Hello, I'm glad you are here
I’m Michele Montenegro, LCSW-C, founder of arKardia Counseling & Consulting. For more than twenty-five years, I’ve walked alongside people who appear capable and composed on the outside yet carry deep stories within — stories of resilience, loss, hope, and the desire for wholeness.
My work integrates trauma-informed and evidence-based approaches with a faith-guided perspective. This combination will help you heal deeply, find clarity, and live with lasting freedom.
Depending on your goals, I draw from a range of evidence-based and integrative approaches, including:
- EMDR Therapy
- Brainspotting
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
- Faith-Integrative Therapy
- Emotionally Focused Therapy
- Internal Family Systems
Clients often describe me as warm, real, and grounded. I appreciated being the person someone trusts to share their story. I approach their pain and their hope for change with deep respect and responsibility.
Your story matters. Who you are matters. It’s my honor to walk with you as you move toward a life that feels steady, connected, and whole.
