Getting to know Loretta Baker-Montgomery

My approach I am certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). Other approaches I use include Person-Centered Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My focus I have been an outpatient mental health therapist for over 20 years, specializing in treating adults with trauma, depression, anxiety, and grief. I have been providing EMDR treatment since 2015 and have offered EMDR via telehealth for the last five years. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Missouri State University. My communication style As a therapist, I strive to create a warm, calming, and supportive atmosphere where clients can explore their truths without fear of judgment. My goal is for clients to feel safe with me and allow me the privilege of being part of their healing journey. My journey to mental healthcare As a college student, I was first introduced to the mental health field while working in a residential facility for teens. Although working with children and teens was both challenging and fulfilling, my focus shifted as I experienced my own life changes. I developed a desire to help others through trauma after experiencing grief and loss in my own life and witnessing family members struggle with trauma. My own healing journey has motivated me to support others who have experienced loss and trauma. My goals for you The client and I work together to establish client-centered goals. These goals are fluid and ever-changing to meet the client's needs. My first session with you The first session will explore what brought you to therapy, your goals, personal concerns, history, and symptoms. I also encourage you to ask me questions and determine if I am someone you feel you can trust with your story.
