“I really enjoy her approach for my teen that doesn’t want to talk. She’s been able to get bits and pieces out and secure some excellent foundations for my child to hear, know, and put into use. As well as a plan in the event things get worse, or as they continue to get better. She’s excellent.”

Getting to know Natalie Montenegro
I am a first-generation, bilingual Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 15 years of experience providing trauma-informed, culturally responsive mental health care. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating acculturation stress, complex family dynamics, anxiety, trauma, and high-pressure roles-including first responders, healthcare professionals, and those experiencing maternal and perinatal mental health challenges.
My approach is collaborative, personalized, and grounded in evidence-based therapy. I integrate Brainspotting for trauma processing and nervous system regulation, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients reduce anxiety, build coping skills, and create meaningful, sustainable change.
As a culturally attuned therapist, I believe therapy should honor your lived experience-not a one-size-fits-all model. I strive to create a supportive, affirming space where clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped to navigate life’s challenges with resilience, clarity, and confidence.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Upon completing our initial goals and treatment goals are agreed upon, we will begin the process of growth and expansion into greater understanding. Together, we will gain insight into "the why" and learn how to develop interventions, specific to you, that facilitate the increase of the desired emotional state.
More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
