Nancy Montes
Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
About Nancy
I’m a licensed therapist in California with extensive experience supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. Over my career, I’ve worked with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, and self-esteem concerns, helping them build resilience and reconnect with their sense of self-worth.
My approach centers on creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore what matters most to you. I specialize in working with posttraumatic stress, postpartum depression, and communication difficulties—areas where I’ve developed deep expertise in helping clients heal and strengthen their relationships.
I’m committed to honoring your values and worldview as we work together. Whether you’re processing grief, rebuilding self-love, or learning new ways to communicate, I’m here to support your journey with authenticity and care.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I’m honored to walk alongside you.

Most people (including therapists) cannot fathom how hard my job is, the politics, the danger, etc... I don't have time to explain that, I need to dig into my issues, Nancy gets that. Thank you!”
