Award winning author and a Licensed Professional Counselor, Registered Play Therapist, Level II-trained EMDR, and trauma specialist, Carron Montgomery has dedicated her life to helping others.

 

Carron is a strong community advocate who began her career working for two nonprofit organizations counseling survivors of sexual abuse and serving low-income families and victims of trauma. More than a decade ago, she started a private practice specializing in treating anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma,
grief, and loss.

 

She utilizes a client-centered approach that includes collaboration with each client’s team of professionals–primary caregivers, teachers, doctors, and school social workers. At the beginning of the pandemic, Carron witnessed an unaddressed critical need for education and support of mental health for children and teens. She trained local school counselors, and using her capabilities as a storyteller, began creating additional resources for the community and as a voice for her clients. The Invisible Riptide series was born out of the need to create a shared
understanding of mental health and highlight the necessity of human connection.

 

The Invisible Riptide series gives a voice to the common, yet hidden, struggles everyone faces. Her passion for community, connection, and support of human well-being is evident throughout her work and The Invisible Riptide series.

Carron often speaks to groups and organizations about her work and about the importance of offering a way for people of all ages to express their feelings and share their often-common experiences, providing them with education and tools to support their own mental health.
