Emily Montgomery

My communication style

I believe in a client's right to self-determination and respect each individual's life path. I listen without judgment and want to be a safe person for each client to overcome the challenges that brought them to seek support. I understand therapy can feel uncomfortable and do my best to create a calm, welcoming, and accepting environment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always wanted to help others, but did not know in what capacity. When I was first introduced to social work, I knew it was what I was meant to do. I truly care for others and believe that each individual can overcome their challenges with support and understanding, which can give them a better quality of life.

My goals for you

I work with the client to decide what goals are desired in our time together.

Our first session

In our first session, I want to get to know my clients as much as they are willing to share or feel is relevant. This may include some information gathering about their interests, current challenges, family, and day-to-day life. I also want to discuss what their concerns are and hear what they would like to work on.
