About Amy
Amy Montoya is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado with 16 years of clinical experience. She brings a calm, respectful approach and aims to tailor conversations and plans to each person's needs. Amy focuses on helping people take the first steps toward change and offers steady support as they work toward clearer goals.
Before moving into private practice, Amy spent a decade as a Social Services Director in a nursing home setting. That background shaped her patience and ability to listen closely to difficult life stories. She has worked with people facing trauma and abuse, depression, relationship strain, stress, and grief.
Amy uses practical, evidence-informed methods in sessions. She draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people stay present and manage stress. She also uses Client-Centered techniques to build an accepting space and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Amy helps people set small, doable steps between appointments and practices skills together during sessions. She encourages self-compassion and realistic progress rather than quick fixes.
People who reach out can expect straightforward language, respect, and collaboration. Amy works to understand each person's history and priorities before shaping a plan. Her style is steady, warm, and practical for everyday life challenges.
