In the therapeutic setting, I use an eclectic approach by blending a person-centered spirit with CBT, DBT and solution-focused techniques. The goal is to provide a safe space where you can explore, address, accept, and talk through life’s challenges. When we seek to, “Live life on life’s terms,” that can get complicated. It is my belief everyone needs a place to process their specific difficulties. I have a team mindset and by being part of your "WE," I can lend the professional support needed to begin the work of personal development and change. Let's find solutions for better stress management and good mental health.
Hello! My name is Amy Montgomery, and I'm a licensed professional counselor in Pennsylvania providing in-person as well as online counseling options for you. I have been providing therapeutic services for adults struggling with a range of issues including substance use disorders, problems with self-esteem, anxiety, depression, relationships, and grief.
My hope is to partner with you and help you find a way to navigate through your world. We will collaborate to identify, goal-map, and apply coping strategies for life's challenges. If you feel that you are in a place that seems overwhelming or confusing, if you feel emotionally stuck and need help, let's meet. Together, we will figure out a plan that works.
