Diego Montoya is a bilingual Licensed Professional Counselor Associate passionate about supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and individuals from the Latinx and  LGBTQ+ communities. Raised in Eagle Pass, Texas, he understands the importance of culturally responsive care and the value of building a safe, welcoming space where clients can feel truly  seen and supported.  He has a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Texas at San Antonio and has worked in nonprofit, community-based settings with youth in foster care and families coping with grief and loss. He has experience working with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem challenges, and grief.  My therapeutic approach is trauma-informed, client-centered, and collaborative. He incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients explore the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors—while also integrating expressive arts and sand tray interventions for those who benefit from more creative, nonverbal ways of processing. Outside of my work, I enjoy being outdoors, staying active, playing video games, and watching anime. Diego accepts private pay rates only and has evening appointments open.
