With over ten years of clinical experience providing both individual and group counseling across diverse settings, I am well-equipped to support you through life's heaviest transitions. My background includes treating anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use disorders, grief, and everyday life stressors where you just need an unbiased sounding board. Additionally, I am deeply well-versed in the specialized treatment needs of perinatal and postpartum populations, as well as first responders and Veterans.

A major focus of my practice is supporting women navigating the profound shifts of pregnancy, fertility challenges, and the postpartum period. These journeys can be beautiful, but they can also feel incredibly overwhelming and isolating. If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or the intense stress of becoming a new mother, please know you don’t have to carry it alone. I provide a warm, non-judgmental space where you can feel deeply heard, supported, and understood.

Whether you are navigating a complex maternal mental health challenge or coping with severe daily stress, I bring a grounded, highly versatile approach to your care. Let’s work together to help you rediscover your strength and find your footing.

Juliany Montalbano

Juliany Montalbano

Therapist

Virtual • New Jersey


I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in New Jersey and the founder of Serene Counseling Services. Originally from Brazil, I bring a multicultural perspective to my work and offer therapy in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Psychology in Brazil and my Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from Monmouth University.

I work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, helping them navigate life's challenges, strengthen relationships, and develop healthier ways of understanding themselves and others. My areas of focus include anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, OCD, relationship and marital difficulties, parenting challenges, divorce, grief, emotional regulation, and self-esteem.

My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each individual's needs. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), play therapy, and sand tray therapy.

I believe that our past experiences, relationships, and emotional wounds can shape how we see ourselves and interact with the world. My passion is helping clients gain insight into these patterns, heal from painful experiences, and create meaningful, lasting changes.

As a mother, I also understand the joys and challenges of family life. Outside of my practice, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, exploring different cultures, exercising, and spending time outdoors, especially near the beach.

Above all, I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel genuinely heard, understood, respected, and empowered to grow.
