m Sam Montanez, a licensed clinical social worker and licensed clinical addiction counselor. I work with adults, teens, couples, and families, and I believe change starts when people feel safe, respected, and truly heard.

My background gives me a broader view than most. I’ve worked as an Intensive In-Home Clinician, meeting families where they live, and as a Child Study Team school social worker with the Newark Board of Education. Seeing how home life, school, and emotional health shape one another has taught me that no one struggles in isolation. Whether you’re an adult dealing with stress, anxiety, or substance use, a teen having a hard time at school or at home, a couple who wants to communicate better, or a family trying to find its footing, I look at the whole picture, not just the symptoms.

I work with teens and adults, tailoring therapy to each person’s experiences, needs, and goals. I offer a supportive space to explore challenges, build coping skills, and develop a stronger sense of self.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, PTSD, depression, OCD, eating concerns, and borderline personality disorder (BPD). My practice is LGBTQIA+ affirming, with experience supporting people navigating gender identity, gender dysphoria, and related personal and social challenges.

I draw from CBT, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness-based approaches, and Motivational Interviewing, with Trauma-Focused CBT for adolescents when appropriate. Together, we work to understand patterns, process difficult experiences, and create meaningful change. For teens, I involve parents or caregivers when appropriate while respecting the young person’s privacy and growing independence.

I take a warm, empathetic, and direct approach to working my clients. I believe that people can be incredibly resilient when they put their minds to it. Together, we can tap into your potential to strengthen your competence and tackle your goals. I will fight for you to rid yourself of unhelpful patterns and narrow the gap to the life you desire.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I strongly believe in working together to achieve your goals. My main focus is working with adults who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression or overall stress. I accept insurance through headway and provide services via simplepractice telehealth.
