Great to meet you!

Greetings and Bienvenidos! A warm welcome to Peace in Purpose Counseling. I welcome you to take a journey of exploration into learning more about yourself, your peace and your life purpose. My name is Erika Monique Montoya and I am a licensed professional counselor, national certified counselor.

My approach to therapy

My therapeutic style is naturally person centered and I embody a humanistic approach. I am experienced in working with children, adolescents, adults, families and couples. I am experienced in working with trauma and grief. My educational program was accredited by the Council for Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP).

What you can expect from me

I do adhere to different therapeutic modalities in treating the client's needs. I have specific training in eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, parent child interaction therapy, trauma and grief component therapy, grief counseling, and sand tray therapy. I have eighteen years of experience working in the areas of mental health and public service. Always expect a session that offers a safe place, for vulnerability and therapeutic intervention that is experiential.
