Jose Montoya

Hi, I’m Jose Montoya, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I work with adults who may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, depressed, burned out, or unsure of how to move forward. I believe therapy works best when you feel understood as a whole person, not judged or reduced to a diagnosis.

I value the connection between culture, family, lived experience, and emotional health. My goal is to help you better understand what you are carrying, build practical tools for day-to-day life, and create space for healing at a pace that feels safe and realistic.

I also speak Spanish and can do session in Spanish.

My approach to therapy is warm, supportive, and down-to-earth. I want clients to feel comfortable showing up as they are, without feeling judged or rushed. I see therapy as a collaborative process where we work together to better understand what you are experiencing and what kind of change you are hoping for.

In our first session, my main goal is to get to know you and help you feel comfortable with the process. We will talk about what brought you to therapy, what has been feeling difficult, and what you are hoping to get out of our work together. You do not have to have everything figured out before we begin.

I will ask some questions about your background, current stressors, symptoms, relationships, strengths, and past experiences with therapy if you have had any. This helps me understand the bigger picture and how to best support you. I also want to hear what has and has not worked for you in the past.
