Grace Berke Montgomery, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Grace!

I bring compassionate expertise to help individuals navigate their unique challenges and achieve mental health goals. Through a collaborative approach, I create a safe and supportive environment for growth and healing.

My focus

I work with individuals from adolescents to older adults, addressing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, substance use, grief, relational issues, and trauma. I specialize in supporting active duty service members and their families, helping them navigate the unique stressors and challenges they face.

My approach

My therapeutic approach is grounded in unconditional positive regard, recognizing the inherent worth and potential of each individual. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, and Family Systems, tailoring my approach to best suit your specific needs.

My communication style

Open, honest, and collaborative communication is the cornerstone of our therapeutic relationship. I create a non-judgmental space where you feel heard, validated, and empowered. We work together to set goals, monitor progress, and make adjustments as needed.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey in mental healthcare began with a deep desire to make a positive difference in people's lives. I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, continually expanding my knowledge and honing my skills to provide the highest quality of care.

My goals for you

My goal is to empower you with the tools, insights, and resilience needed to navigate life's challenges and thrive. Whether you seek to manage symptoms, heal from past wounds, improve relationships, or achieve personal growth, I support you every step of the way.

Our first session

During our first session, we focus on building a foundation of trust and understanding. I listen attentively to your story, concerns, and goals, asking questions to gain a comprehensive picture of your unique situation.
