Patricia L. Montoya, Psy.D., LLC

My approach is grounded in humanistic-existential and cognitive-behavioral therapies; however, over the years, other influences have included psychodynamic as well as strength and mindfulness-based approaches. Have you tired of the psychological jargon yet? Okay. I approach each client as having unique needs and I tailor my interventions to best fit those needs. Whether you need LGBT couple's therapy, interracial couple's therapy, or individual therapy, I can do it all. Therapy can be a life-changing process that allows clients to grow by gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. The therapy process requires an environment that the client experiences as “safe.” I do this best by being genuine, warm and empathic. My approach is also open and very collaborative. Collaboration in this context means that we are partnering in this venture. I will encourage you to participate in defining problems and setting goals. This is about you and I want to help you reach your therapy goals.
