Nancy K Montagna, PhD 637 Ritchie Avenue, Silver Spring, MD 20910

"Nancy is a wonderfully thoughtful and skilled therapist. I have met with Nancy three times and each time was inspiring and profoundly helpful. I am deeply grateful to her and when the need arises, I will not hesitate to return to her. I have had numerous therapists through the years and have felt that Nancy's help was incredibly efficient and caring. I recommend her without reservation. If you have the privilege of working with Nancy, you can know that you are working with the best."

"Working with Dr. Nancy Montagna over the past year has been a revelation. Like many, I’ve intermittently sought counseling when confronted with particularly difficult life’s challenges. And while helpful, none of these experiences provided the psychological insights enabling the emergence of new and less destructive thought patterns and associated behavioral changes as did the combination of ART and traditional cognitive approaches that Nancy skillfully uses. Nancy is easy to work with and accommodating when it comes to scheduling changes. She has the highest ethical standards. I would not hesitate in recommending Dr. Montagna."

"Update: Another amazing round of ART sessions with Nancy helped me prepare for making some major life changes! After working with Nancy I feel confident and ready! It's amazing how fast she gets results!! I highly recommend her kind and caring services! Original review: Nancy is absolutely amazing!! In three ART therapy sessions she got rid of issues that I have been struggling with my whole life! I had heard about ART therapy and was really excited about trying it. I was absolutely blown away by how effective it was. Even after the first session, my sense of inner calmness was noticeable. The ripple effects of this calmness into all aspects of my life have been absolutely wonderful! Of course it's not just the ART therapy process, it's the kind, caring and skillful way Nancy implements it. From our first phone call to set up the appointment I could tell she really cared about helping me. That came through in all four of our Zoom calls. While I was unsure at first, I loved doing it remotely because after our sessions I could sit comfortably and review the work we just did so it could really sink in. I didn't have to rush out into traffic. For those considering ART therapy, the main thing I love about it is not having to go into great detail about the things that were bothering me and quickly getting impressive results! I had three ART sessions and one follow-up a week later where we mostly just talked about how things had been going since the sessions. I also highly recommend Nancy to lead you through it! She genuinely cares about her patients, she is skilled at implementing the ART method virtually, the calm way she led me through it was very reassuring, and best of all, she gets results!! Thank you, Nancy, for making such a difference in my life! I'm forever grateful!"

"Nancy is a gifted therapist who is kind and empathic. Accelerated Resolution Therapy was the most helpful kind of treatment I've had my entire life. I'm so grateful!"

"Nancy was very disorganized when it came to setting up a time to talk before our session. When I finally got a hold of her in the phone, I learned she was out of network. I explained that financially I would not be able to work with her. She proceeded to try to coerce me into a session stating “a weight would be lifted” and that “it’s what my passing relative would want for me”. Never in my wildest imagination would I think a psychotherapist would speak so manipulatively. Avoid her at all costs- especially for those who may be vulnerable or easily persuaded. Shame on you, Nancy."
