Montrella Cowan, MSW, LICSW
Therapist & Life Coach
Crushing barriers to mental health and wellness through motivational speaking and therapy, Montrella Cowan is an entrepreneur and founder of Affinity Health Affairs, five-time international best-selling author, and all-around survivor who inspires everyday people and professionals to step into their greatness.
A firm believer of the mantra #TruthOverTrauma, Montrella is no stranger to trauma. Hailing from the inner-city projects in Brooklyn, New York, Montrella was raised by a mother who was addicted to crack-cocaine, sexually abused as a teenager and was surrounded by a plethora of generational woes including incarceration, welfare dependency and extreme poverty.
The taxing nature of her past, including being raped at 14, giving birth at 15 and then losing that same daughter at the age of 25 to Lupus, has given Montrella an exceptional ear for listening, understanding and working with clients.
Montrella is a renowned thought leader whose relationship expertise has been featured in Inspired Living TV, Essence Magazine, Radio One, NPR, NBC, ABC, and dozens of other local, regional, and national media outlets. Montrella earned a Bachelor’s degree from Catholic University and a Master’s degree of Social Work from Howard University.
