Michael Montes

Hello! I am Mike Montes, a dedicated therapist committed to helping you navigate life's challenges. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from The University of Texas at El Paso and a Master of Social Work from Our Lady of the Lake University. With a decade of experience in the mental health field—including two years in direct clinical practice—I center my care around creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and deeply engaged, ensuring you always have an open mind and a steadfast ally in your corner.

My clinical approach is rooted in collaboration, empathy, and active engagement. I believe that healing begins with a strong therapeutic relationship, which is why my first priority is providing a safe, secure, and non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are. I meet every client with an open mind, recognizing that you are the expert on your own life. Together, we will actively work through your challenges, building on your natural strengths to foster lasting growth and resilience.

Our first session is a welcoming, low-pressure introduction to therapy. We will discuss your current needs, explore your goals, and begin building our therapeutic partnership. My primary focus is to ensure you feel secure, comfortable, and actively supported as we lay the groundwork for your healing journey
