Angela Montgomery LISW

I have a 10 year history working with individuals and children who have experienced trauma. I have worked with domestic violence, individuals being sex trafficked, abusive/toxic relationships, and individuals who have witnessed and experienced violence.

I have worked with many clients facing depression and overwhelming feelings. I understand that depression is more than just sadness—it can include symptoms like feeling emotionally numb, struggling to engage in activities you once enjoyed, and experiencing a significant loss of energy.

I have worked with many individuals dealing with anxiety and have also navigated my own journey with it. This personal experience enables me to bring a deeper level of understanding and empathy to our sessions. I offer extensive knowledge on effective coping strategies and techniques to help you process and manage anxious thoughts.

Attachment theory offers valuable insights into why we engage in certain relationship patterns. I often incorporate this framework in therapy sessions to help clients gain a deeper understanding of themselves and use that awareness to grow and transform their relationship dynamics.

I am DBT-certified and have several years of experience applying Dialectical Behavior Therapy with individuals. DBT offers a wealth of practical skills that bring a more action-oriented approach to therapy, providing exercises designed to foster the growth and change clients are striving for. DBT helps individuals achieve a balance between logical thinking and emotional responses, fostering a more integrated and effective decision-making process.

I use CBT to help clients recognize and challenge negative thought patterns they may be struggling with. Together, we explore the interconnectedness of thoughts, feelings, and actions, examining how each influences and impacts the others. We collaborate on setting goals and identifying coping skills that will support them on their journey to mental well-being.
