Getting to know Kristen Montiel

Hi, I'm Dr. Kristen Montiel. If you're here, chances are something in your relationship, or within yourself, feels harder than it should. You might be: -Overthinking, anxious, or needing reassurance in relationships - Feeling disconnected from your partner, even when things seem to be going okay -Trying to repair after a betrayal or affair and unsure how to move forward - You are a high-achieving, self-aware person who's frustrated that insight hasn't led to change yet I specialize in working with high-achieving individuals and couples, including those navigating affair recovery, parenthood, anxiety, and relationship disconnection. I know searching for a therapist can be a daunting process but I'm so glad you're here! With over 15 years of experience and training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and the Gottman Method, I help clients understand the deeper patterns driving their experiences and how to actually change them. My goal is to help you feel more secure, connected, and confident in your relationships and in yourself.

I appreciate that Kristen remembers details I've brought up in past sessions. I also value how Kristen checks in to see who things are going beyond the topics I bring to each meeting. And lastly I really enjoy the proactive tips Kristen shares with me as I think through how to approach a problem.
