Lizbeth Montes, MSW, LCSW

Therapist

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Pursuing therapy is courageous work, and I commend you for starting on this path. As your therapist, we will collaborate to access meaningful relief from distress, create alleviating strategies to address anxious or depressive symptoms, discern what is most meaningful or important to you, and enhance your life so that it can be as fulfilling as possible. I truly believe that with support and understanding, you have the ability and resilience to achieve your goals and face life's toughest challenges.

Professional Experience

I am a licensed clinical social worker and have been in practice for 5 years. I received my Master’s Degree from the University of Illinois Chicago. Throughout my work as a clinical therapist, the most meaningful experiences have been witnessing someone access their own relief. Reaching out for help is a great challenge, and please know that you are ready for it. I encourage you to reach out for a phone consultation.

My Philosophy

I work especially well with teens and young adults and have significant training and experience with those struggling with aspects of adjustment/life transition, depressed mood, anxiety, traumatic experiences, and culturally informed treatment for Latinx. My clinical approach is eclectic utilizing CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma informed approaches.
