Getting to know Makeka Montgomery

Makeka Montgomery is a Licensed Master Social Worker who works with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing adversity, trauma, grief, family conflict, and other significant life challenges. She has a particular interest in helping clients rebuild stability, strengthen relationships, and develop the skills needed to move forward after difficult experiences. Before becoming a therapist, Makeka served as an Army medic. That experience shaped her ability to remain steady during crises while supporting individuals facing some of life's most challenging moments. Her background continues to influence her work with clients who are coping with stress, loss, transition, and recovery. Makeka utilizes evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Her work focuses on practical skill development, emotional regulation, improved communication, and helping clients translate insight into meaningful action. Makeka's approach is compassionate, engaged, and straightforward. She works collaboratively with clients to identify strengths, overcome obstacles, and create lasting change both inside and outside the therapy room. “We delight in the beauty of the butterfly but rarely admit the changes it has gone through to achieve that beauty.” -Maya Angelou

What should a new client know about working with you?

My therapy is grounded in three principles that I hold as truths. 1. A good therapist is aware that they do not have the answers but the tools to help the client find the answers. 2. Life is full of lessons that constantly repeat themselves. These lessons are designed to teach us the tools needed to be the best versions of ourselves. 3. Everything we experience is designed for our good. It is our job to find the good in challenges and grow into the best possible version of ourselves.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

At our first meeting, I want to truly understand what brought you here. I often rely on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) because of its transformative power. Together, we'll uncover how your thoughts shape your emotions. I'm here to support and guide you, helping you challenge those thoughts. Let's work side by side, paving your path to greater emotional peace and clarity.
