Meet your therapist

Kevin Montiel, LCSW (he/him)

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a queer, cisgender man of Latinx descent. I work with people 13 and older, with an emphasis on LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC clients.

I see everyone as a set of intersecting identities, each shaping your story in its own way. I meet you where you are, keep the work client-centered, and let you lead where therapy goes.
