Coopers Mills, Whitefield – This October, Sheepscot Valley Health Center staff are happy to welcome Kristina Mont, LCPC, to their professional healthcare team.
Mont earned her Master’s degree in Professional Counseling from Monmouth University in New Jersey. She previously earned her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Northern Arizona University. Mont’s wealth of professional counseling experience includes substance use counseling, group therapy, and family therapy. She will apply this diverse skillset to her work at Sheepscot.
Mont shares, “I love the saying, ‘We don’t grow when things are easy – we grow when challenged’. Every one of us can use help navigating life’s challenges. I’m a firm believer in maintaining our emotional and physical wellness to avoid ‘dis-ease’, so I’m excited to be joining the HealthReach team. HealthReach uses a holistic approach to treatment and is dedicated to improving the lives of community members. It is very fulfilling to meet someone where they are and watch them gain confidence and courage to become the person they want to be. When a person is feeling stuck or is ready to make changes, I offer my support.
Mont joins the existing Sheepscot clinical team in Coopers Mills – Doctors, Ann Schwink, Daniel Keane, and Kathryn Wistar; Physician Assistants, Brooke Perez, Anna Simmler, Craig Urwin, and Zachary Wissman; and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, Melanie Morin.
