About Us...
Norma Montenegro, LCSW
Owner - Licensed Therapist- Adjunct Professor
Although things may seem overwhelming at times, I know change is possible. I've seen this with countless clients and can guide you in reaching your goals. I will root for you, advocate for you and teach you the necessary skills to succeed. My commitment to our work is that it may be challenging, but you won't have to face it alone.
I am a licensed therapist who has worked in mental health as a Clinical Social Worker for 15 years - I truly feel a genuine passion for helping my clients resolve their traumas and unhealthy dynamics to reach their goals.
You've already started the process of looking for help, which is the hardest part. The rest of the process, we can walk through together. Call or schedule a free introduction session so we can talk about your needs and see how I can help you break down the barriers that have occupied space and prevented you from living the best version of yourself.
Expertise and Credentials
...
My expertise includes working with unresolved trauma, anxiety, depression and maladaptive family dynamics. I have extensive experience helping the LGBTQIA+ community in relationships and individual needs. I also run multi-family group treatment that focuses on coping skills for managing a spectrum of mental health issues.
I have also worked as an adjunct professor teaching master level students how to be the best future therapists! I recognize the complex nature of caring for someones mental health and want to make sure future providers have the necessary skills to help.
Additionally, I am bilingual as well as bi-cultural and use that lens to provide empathetic and inclusive care. I am a firm believer in culturally competent care. As a person of color, I regularly educate myself on the most up-to-date evidence-based treatment for our community. I am a gender-affirming therapist who not only welcomes but celebrates LGBTQIA+ individuals. I will always provide a safe and empowered space for treatment.
My mission will always be to improve the overall mental health of my clients and support their therapeutic life goals, through evidenced-based methods, that work.
