Michael Montero, LCSW, LICSW
College can be an exciting time of growth and discovery, but it can also bring stress, uncertainty, and questions about who you are and where you’re headed. I believe therapy should be a warm, affirming, and judgment-free space where you can be yourself, make sense of what you’re experiencing, and figure out what you need to thrive.
I work with college students navigating anxiety, stress management, ADHD, relationship issues, queer and racial identity, and executive functioning. Together, we’ll build self-awareness and practical strategies that fit the way you think, learn, and live—while helping you develop healthier habits, stronger boundaries, and more meaningful connections.
My approach is grounded in equity, inclusion, and cultural humility. I’m committed to understanding you within the context of your identities, experiences, culture, and relationships.
Whether you’re struggling to stay organized, figuring out who you are, navigating relationships, or simply feeling stuck, you don’t have to figure it all out alone. I’m here to help you better understand yourself and build the skills and confidence to create a life that feels like your own.
Reach out for a Free 15-minute Video Consultation to see if we’re a good fit.
