About Michael Montero, LMSW, LSW

My career has spanned clinical practice, advocacy, and policy; always with a focus on building trust as a foundation for growth. My therapeutic approach involves creating a safe space to help my clients discover themselves, providing support to lean into the discomfort that can arise with growth, and teaching tools that facilitate healing.

My advocacy experience includes international training and service in Mexico and Ghana, and I previously served as the Director of Health Policy and Advocacy at the Latino Commission on AIDS. It’s a privilege to do this work and I welcome the opportunity to support you!

I am deeply committed to providing the best possible quality care. In addition to ongoing training, I also receive doctoral-quality clinical supervision with Dr. Daniel Olavarría, DSW, LCSW (NY #086060).

Individual therapy is $120/session and couples/family therapy is $140/session. It can be difficult for people to fit therapy into their busy lives, which is why I offer a range of scheduling options including early morning, daytime, evening, and weekend sessions.
