Are you diving into the deep end of life, ready to swim your hardest and experience the thrill of the water? Or are you standing by the shallow end, afraid to even dip your feet in the water? If you struggle with mental wellness issues, just getting into the waters of life, whether they're deep or shallow, can be incredibly difficult to do.
But millions of Americans every day seek the help of mental health professionals, and you
should seek help too. Reach out to a Newton-area therapist or doctor to get the support you
need, and the support you deserve.

Merle Montalvo
I am a social worker licensed at LCSW level in Mississippi. Sometimes we need someone to help us make needed changes or keep track of how we’re doing with the many ways we and our lives can change. Becoming a social worker was a midlife transition for me. “It’s never too late.” was a saying that became a mantra as I learned from challenges related to making a new life 30+ years ago. But now, with a stronger cognitive perspective, I’d change that to, “It’s not too late right now”. My cultural background is mixed. To me, each person is unique, but our common humanity makes us alike. My experience is broad including : outpatient, inpatient, IOP, home health and hospice. I take an eclectic approach towards working with others, so that I can fit what I offer to your individual needs. Modalities and techniques I can bring to our work include: humanistic, insight-oriented, cognitive behavioral, wholistic, and solution focused .
