Therapists in Montana

Hi, I'm ShirIey, I am a 61 year old Native American Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have over 20 years experience in the mental health field. I have worked in community mental health and I have worked in Tribal Behavioral Health. In both of these agencies I have worked as a crisis on-call therapist on rotation as well as seeing clients in office. Currently, I operate from a private practice which I established in 2013. Although I have spent a great deal of time living and working on the reservation, I have lived in many other cultures and I truly appreciate diversity. I have always been a very curious person so Social Work has been a great outlet for me to explore populations, cultures, and behaviors. I obtained a Bachelor Degree in 1998 in Human Services Rehabilitation from Salish Kootenai College on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Pablo, MT. I have a Masters in Social Work from Walla Walla University in Missoula, MT in 2004. Once I received my MSW, I practiced for three thousand supervised clinical hours before I was able to sit for my clinical license exam. I have worked with diverse cultures and populations. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) which has proven beneficial in the treatment of PTSD (Post- traumatic Stress) and other adverse/disturbing experiences. What disturbs or traumatizes us is unique to the individual. I prefer to spend time with each new client building a rapport and an alliance of trust and safety. I like to develop a plan of treatment that is tailored to the unique individual and with full collaboration. I am a firm believer in the healing process of telling one's own story and areas an individual would like to examine since they are best at knowing the parts of self they believe need to be examined to help them to progress and grow in their desired direction. I look forward to exploring with you!

I have been a therapist for 20 years. I have done extensive work with families in conflict and with victims of domestic violence. In addition, I am a military veteran and very well versed in all areas of military life, having been a child in a military family, being a military wife, and being in the military myself. I am also the mother of two veterans. I have had a general private practice of my own and I work in a rural area with both adults and children. I have a very calming and non-judgmental approach with my clients, as I just love people and I want to help.

I believe being in therapy is about having a place of safety and support so that you can express your thoughts and feelings. By using a present focused approach I create a caring environment that will help you make changes in your life. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missoula specializing in psychotherapy with individuals and couples. I have over 20 years experience working with people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, loss/grief, trauma/PTSD, ADHD, and relationship issues. I have a Bachelors degree in Cultural Anthropology.

I am a Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC)licensed in Washington, Montana and Maine and an Addictions Counselor (LAC) licensed in Montana with over 15 years of experience working as a therapist and addictions counselor in the mental health field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues and addictions. I know that the matching process with Better Help can take forever and finding the therapist that is the right fit for you is extremely important for you to get the most out of your investment. With that in mind, I want to share a bit about me and my schedule. If I am not the right fit for you, that is okay, this is Your counseling. My hours are Tuesday through Thursday 9am to 4pm. Due to responsibilities outside of BetterHelp, I am not available for live sessions outside of these hours, though I do check and respond to messages as I am able during off hours. If you asked people who have worked with me to describe me, they might say something along the lines of genuine, kind but straight forward, a little bit awkward and weird at times, loves adventure and has an attitude of let's try and find out, and is quick to laugh. I LOVE talking about possibilities, especially in living authentically, and take great delight in helping people discover or hone in on their own magic/ strengths. The clients who work best with me are those who are action oriented with a low threshold for anything that feels like fluff and bs. Willing to take an honest look at themselves and try on new perspectives. I have a sweet spot for individuals who can sometimes trip themselves up striving to live authentically while connecting with others, and individuals that are eager to find solutions and have an attitude of “I could do anything if I just knew what it was!” They are willing to try new approaches and look through new lenses. In my personal life, I am a Mom, a Wife, a Daughter, a Sister, an Aunt, Grandma and a Friend. I am working on building a small hobby farm and my dream is to have my own little homestead to live as sustainably as possible. I look forward to working with you!

While my general treatment theoretical approach is based I CBT I draw upon numerous other areas including Mindfulness, DBT, IMR and trait and personality. I am very client focused believing I am there them rather than them for me. I believe and have seen that while challenging, everyone has the capacity and ability to be successful in making the changes they seek. I am open to helping anyone who is courageous enough to seek the help they need to make positive, lasting and effective change in their lives.
