your current challenges, your unique identity, and what you hope to gain from our work together. My main goal for our initial meeting is to establish a safe partnership and start building a foundation of trust. We will begin mapping out an integrative path forward, focusing on your emotional well-being and inner strength. You will leave our session feeling heard, valued, and supported as we begin this healing journey.
