Patricia Montague

I am a dedicated school-based social worker providing therapeutic support to children and adolescents within the school setting. I hold a Licensed Master Social Worker license and am committed to supporting students’ emotional, behavioral, and social well-being so they can succeed both academically and personally.

In my role, I provide individual and group therapy, crisis support, and ongoing collaboration with families, teachers, and school staff. I work with students experiencing anxiety, depression, emotional regulation challenges, behavioral concerns, peer and family relationship difficulties, and school-related stressors. My approach is strengths-based, trauma-informed, and developmentally appropriate, meeting students where they are while helping them build coping skills, emotional insight, and resilience.

I believe in creating a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where students feel heard, valued, and empowered. By partnering closely with caregivers and school teams, I strive to support the whole child and promote long-term emotional growth and success.
