Montgomery Counseling Group
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LCSWA, LCMHC, LCMHCA
I believe therapy works best when it is both grounded and genuinely human. My approach is collaborative, practical, and trauma-informed, with a focus on helping clients understand what is happening beneath the surface rather than simply managing symptoms.
I work with people who feel stuck in patterns of anxiety, trauma, stress, relationship conflict, or emotional overwhelm. Many of my clients are thoughtful, high-functioning people who are used to pushing through but know something deeper needs attention.
My clinical work draws from evidence-based and experiential approaches, including EMDR, Internal Family Systems-informed therapy, clinical hypnosis, and other trauma-focused methods. I am especially interested in how the nervous system, memory, emotion, and identity all interact in the healing process.
I aim to create a therapy space that is direct but compassionate, supportive but not passive. Together, we will work toward helping you make sense of your experience, reduce distress, and build a more flexible, connected way of living

Gregor Nathanael Schwarz
Psychologist, Ph.D.
Seeking a therapist who truly understands the complexity of your experience is a significant first step. I am Dr. G. Nathanael Schwarz, a licensed Clinical Psychologist dedicated to providing high-quality, evidence-based care for children (ages 5+) and adults. My practice is built on a foundation of collaboration and a non-pathologizing, holistic view of your mental health.
What sets my practice apart is an elevated standard of care that extends well beyond the therapy room. I draw on extensive experience across diverse treatment settings—from intensive residential care to outpatient support—to offer a customized, modular approach. Whether we are utilizing CBT, DBT, or trauma-informed interventions, I integrate biological, psychological, and social factors to help you navigate your challenges effectively.
Beyond individual therapy, I act as an active partner in your journey. My practice includes:
Integrated Support: I collaborate directly with schools and other healthcare providers to ensure your care is cohesive.
Practical Tools: From parent coaching and school consultation (including IEP/504 advocacy) to phone coaching for between-session support, I provide the practical tools necessary for real-world application.
Measurement-Informed Progress: I utilize data-driven screening and evaluation to ensure we are consistently tracking your progress and adjusting strategies to achieve the best possible outcomes.
If you are looking for a dedicated clinician who prioritizes evidence-based methods and comprehensive, coordinated support, I invite you to reach out.

Radu Pop
Psychologist, Psychologist, PhD
I help adults and adolescents who are dealing with depression, anxiety, life stressors, chronic illness, and relationship concerns. Living with mental health symptoms impacts everything one does in daily life. Sometimes the result might be irritability and sadness, while at other times things can feel overwhelming and anxiety inducing. With specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), health psychology and mood issues, I help clients identify their unique needs and establish achievable goals.
While at SMU, I have honed an approach grounded in clinical experience and academic training, which helps clients navigate relational challenges, identity development, and emotional issues. Drawing primarily from Experiential Therapy and integrating systemic approaches, I emphasize emotional expression, connection, and communication to support clients in exploring their personal growth while building healthier relationships.
I am currently a pre-licensed professional and I work under the supervision of Dr. Robert Kinney (Texas #37176).
11 Years Experience
Online in Winston-Salem, NC North Carolina
Winston-Salem is home to Wake Forest University School of Medicine and Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist — one of the most significant academic medical centers in the Southeast — and this concentration of medical training and research deeply shapes the quality and sophistication of its mental health clinical community. The city's tobacco heritage — once the home of R.J. Reynolds — has given way to a growing medical, technology, and arts economy, and therapists frequently work with the identity transitions of a workforce navigating this shift. The city has a large Black community with deep historical roots in the Piedmont Triad, and culturally affirming therapists who work with racial trauma and intergenerational resilience are well represented. Winston-Salem's arts and innovation culture supports strong demand for therapists experienced with creative identity and career-related stress.
