“Nobody asked me to explain my faith or to defend it. I was simply listened to.”

Does this sound familiar?
You don't have to carry this alone. These are some of the things that bring people to our door.
A mind that won't quiet
A constant hum of worry that won't settle, however much you reason with it.
Faith that feels far away
Prayer or church used to steady you. Now it feels distant, or complicated, or both.
Grief that stays
Losses, old and new, that still carry weight you haven't been able to set down.
Old patterns
The same relationship dynamics, playing out again and again.

Services
How Reyna works
Each approach is chosen with you, and explained before it begins.
- Core
Depth-oriented therapy
Looking at the patterns beneath how you feel and relate, through conversation, memory and dreams if you bring them.
- Optional
Faith in therapy
Prayer, scripture and your church's language can be part of sessions if you want them. If you don't, nothing changes.
- Body
Body-aware work
Noticing breath, tension and pace in the room. Gentle, slow and always by invitation.
- Loss
Grief and loss
Room for what has been lost, without rushing or fixing, and without a timetable.

Rooted in reverence, open to every belief
I'm Reyna Montoya, a licensed marriage and family therapist in San Francisco. I work with adults, one at a time, on the questions that don't fit in a short appointment: loss, belonging, faith, and the patterns that repeat.
Faith is optional here. If prayer or scripture is part of how you cope, it is welcome in the room. If it isn't, or you hold another belief or none, that is just as welcome. I don't bring my own beliefs into your therapy.
Reverence
Respect for what you hold sacred, or don't.
Depth
Time for the question beneath the question.
Presence
My full attention for the whole session.
Pace
You set the speed, and can change it.
Testimonials
In their words
What the room felt like.
“I had braced for a lecture or a sermon. I got neither, just an hour of someone paying attention.”
Kieran O.“The pace was mine. When I wanted to sit quietly for a few minutes, that was fine.”
Aileen P.“Praying before we began was my choice, and so was skipping it the next week.”
Latasha G.“I'm not Christian, and I felt welcome from the first minute.”
Geeta R.“The room is quiet and unhurried. I never felt rushed out the door.”
