You don’t have to carry this all on your own.
I help adults heal from trauma and the quiet ways it lingers in your body, your relationships, your sense of who you are. For many of my clients, the pain started long ago: a hard childhood, a relationship that chipped away at their self-worth, or a big life change that knocked the ground out from under them. By the time they land in my (virtual or in-person) office, they’re usually exhausted from holding it all together, stuck in old patterns, and deeply ready for something to finally shift.
I bring over a decade of experience walking with adults through trauma, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions. Before starting my private practice in 2018, I worked in child welfare and community mental health, work that showed me both how resilient people are and how much support they deserve. My approach is part art, part science: I lean on evidence-based methods like EMDR, but I also bring warmth, curiosity, and real-world honesty. Therapy with me is collaborative, practical, and deeply human.
About Me: Kat Montague, LICSW
please Hear me when I say:
You’ve already carried so much, for so long...
Taking this step is something to be proud of. Healing is possible, and I’d be honored to walk alongside you as you move toward a life that feels more grounded and supported.
At the core my approach to therapy is grounded in safety, compassion, and collaboration.
How I work:
Where I work:
Together, we’ll create a supportive space where your whole self is seen and understood. I’ll meet you where you are, bring humor and humanity alongside the hard work, and gently guide you toward greater clarity, confidence, and connection with yourself. Healing is serious work, but it can also include moments of lightness and laughter.
I offer online therapy for adults anywhere in Massachusetts and in-person sessions in my Plymouth, MA office. Many of my clients live around Plymouth, the South Shore, and Cape Cod, but you’re welcome to work with me from anywhere in the state as long as you’re physically in Massachusetts during sessions.
Therapy with me is…
-
Gentle Pacing. No pressure to “jump into the deep end” before you're ready. Therapy with me is paced with your nervous system in mind.
-
I am a therapist who actually talks to you.
Not silent staring. Not “mmhmm” for 50 minutes straight.
Real conversation. Real connection. -
No pressure to have the “right” words
You can say “I’m not sure how to explain this…”
We’ll figure it out together. -
EMDR + body-based work
…but only when you feel grounded and ready.
Safety always comes first. -
Room for humor, silence, and emotions
Healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time.
Sometimes we cry. Sometimes we laugh. -
If therapy has ever felt rushed, clinical, or like you were performing —
this might feel different.
