Agnes Montalvo Timberger LCSW

I grew up in a dysfunctional poor family. I loved helping people since I was a teenager, tutoring younger children, working afterschool program/summer camp, assisting adults who just came to the USA and needed direction/language translation with social services in the Hispanic community. I always stood by those who were different/disadvantaged/had a disability/had no friends/who were made fun of in school since elementary school age.

I am very excited about telehealth mental health therapy which I believe will provide more mental health assistance to individuals/families/couples and will be more convenient for those who want it.

Success in therapy is when the client, family, couples can cope/come up with solutions to their issues in a healthy manner/can take care of themselves/develop a support system in life.
