05-12-25 Valerie Montgomery: Undoing Generational Silence
On this new season of the Make Mental Health Matter Show with host Kelli Melissa Reinhardt, is live in-studio with special guest Valerie Montgomery.
Little bit about Valerie’s story from her:
My father would not let us use the word “depressed” while I was growing up. Turns out, his mother, my grandmother, completed suicide shortly after I had my third baby. It had seemed so normal for her to be “miserable,” which my parents would couch as dramatic. I understand the family culture around mental illness from the inside, as a child and then a young adult.
Short bio: Valerie Montgomery is a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado. As the middle child of two public school teachers, she became a military spouse which brought her to Colorado. Shortly after her youngest was 15 she realized her lifelong dream of going to Counseling school. She now operates her women-owned counseling business marketing to women, but working with adults who experienced less-than-nurturing parenting during their childhoods.
