Olivia Montez, MA, LPC

Illusory (adj.): implies a false impression based on deceptive resemblance or faulty observation, or influenced by emotions that prevent a clear view. How have your experiences impacted your thoughts and shaped your worldview? Let's explore your worldview together, Dora style. While I am open to assisting with a variety of concerns, I have a special interest in aiding autistic adults (ASD), those experiencing symptoms related to OCD, ADHD, anxiety-related concerns, and couples in making lemonade out of life's lemons. Additionally, I am experienced in providing support for topics including: • Spirituality • Incarceration • Parenthood • Trauma • Life transitions I tend to take a holistic approach to concerns as I feel that it is important to identify how life's circumstances are making an impact. Some things that I enjoy include humor, deep conversations, coffee, gaming, jet skiing, animals, and my husband/kids. I completed my internship at the Ohio State University Nisonger Center where I supported young autistic adults, many of whom were also navigating a range of mental health concerns. I have completed Gottman Method level 1 and SYMBIS training for couples counseling as well as numerous hours of training from NOCD Academy for OCD-related concerns. I am licensed by the Ohio Counselor, Social Worker, and Marriage and Family Board. My license can be verified here: elicense.ohio.gov Be careful about what you think; your thoughts run your life.
