Sacha Montgomery, LCPC — Therapist in Illinois

Hi there, I'm Sacha!

I use a collaborative approach with each client to create a personalized treatment plan to help you get back to a higher level of functioning. I focus on co-occurring disorders, depression, anxiety, anger, relationship conflict, communication, and work issues.

My focus

I work with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, mood disorders, anger issues, substance use disorder, sexual abuse, sex addiction, relationship conflict, as well as communication issues.

My approach

My therapeutic approach centers around CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy), Person-Centered Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

My communication style

I create an open and supportive environment for my clients. I practice a trauma-informed, non-judgmental stance to allow for safety and treatment success.

My journey to mental healthcare

I want to always be a part of the change we need. My goal has always been to help eradicate stigma and help individuals who struggle with mental illness and substance use disorder. I want every individual to be able to ask for help, even in the most daunting times. I am here to help sustain positive change.

My goals for you

I collaboratively work to set goals with clients based on the areas they feel they need improvement in. My clients are the experts of their lives. I'm here to help guide the process.

Our first session

The establishment of a positive rapport. The first session is an introduction to who we are as individuals and what we can accomplish working together as a team.
