Charlotte, NC

Montgomery Counseling Group

Every person’s map of the world is as unique as their thumbprint. There are no two people alike. No two people understand the same sentence the same way… So in dealing with people, you try not to fit them to your concept of what they should be.”
— Milton H. Erickson, MD

This philosophy forms the foundation of our approach at Montgomery Counseling Group, a psychotherapy practice in Charlotte, North Carolina. We are a team of experienced clinicians united by our commitment to honoring each client’s unique journey.

John Burns, MSW, LCSW, founded our practice after first studying Milton Erickson’s work in graduate school. He has brought together therapists in Charlotte, NC who share this deep respect for the individual nature of each person’s experience and healing process.
