About

Phoebe Montgomery

I am a Registered Social Worker with the Ontario College of Social Workers (OCSWSSW), an Associate Member of the Ontario Association of Family Mediators (OAFM), and I have 28 years of experience working with families. I am dedicated to helping individuals and families reach their full potential.

​

My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space for individuals and families to heal, grow, and thrive. I have a relational approach to therapy which is grounded in empathy, compassion, and evidence based practices. I use a variety of modalities including cognitive-behavioral therapy, trauma-focused therapy and family systems therapy to tailer treatment to your unique needs and goals.

As a Registered Social Worker, and a Family Mediator, I specialize in working with children, adolescents and adults who have experienced abuse, neglect, trauma, or other challenging life events. I also work with families dealing with divorce, parenting time challenges and other family related issues.

​

If you or your loved ones are struggling with emotional or behavioral difficulties, I am here to help. 

​

Our first step together will be meeting for a complimentary consultation, either virtually or by phone. This is an opportunity  to discuss your needs and goals for the therapy process. In this consultation I will share with you more about myself and my approach and we can discuss any questions you might have. It is important that we both feel like this will be a good fit and that we are confident that my skills, style and experience will meet your needs. I am happy to provide you with any referrals should we feel that other services are needed. Once we establish that we will move forward, we will begin creating a plan that meets your needs to achieve your goals. I look forward to hearing from you!

Experience



I have a passion for working with families, supporting parents and partners, to improve their relationships and connections to one another.

Since I first started in the field of Social Work in 1994, I have worked with parents and their children to create healthy and safe relationships. 

​

Stress, anxiety, isolation and overwhelming situations or feelings can quickly make life seem unbearable. In these moments, having an empathetic, genuine and non- judgmental clinician to help understand and process feelings can make all the difference. I am a registered social worker with a wealth of experience providing collaborative, strength based and client focused support to individuals and families struggling with a variety of issues that are negatively impacting their social, emotional and mental well-being. I am dedicated to providing support and encouragement throughout your therapeutic journey.
