About

Michelle Montgomery, LCSW, RYT

LinkedIn

My passion for supporting emergency responders developed through my experience as a social worker in the Emergency Department and as a mental health clinician at the Multnomah County Detention Center, where I frequently collaborated with police, firefighters, nurses, and crisis mental health professionals. While establishing my clinical practice in New York City, I found it exhilarating to witness how the city came together in solidarity and resilience during critical moments of crisis. Additionally, my experience working with emergency responders in Portland, Oregon, during challenging periods of heightened community tension and public health emergencies has further reinforced my perspective on the importance of supporting our first responders who are in crisis.

*At this time, I am only doing virtual sessions. I have an office in Eugene, and I am working on getting office space in Portland. In-person sessions can be established on a case by case basis.
