Mary Geiger
I am currently a licensed Counselor in Montana, Texas, and Arizona specializing in mental health issues along with issues dealing with substance abuse and addictions. I have a private practice where I offer services to adults, adolescents, children, and families. I worked for 10 years as a clinical director in a Department of Corrections setting providing substance abuse and mental health treatment for individuals with Felony DUI's. My expertise is in working with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, and also in helping children deal with trauma. While I work in the corrections setting during the day, I have a private practice, where I work with families, couples, individuals including adults, teens and children. Living in rural Montana, I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients with various mental health concerns. My counseling style is empathetic in nature. I begin by getting to know my client and what will work best for them. The most frequent orientations that I utilize include cognitive-behavioral therapy, person centered, family systems, and mindfulness. I use an eclectic array of techniques that will be determined with the client and then utilized to develop a treatment plan unique to the client's concerns. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and provide EMDR to clients that it is appropriate with through evaluation. Counseling is a process that can be very beneficial to help address various aspects of a person's life. I look forward to building a therapeutic relationship where we can work together to meet your needs. A little bit about me outside of Betterhelp. I enjoy being a grandmother to 5 grandchildren (and 1 on the way) and spending as much time with them as I can. I also am an avid traveler and have goals to visit as many countries as I can in the future. I enjoy planning my travels as much as I do the traveling part, so I am always planning for some future trip. If I can be outside, hiking and enjoying nature, I am, one of the many blessings of living in Montana.

Dr. Manuel Evangelista
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW) in Utah and my practice is grounded in the synthesis of social, biological, and psychological theories. I provide individual, group, and family therapy integrating psychodynamic and humanistic approaches with the transformative healing methods and spirituality to adults age 19 to 69 years old. My goal in therapy is to move my patients beyond symptom reduction to the achievement of balance in the physical, emotional and, spiritual dimensions. My style of helping is reflective of eastern healing traditions and western neuroscience. While most approaches to mental health treatments are focused on changing distressing events and experiences, my emphasis is on accepting, finding meaning, and tolerating distress. A trauma survivor myself, I came to view pain and distress as part of the human experience that cannot be entirely avoided or removed. The inability to accept this immutable fact itself leads to increased pain and suffering. A Zen practitioner and mindfulness teacher I have both graduate and postgraduate education in social work and counseling. I am also trained in psychotropic medication and can work with your prescriber. Through the many years of clinical work and advocacy, I've learned to embody a warrior-like woundedness and the courage to sit down and listen. Come in.

Marianne Smith
My name is Marianne and I am a licensed professional therapist in Arizona with over 30 years of experience. In my many years of working as a therapist, the thing that has impressed me the most is the resiliency of the human spirit. I have worked with clients who have suffered through severe trauma, or who have had to make difficult life-changing decisions and yet, still find the strength to carry on. I am inspired by the strength and hope that I have witnessed in so many of my clients and carry that positive energy into my current therapy sessions. I strive to work with my clients to find their inner strength and resiliency to reach their full potential and achieve their desired goals. Even at a young age I was fascinated by human behavior and how biology and experiences shape the beliefs, personality and behaviors of individuals. While still in middle school I began reading books by Sigmund Freud, Carl Jung and other early founders of psychology, which only fueled my interest. But life events prevented me from pursuing my dream of becoming a therapist after high school. Several years later I was lucky enough to meet a clinical psychologist, who would become a dear friend and mentor. With his encouragement and support, I entered college, obtained my bachelor’s and master’s Degrees and ultimately became a licensed therapist. My personality influences my approach to therapy in many ways. I am friendly and easy going and I like to bring that into the therapeutic process to create a relaxed and accepting atmosphere. My communication style is straight forward and direct, but I respect the opinions, thoughts and feelings of others. I value diversity and believe that every person has the right to be who they are without judgement and believe we should embrace and celebrate our differences. Most of all I believe in authenticity and being honest and genuine. In therapy I strive to create a comfortable and safe environment in which clients can address their concerns and work on personal goals while feeling validated and valued. Please message me and provide several dates and times that are convenient for you so we can arrange our first meeting. My office hours are Monday through Friday, and I offer some flexibility in scheduling.
