  Montu Jani, MHA, LMHC, LPC

  Program Director, OCD Anxiety Centers Bellevue

  Montu Jani, LMHC, LPC is a licensed mental health counselor in Washington and a licensed professional counselor in Alaska. He currently serves as Program Director at OCD Anxiety Centers in Bellevue, Washington, where he provides clinical leadership, supports therapist development, and helps ensure high-quality, evidence-based care for individuals and families impacted by OCD and anxiety disorders. Prior to moving to Washington, Montu served as the Chief Clinical Officer at North Star Hospital in Alaska, overseeing acute, residential, and outpatient programs and playing a key role in expanding access to mental health services in rural and underserved communities.

  Montu is deeply passionate about mental health education, stigma reduction, and increasing access to effective, compassionate care. His commitment to this work is personal, shaped by witnessing his parents—immigrants from India—struggle to access mental health services due to cultural stigma and systemic barriers. This experience fueled his goal of reducing obstacles to care and advocating for more inclusive mental health systems. Montu holds two master’s degrees, one in Clinical Counseling from Longwood University and another in Health Administration from George Washington University. Outside of work, he enjoys traveling, cooking, and spending time with friends.
