Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is Krissel Montano I am a Bilingual Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in trauma, I work with individuals who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, and the weight of everyday stressors. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Some are carrying unresolved trauma. Others are navigating cultural pressures, family responsibilities, or major life transitions.

My approach to therapy

With over 10 years of experience in mental health and as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), I specialize in trauma-informed care. I understand how trauma, grief, anxiety, and life transitions can impact self-worth, relationships, and emotional regulation.

What you can expect from me

Therapy with me is collaborative and goal-oriented. I will support you in gaining clarity, building resilience, and taking meaningful steps toward the changes you want in your life. We move at a pace that feels safe, while still working intentionally toward your personal goals. Reaching out takes courage. I’m here to walk alongside you when you’re ready.
