I work with individuals, groups, and organizations to increase joy, passion, purpose, and life satisfaction. I am an expert practitioner of many modalities for effecting such change. Most recently I and my clients are the beneficiaries of the latest research being done in the areas of Emotional Intelligence and Positive Psychology, the study of how people become happy, strong, resilient, and good, despite the unavoidable pain that happens in every life. I like to put the tools of my profession into the hands of my clients to aid them in the creation of the life they want. Please see nancymontagna.com and pathwaystohappiness.com for more information.Specialties: I can help with depression, anxiety, marital stress, eating disorders, and other difficulties. I also enjoy supporting well-functioning people to maximize their joy and life-satisfaction. Services range from individual psychotherapy to in-depth courses teaching new positive habits, taken from research. The latter has been called "practical spirituality", and consists of practices familiar to various religions with demonstrated effectiveness and applicable to people of all faiths.
