Welcome! In person sessions now offered! Insurance accepted. Please click the link below to create your profile for services. Mental health has been my passion for over 20 years. With a license in Florida and Virginia, I believe in providing accessibility to these services, to ALL who need it, not just who can afford it. When we have a healthy mind, we can achieve the overall well being that we are striving for. Many of us feel that we will "never get it right" or that we "are inherently flawed", creating a mindset of failure. Keeping that in mind, I approach each person with a realistic view that is personable and authentic.

Our current political and economic climates give many causes for concern. It can affect daily life, such as work, home, school, and social circles, essentially taking the fun out of what was once pleasurable. The same things that DO seem to help can eventually cause more pain. Who can you talk to when no one is listening? It would be helpful to have someone to talk to who can be objective, non-judgmental, and open-minded...but who could that be? Hello, I'm Montavious. What sets me apart is an ear for listening, a guiding approach, and an interest in helping you to overcome these obstacles.

Clients I work with are dealing with real consequences. Substance use, mental health issues, or both have reached a point where something has to change. Many are referred for evaluations, including DOT SAP services in FL, NH, and GA, or need substance use or mental health assessments for court or treatment. Others are stuck in relapse patterns or poor decisions that are not improving. I provide clear, defensible evaluations and direct, structured treatment. The focus is honesty, accountability, and real change, not surface level work.
