About Monte Foreman-Powell
Hello, my name is Monte Foreman-Powell, Owner and Founder of Bettering Me Counseling Services, LLC (BMCS). I am a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner, Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) with specialized training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I have extensive experience supporting individuals through trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions
BMCS was born from both personal and professional experiences that taught me the value of starting where you are, not where you think you should be. Our name and slogan, “Bettering Me Starts Today” (BMST), reflect our core belief: that healing, growth, and transformation don’t have to wait. You don’t need to be perfect or have it all figured out—just willing to take that first step, today.
As a U.S. Army veteran, my journey has been shaped by service, resilience, and the desire to help others thrive. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, trauma-informed, and tailored to meet each client where they are. I work with adults, couples, and families, with a special interest in supporting LGBTQ+ individuals, military veterans, and BIPOC communities.
Together, we will focus on building emotional strength, improving self-awareness, and developing the tools needed to move forward with confidence and purpose.
