How We Can Help You
Our Services
-
Individual Psychotherapy
In individual psychotherapy, we base our work on different modalities such as psychodynamic, emotion-focused, acceptance and commitment therapy, and dialectical behavioral theory to use a tailored approach to fit each client’s needs. These styles could include types of therapeutic interventions from exploring early formative experiences, discovering core needs, increasing what is known as psychological flexibility, and building emotional regulation skills to better cope with everyday stress.
-
Couples Psychotherapy
As Gottman trained Psychotherapists, we have learned helpful & effective tools to successfully provide treatment for couples. In our time together, you will be given a roadmap for helping to manage conflicts, deepen your friendship & intimacy and sharing your dreams with your partner. We will address problem areas and highlight strengths to propel you forward in your therapy journey.

Group Psychotherapy
Group therapy is a great way to feel more connected to people who understand what you are going through. Whether that is sharing your story or hearing others experiences, a group setting can foster real lasting change and relationships in your life. Eliza facilitates betrayal recovery groups.

Betrayal Recovery
With Eliza’s specialization as a Certified Partner Trauma Therapist, she has the training and expertise to help individuals, couples and groups heal from betrayal, heartbreak & infidelity within their relationship. Specifically, she is equipped to treat partners of sex addicts which includes processing the traumatic impact of disclosure or discovery, helping to develop healthy boundaries, working through the grief and loss, and rebuilding intimacy and trust. In Jonathan’s specialized training in Deceptive Sexuality Trauma, he can work and assist in individual and couple settings to take the most helpful steps toward recovery and reconciliation within self and the relationship. Investing in your own separate journey of recovery & healing could be the next right step for you.
-
Men's Mental Wellness
With Jonathan’s own internal work being done and continuing to be done, he believes in the pertinence of men being able to engage and process in their own internal world. Through this, they can gain insight into how past and current experiences/behaviors influence those that matter most to them, including their relationship with themselves. Men’s Mental Health is at the heart of Jonathan’s practice as depression, anxiety, anger/rage, and trauma are often not talked about within the male community. Through the utilization of individual/group psychotherapy as a tool, he believes the first step into a more freeing life, is breaking the veil of ‘not talking about it.’
-
Faith Integration
Faith can be a powerful tool in therapy. Throughout our experience providing therapy, we have witnessed how faith can be used to guide people through trials, reveal answers and provide strength in your recovery. We understand the important role faith and God play in your therapy process. More specifically much of our clinical experience and education has been faith inspired. During our time together you will receive support from a therapist who may have similar values and beliefs which can make therapy a bit easier.
-

Monteverdi Psychotherapy Services Mission Statement
We are committed to expanding our education on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, spirituality and people who are physically different than us as part of our continuing effort to remain knowledgeable and informed. Deepening our understanding of diversity allows us to provide ethical clinical care in supporting the clients we work with, our therapy groups, and the community around us. Our efforts will continue to show our commitment and dedication towards equality, diversity, and inclusion with compassion and respect for every human being who walks into our office.
How We Work
Our philosophy is that therapy is a team effort. Apart from our therapeutic guidance and direction, participation in your sessions and willingness to grow, typically lead to quicker progress and lasting results. Therapy is a combination of processing and skill building. At any point, you can ask about the process of therapy. We welcome the input and feedback of our clients so we can focus on what feels most helpful for them. Therapy is a commitment of your time, energy and finances. Our intention is that we are most effective with our time together so you start feeling better faster.
What can I expect from psychotherapy?
In a session, you will be given practical tools and deeper awareness so you can make the changes you have been wanting to see in your life. We focus on attachment (how we attach/trust others), trauma (emotional wounds that have shaped our lives), and help you to address the root of the problem. Authenticity and compassion are Monteverdi Psychotherapy Services’s core values, so being ourself and allowing space for others to do the same is very important to us. During our time together you will naturally translate skills and tools learned in the room outside of session so that you can have more satisfying connections and relationships with people who matter most to you. We believe in treating the WHOLE person so you can look forward to exploring not only your mental health but your relational, spiritual, & emotional health as well.
We provide a combination of humor and realness during our sessions, so you can relax and go at your own pace.
