Therapists in Bozeman, MT

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Montana with over 10 years of experience working as a counselor and mental health administrator. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, serious mental illness, stress management, grief and loss, care-giving stress, dealing with a major medical diagnosis and life transitions. I have given many presentations nationally on coping with cancer as a young adult, grief and loss and caregiver burnout. My counseling approach is dynamic and interactive. I approach areas of concerns with a strengths based approach in order to help clients identify their goals and find ways within themselves to deal with difficult emotions. I feel that we all have the ability within us to become the best version of ourselves, and that sometimes we need an outside perspective to help us achieve those goals. I use primarily cognitive behavior therapy with an emphasis on developing a positive counselor - client relationship. I also will utilize mindfulness skills and other resources individualized to build up coping skills and achieve your goals. In my free time I like to camp and hike with my family in Montana and all over the Pacific Northwest. I look forward to speaking with you and determining how I can help you achieve your goals and cope with difficult emotions.

I am a special education teacher, school counselor and licensed therapist with 6 years of counseling experience. I love education and the quest for knowledge. I am always looking for new opportunities to learn something new. I have masters degrees in Special Education from the University of Virginia, and School Counseling/Professional Counseling from Montana State University Northern. I have experience working with Bipolar Disorder, HPPD, trauma, depression, grief and anxiety. I attended the Transpersonal Psychology 50th anniversary conference in 2019. I have a person centered belief. I also have an extensive background in Applied Behavior Analysis and Behavioral Therapy. In my therapy practice, I utilize talk therapy and workbook activities. I have an array of up to date workbooks with current researched based theory. I regularly attend conferences and online trainings to further my development as a counselor. I enjoy being in the outdoors and in nature whenever possible. I am happiest when I am on my UTV with my 2 dogs and husband on top of a mountain somewhere in the middle of the wilderness. I am an avid wild crafter and plant identifier. Seeking therapy can be a daunting challenge. I look forward to helping you navigate whatever obstacles in life come your way.

I am a trauma therapist in Montana with ten years of pastoral experience prior to attending social work school. My background, while grounded in pastoral ministry, also comes from the liberal side, with a basis of acceptance and gentleness for all, regardless of gender, sexuality, race or creed. I have worked with all age groups in both careers, moving seamlessly from youth work to sitting gently with people facing chronic illness and end of life issues. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and I'm working on training in Internal Family Systems. I've spent years working with co-occurring disorders and finding that most of my clientele were struggling with trauma issues. PTSD is one of the most common disorders to be complicated by substance use disorders. I've worked as well with Multi-Systemic Therapy, and have a passion for finding ways to allow my clients to regain control where chaos has taken over. For the last two years I've concentrated on teenagers in a group home setting - more trauma and more co-occurring disorders and more work to get families to engage as well. LCSW: 11 years. Ordained United Church of Christ: 28 years. Offering CBT, EMDR, client focused work in mood disorders, trauma and process addictions, also work with LGBT issues.

Sometimes our experiences in life have a way of causing us to believe that we are less than who we are - less good, less lovable, and less safe. Trauma and grief - especially disenfranchised grief - can cause us to disconnect from our lives, the people we love, and our overall sense of belonging, causing us to feel unsettled, anxious, and lost. My strength-based, trauma-informed approach draws primarily from cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness practices, narrative therapy, and internal family systems to support self-exploration, understanding, and personal growth. My role in counseling involves acknowledging clients' own wisdom through supportive, empathetic connection, and creating a safe space for every person to explore their identity, define their goals and values, and change their lives. I am honored to work with teens, adults, and elders of every background, orientation, religion, and belief system. I will create and hold a confidential, non-judgmental space for us to explore your true self and engage in personal progress. You can expect authenticity, compassion, genuine interest, and acceptance from me, and together we will look at and assign language to your life experiences while discovering and building upon your innate strengths and abilities. Whether you're looking to change negative thinking habits, self-esteem, behavioral patterns, or relationships, I am here to provide affirmative care to help you leverage your strengths into your greatest growth.
