Taylor Montey is a Fire Lieutenant, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), and the founder of Mindset Reps, a program designed to bridge the gap between mental and physical resilience. Her innovative approach began while coaching teens, where she noticed they were more open to meaningful conversations after sharing a workout. Recognizing firsthand how fitness had transformed her own life—along with extensive research on the mental and physical benefits of exercise—Taylor developed a program that treats the whole person, integrating movement with mindset to foster lasting change.

Taylor holds a Master’s degree in Counseling from Colorado Christian University, where she graduated with honors. With deep experience in both mental health and fitness, she is trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I), Advanced Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), with expertise in trauma, stress, depression, anxiety, performance, addiction therapy, and domestic violence counseling. She also holds certificates in CrossFit Level 2, CrossFit Kids, and ACE, blending evidence-based mental health strategies with strength and conditioning principles.

Taylor has extensive experience running and managing peer support programs for first responders and has led resiliency trainings and programs to help frontline professionals navigate the demands of their work. Today, Mindset Reps offers a range of programs, from youth mentorship to first responder resiliency coaching, all rooted in the belief that movement, mindset, and meaningful connection are the foundation for personal growth, leadership, and long-term success.
