Unlocking and Empowering; Through Healing and Growth
Counseling with tools to take your life to the next level.
It’s time to release what you’ve been carrying.
“ Quit complaining someone else has it worse.”
“Don’t talk to anyone about what goes on in this house.”
“You aren’t praying enough.”
“Only weak people go to counseling.”
Have you been told that showing emotion is weak?
Do you come from a culture where you have heard these things before?
You are not alone.
At Key2Success Counseling, you can rest assured that you are in good hands. You will find a safe and comforting place to express yourself, make sense of the hard stuff, and heal your family-all without violating the values most important to you.
My goal is to empower you to trust the process. You can release your feelings in a safe, completely non-judgmental setting no matter where your journey has led you.
Hi,
I’m Montoyia Key the owner and therapist of Key2Success Counseling.
I am a mother and a full-time therapist. I have had my own mental health journey so I can intimately understand what many people are going through. I have had to figure out how to juggle career, family, and my own healing.
My clients say I’m down-to-earth (don’t let the picture fool ya) and easy to talk to. I often have clients who have been in therapy before, make significant breakthroughs they have never experienced in treatment before.
My goal is to collaborate with you to learn your values and empower you to release what you have been carrying and heal.
I have helped hundreds of families unlock what was holding them back.
I help children (5+), teenagers, and adults dealing with a variety of issues and life experiences. I have diverse experience that makes me ready to tackle anything you have gone through. I have worked in schools, inpatient settings, and correctional settings. I have gained extensive hands-on training helping survivors of emotional, physical, and sexual abuse work through their trauma and begin the process of healing.
Methods I Use
I found my passion in the mental health field and use my life experience and training to help my clients finally reach their goals. My approach is eclectic, meaning I incorporate different styles such as Eye Movement Reprocessing Desensitization (EMDR), Person-Centered Therapy, Play and sandtray techniques, and Family Systems Model.
A Unique Approach
I am passionate about so many things. What I am really good at is helping adolescents, women, and adults.
