Thank you for being here. My goal is to support people in healing the deepest, most hidden parts of themselves.

I specialize in supporting adults navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. My ideal clients often come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, stuck in painful patterns, disconnected from themselves, or weighed down by past experiences that continue to shape their emotions, relationships, and daily lives. Together, we create space to better understand those experiences and begin building a path toward healing and growth.

I started my career in New York City then moved my practice to the sunny state of Florida. My experience over the past 15 years is working with adults navigating everything from everyday stress to deeper emotional wounds. Life gets complicated sometimes, but you don't have to do it alone! Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people through their most vulnerable moments—and watching them rediscover their strength, gain clarity and build confidence.

Congratulations on your courageous decision to seek help! Self-awareness is the first step to change and I go above and beyond to help those like you who choose to actively help themselves. Understand that the path to self-discovery and growth is not easy. It involves commitment, personal investment, and a desire to delve into the process of growth, healing, and self-love.

Lidiar con una tristeza profunda que no desaparece, vivir con el cuerpo en constante alerta por la ansiedad, o sentir que el pasado sigue doliendo en el presente a través de recuerdos y bloqueos, es una experiencia agotadora. Si te encuentras atravesando por procesos de trauma, estrés postraumático (TEPT), ansiedad, depresión o los desafíos de un trastorno de la personalidad, quiero que sepas que hay un camino hacia la calma.

Mi nombre es Maria Isabel Montalvo y soy psicoterapeuta especializado/a en salud mental compleja y terapia relacional. En mi consulta encontrarás un espacio de absoluta seguridad, confidencialidad y respeto, libre de juicios, diseñado para procesar tus heridas y regular tus emociones a tu propio ritmo.

I am licensed in Florida with multiple years of experience. I have experience in helping clients with mental health problems. Currently, my focus is Anxiety and Depression.

I specialize in mood disorders (including depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety (generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety), and trauma-related conditions including PTSD. I am deeply committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health — and I understand firsthand how shame and silence can stand in the way of healing and daily functioning. Outside of work, I'm a parent who enjoys going to the pool and playing board games with my children, which keeps me grounded in the everyday joys that matter most.

My practice style is open minded, solution focused, and direct to the point. I love to help any individual from a humanistic point of view. I am extremely empathetic, love to be honest and being honest with my patients is key in my every day practice.
