Know yourself. Trust yourself. Transform yourself.

Therapy for the curious, the stuck, and everyone in between.

Therapy for the whole, complicated you.

Whether from the comfort of your couch or mine, therapy is a place to get to know all aspects of yourself. Maybe you notice yourself being guarded or defensive at times, and open and vulnerable at others. In some situations confidence shines; in others you're riddled with doubt. A part of you just wants to rest, while another is driven to accomplish big things.

Working from a neuroscience-informed foundation, every session draws from a range of today's most innovative approaches — practical, tailored to you, and aimed at real change in how you feel, how you think, and how you move through the world.

Meet Patty

Patty Montagnino holds a Master's Degree in Social Work from Fordham University and brings over 20 years of experience in mental health. She combines a range of today's most innovative, neuroscience-informed approaches in ways that are practical and tailored to each client — with the goal of real change in how you feel, how you think, and how you move through the world.

Patty is a Master Level Practitioner of Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), an RTM Protocol (Reconsolidation of Traumatic Memories) Certified Clinician, and a Reiki Level 2 practitioner. Drawing on her clinical experience and a deep interest in the growing field of neurocounseling, she created the Ibrido Method in 2023 — a brief, brain-based intervention designed for clinicians, coaches, and peer support professionals to reduce the impact of stress, burnout, and trauma.

In 2019 Patty was invited by Brave Step to provide trauma-focused services to survivors of sexual violence in the Charlotte area, and was named their 2023 Provider Plus Award Honoree. She also partners with a veteran-serving nonprofit to provide neurocounseling for veterans, pairing psychoeducation with targeted treatment for the unseen injuries of service.

Outside the therapy room, Patty serves as a chaperone for Bridger, a Project2Heal Labrador puppy who will one day support the nonprofit’s mission by contributing future litters for service-dog training partners. In the meantime, Bridger sits in on occasional session with the hope of one day becoming a therapy dog.

Patty practices in both North and South Carolina, is an NASW Certified Clinical Supervisor, and offers coaching to clients nationwide.
