Michael Montero
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
You may have spent years trying to make sense of who you are, yet still feel like something is missing. Maybe you've wondered where you fit, why it can feel difficult to connect with others, or whether there's room to fully be yourself.
Many of the clients I work with are reexamining long-held assumptions about themselves, exploring their relationship patterns, or navigating their evolving sense of their own identity, including culture, sexuality, or neurodivergence. Some have spent so long adapting to expectations that they find it difficult to recognize what feels most authentic to them. If any of this feels familiar, you don't have to keep searching for answers on your own.
Whether you're starting therapy for the first time or looking for something different, my goal is to create a space where you can show up as you are — without feeling like you need to over-explain or defend your experiences. Together, we'll better understand what has shaped you and find practical, sustainable ways to move forward with the life you want.
If this sounds like what you're looking for, I offer a Free 15-minute Video Consultation so we can talk about what's bringing you to therapy and see if working together feels like a good fit.

If you want your life to change in a meaningful way, but you need help determining and taking the individual steps required to meet your goals, therapy is an excellent choice. We focus on how your actions impact your circumstances, and how you can change your behavior to change the life you’re living. If that sounds like what you’re looking for, we are likely a good fit.
Neurofeedback, ADHD evals for adults, Couples counseling.
We will collaborate to set goals and track improvements as they occur. I believe we all have brand new opportunities to make new choices in each moment that will improve our lives. The power to change is not dependent on our past choices but on how we decide to live in this moment.
I work with individuals, couples, and families. I give a lot of advice and see myself as an educator who can use my knowledge to equip you with helpful tools.
I am trained in the Gottman method and believe that conflict between partners is inevitable and that improving the frequency and quality of positive interactions is vital to long-term stability of the relationship. I diagnose ADHD and report to your Medical Doctor.
I believe in the goodness of children, and that setting them up for good choices is something that rests largely in the family environment.

Paula Kirsch
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, CST
Some things are hard to say out loud. Maybe you've never quite found the words, or the right person to say them to. Maybe you've been carrying questions about your body, your desire, your relationship, or who you are, quietly and for a long time.
You don't have to do that here.
I'm Paula Kirsch, Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Certified Sex Therapist, and I work with women navigating sexual health concerns, LGBTQ+ individuals and couples, and people in ENM and kink-engaged relationships. Not as a specialty I added on, but as the heart of my practice. I understand your world, your language, and the particular weight of the things you may have never said to anyone.
Whatever you bring into this space, I'm not going to flinch, rush you, or hand you a formula. We'll sit with it together and figure out where to go from there. That's the work, and I genuinely love doing it. Book your Free Consultation on my website.
