Sara Montoya, LMHC

About me

I'm a licensed therapist in New York dedicated to supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, and trauma, helping them build resilience and reconnect with their sense of self.

My approach centers on fostering self-love, healing from past wounds, and developing healthier communication patterns. I'm particularly skilled at addressing isolation, guilt, shame, and the complex emotions that arise from abandonment, attachment struggles, and narcissistic relationships. I also support clients working through panic attacks, posttraumatic stress, caregiver burnout, financial concerns, and questions about life purpose and forgiveness.

I bring cultural awareness and spiritual sensitivity to my work, honoring the intersecting identities and values my clients bring to therapy. I believe healing happens in a space of genuine connection, where you feel seen, respected, and supported exactly as you are.

My therapeutic approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based practices. I'm here to walk alongside you as you reclaim your worth, strengthen your relationships, and move toward a life that feels more aligned with your values and goals.
