GROWTH AND SUCCESS BEYOND THE WALLS OF TREATMENT
Therapeutic Services
QUALITY CARE
I provide multiple therapeutic services that are individualized to a client's needs. For example, I practice Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). All of these models are evidenced based approaches used to improve individual and family functioning. Furthermore, I utilize traditional approaches in creative ways. For example, clients are encouraged to draw, sing, dance, act out, play sports, or venture outside of the therapy room in appropriate ways in order to encourage the unique process of healing. However, if clients are more comfortable inside, I will ensure privacy/confidentiality, and self paced change as appropriate.
In therapy, clients will work on self directed goals with my guidance and expertise. I uniquely tailor each approach to every client in order to ensure the best quality care.

EXPERIENCE CHANGE WITH MONTALVO PSYCHOLOGICAL SERVICES, LLC
What to Expect in Therapy
The beginning of therapy is a time to create a bond and get to know one another. It is also a time to assess the types of goals you would like to work on throughout your time in therapy.
​
After assessing the reasons for attending therapy and determining appropriate goals, you can expect to take an active approach with Montalvo Psychological Services. Depending on your needs, exercises will be taught and practiced in session and outside therapeutic homework may be assigned.
Once goals are met, clients will begin the termination process where maintenance skills are taught in order to continue improvement past the walls of therapy.
Privacy and Confidentiality
WITH YOU EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
Protecting Your Private Information
CONFIDENTIALITY
All information discussed in session is considered confidential. Confidentiality is a client's right to maintain treatment information kept between the therapist and him/herself. Furthermore, if your child is my client, his/her information will remain private. There are exceptions to confidentiality, such as disclosures with and without the client's permission. Written permission will allow for most disclosures. Other disclosures without your permission are those regarding patient safety or as requested by the law.
Confidentiality will be discussed throughout treatment and is encouraged to be discussed by the client if there are any uncertainties or concerns. Client-specific issues can be discussed in person during session.
