Marion Montgomery

My communication style

I am passionate and want you to feel that I have your back. I listen, hear, and understand. From the first session, you'll know I'm here to support you and meet you right where you are, with no preconceived judgments or biases.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my career as an engineer. I thought it would be my life's work. Who knew that it was the foundation and the catalyst that would lead me to do what I do now...helping others. When my career and life became unstable and unpredictable, I turned to self-help books. I became the "go-to" person friends needed an ear or an answer to a problem.

My goals for you

Is to work with the client and develop a plan that will help you to move from where you are to where you want to be. We will work together to define your goals and to ensure that the goals are doable and can be accomplished in a timely manner. The ultimate goal of therapy is to help the client develop the skills, techniques, and confidence.

Our first session

Our first session together is all about you, getting to know you, understanding your concerns, and the expectations of your therapeutic process. I will share briefly about who I am and what you can expect from me as your therapist. One of the goals for the first session is also the process of building rapport and answering any questions you have.
