About Me: Hi, I’m Karla Montero! I’m a bilingual graduate intern in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I offer affordable online therapy and counseling for young adults and adults (18+) through telehealth, in English and Spanish. I also offer in-person therapy, including play therapy, for younger children.

I can help with: Anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, stress, burnout, relationship issues, couples therapy, grief and loss, self-esteem, ADHD, and life transitions.

My approach: My main approaches are person-centered therapy and CBT, with a trauma-informed and culturally sensitive lens, to support self-awareness, emotional wellness, healing, and personal growth. I also have training in the Gottman Method for couples.

What to expect: I believe therapy should be a space where you feel seen, heard, respected, and empowered. I approach everyone with curiosity, empathy, and cultural humility, honoring your unique experiences, identity, and journey.

I’m honored to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your inner strength and authenticity, working toward greater balance, clarity, and self-love. Sliding-scale online therapy available. Terapia en español disponible.
