Getting to know Crystal Montoya
Crystal R. Montoya is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Texas who has been practicing since 2021. She completed her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology at Schreiner University and her Master’s degree in Social Work at Texas State University. Crystal strives to meet clients where they are at, understanding that every client is different. She uses Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI) as a starting point with all clients to help establish rapport and determine the goals they’d like to work on. Crystal believes it is essential to maintain an inviting, “open-door” policy that encourages clients to be as open and honest as possible. She has experience and knowledge of 504 accommodations and IEPs and specializes in crisis management, including suicidal ideation, self-harm, and social anxiety. Outside of work, Crystal enjoys spending time with her friends, family, and her cat Boots. She also enjoys listening to music, reading, taking walks outside (when it’s not too hot!), catching up on her favorite shows, and taking Zumba classes to dance!
