Jean Marie Monty, PhD, is a dedicated psychologist who believes that every client is unique, each bringing their own values, beliefs, motivations, and personality to the therapeutic space. The problems addressed in her practice are reflections of each client’s personal journey—shaped by their past experiences and influencing their present and future. With experience working with young children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, her career began in 1988 as a school psychologist, consultant, and psychotherapist across various educational and clinical settings. After earning her doctorate in Educational Psychology in 1993, she has focused her practice in a private setting. Jean’s therapeutic approach integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and family systems, all aimed at helping clients and their loved ones find greater happiness, health, and engagement with life. She recognizes that navigating difficult decisions and life transitions can be stressful, drawing from her background as a mother, role model, educator, and clinician to address her clients' concerns sensitively. For those seeking deeper understanding, Jean also conducts psychological evaluations, providing invaluable insight into individual needs.
