John Moore
As a Licensed Professional counselor and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, I have over 35 years experience. I have worked with all age groups across many dimensions, including outpatient, inpatient, residential, and emergency hospital settings. Areas I have worked with include, but are not limited to are depression, anxiety, relationship issues, communication issues, addictions, dependency and anger management. I generally take a cognitive behavioral approach, but do not limit my approach, but tailor my treatment to the individual client needs. I am generally laid back and very accepting in nature, but I also will be direct when I feel it is needed. I also like to instill some humor in therapy, but only when appropriate and not at the clients expense. It takes courage to reach out to someone for help, and I will support you in your endeavor. I believe therapy is about change, and it will take motivation and action on the client's part to make that change. But I will be there to support you in the process.

When individuals feel heard, validated, and supported, they choose to do the work and engage in therapy.

Ashley Kingston
Welcome! My passion lies in helping people find their authentic selves and to improve their overall well-being. I work with individuals suffering from depression/mood disorders, anxiety, personality disorders, trauma/abuse (physical, verbal, sexual, and neglect) PTSD, addiction and substance use, self-harming, suicidal ideations, stress, eating disorders, relationship-issues, and grief. I am a national board-certified counselor and a licensed clinical professional counselor in Montana. My education includes a Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in addiction from Walden University. My primary therapy orientation is person-centered, as a therapist should not tell you what to do or try to direct your life. Think of the proverb: "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish, and you feed him for life." I will help you learn to solve your own problems, rather than solving them for you. I incorporate some holistic psychotherapy, which fosters wellness by integrating complementary and alternative treatment methods such as, yoga, breathwork, essential oils, and meditation alongside traditional psychotherapy approaches. It has roots in traditional and ancient medicine, as well as non-traditional therapeutic approaches, including energy and spiritual healing. I also use theory and techniques from CBT/TFCBT, DBT, Existential Therapy, Crisis Intervention, Mindfulness, Psychoeducation, and Solution-Focused Therapy among other modalities. Additionally, I am certified in providing Telehealth Therapy (THTC). I look forward to helping you in your journey toward wellness! My practice hours are 9am-2pm (MST) Monday-Thursday. I generally can respond at least once per morning and once per evening, sometimes more! You can also book a live session with me ahead of time. Please remember that BetterHelp is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of support. If you are thinking about suicide or if you are considering harming yourself or others or if you feel that any other person may be in any danger or if you have any medical emergency, you should immediately call the emergency service number (911 in the US and 999 in the UK) and notify the relevant authorities. Seek immediate in-person assistance. This platform is not designed for use in crisis situations and the counselors cannot provide the assistance required in any of the aforementioned cases. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to talk to someone right away, or call, text, or chat 988, to be connected to trained counselors that are part of the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network. UK-Non-emergency: 111, Option 2 24/7 Helpline: 116 Shout: Text "DESERVE" TO 85258 If you are in a situation involving domestic violence or relationship abuse: National Domestic Violence Hotline: 800-799-SAFE (800-799-7233). Call the hotline for crisis intervention and referrals to resources, such as women's shelters. You can also see the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence website at https://ncadv.org/resources to find programs that offer shelter and legal support. Relationship abuse is about one partner having power & control over the other. This can look like physical violence, controlling who someone can talk to, or even what they wear. Understanding the dynamic of power & control can help you ID abuse.
