Hello, I am Jason! I believe my skills best match with people struggling adjusting, encountering stress or anxiety, needing encouragement, dealing with grief, or experiencing some depression. My approach is to build a trusting, honest relationship with you. I want to provide you compassion, acceptance, respect, and empathy while also being honest and real with you. I use an eclectic approach, primarily a mix of person-centered, cognitive-behavioral, and REBT. I also use a lot of encouragement and support. I provide links to articles and videos, personal feedback, and various worksheets to help give you insight, and build new skills. Although my focus is on our relationship and empathy, I am future-thinking. I think this helps with troubleshooting and goal-setting. Research has shown that having a solid therapeutic relationship often is supportive of a positive therapeutic outcome. If something isn’t working, let’s have a conversation about it. I can be flexible. I have many years of experience working with all kinds of people with different kinds of struggles. I'm licensed in Montana but now live on the East Coast. I work a day job and communicate with my clients primarily in the evenings. That is also when I am available for appointments, usually between 7 and 10 PM EST. I understand if that does not fit your schedule. I typically respond sooner than 24 hours. For this reason, it’s pretty challenging for me to respond to urgent messages. I am available for chat, phone, or video sessions. I typically do 1-hour appointments. I have availability mostly in the evenings. By partnering with me, I believe I can instill hope, restore confidence, and support you as you make the changes necessary to get you where you want to be. Just like having a gym membership doesn't make you fit, having a subscription here won't help you by itself. This will take work. It will take communication. Be an active participant in your mental health. You’re welcome to write messages or make appropriate appointments that fit your life’s routine. This is your service to use as you see fit. I look forward to working with you. Thank you for trusting me. You can do this, and I can help.

My passion is empowering individuals to achieve overall life fitness, not just mental health. I believe each of us has the power within ourselves to transform our lives by reconnecting to our bodies and our own inner wisdom to effectively manage stress, anxiety, depression, as well as, addictive patterns and behavior. By increasing self awareness, acceptance, and identifying self-defeating beliefs, individuals can overcome concerns related to emotional management, grief, self-esteem, negative self/body image, disordered eating, and relationship issues. To facilitate this transformation process, I utilize CBT, Solution-Focused, & Yoga Psychology practices (mindfulness, meditation, breathing techniques, etc.), depending on the client's preferences & needs. I specialize in guiding individuals to curate their own unique self-care practice that supports mental, emotional, and physical balance and wellness. I provide a safe container for my clients to transmute their pain into their blessing and to let go of suffering. My philosophy has always been "If I'm not working myself out of a job, I'm not doing my job."

Hi! My name is June. As you can see, I’m an older person. Some of you may prefer a younger therapist believing that they may identify with you and that could be what you need. I’d like you to consider using me as your therapist because I am older. I have had many of the feelings you are experiencing myself. I’ve had some tough times and poor self esteem and worked through life shifts. I am able to teach some things that are only learned with age. I’ve practiced my skills for over 20 years. I went back to school late in life because I overcame struggles and wanted to help others do the same. I’ve seen a lot so I’m less judgmental. It’s normal to feel uncomfortable when first starting therapy. I may challenge you but will do so safely. I love therapy, listening to others and sharing what I can. You will find I work hard for you. The techniques I use are varied to my clients comfort. My degree is LPC which means licensed clinical therapist. I now live in Montana in the summer and Arizona the rest of the year. I am licensed to work with people from both states and no other states.

I am a Clinical Mental Health Counselor licensed in the state of Montana. I also hold a PhD in Counselor Education and work as a professor of counseling.

I embrace a holistic model of healing that strives to empower clients through addressing core concerns and patterns that no longer serve them. People often tell me that my counseling style contains a balance of supportive and challenging interventions. I believe all people deserve to feel respected during the challenging process of seeking help, which is why I always work to provide empathic responding, curiosity vs. judgment, and humor when appropriate. I communicate my respect for my clients by being interested in them as human beings and by being aware of the time and resources they put into the counseling process. Every client is different and I work with each individual to understand how I can best support their unique needs and desires for the process and outcomes of counseling.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, client centered, and existential counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take a first step towards change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I have a wealth of life experience including working as an actor and earning a SAG card (now on honorary withdrawal), working as an advertising executive on Madison Avenue in New York City, and then finishing an undergrad degree in psychology on the same day that I started my graduate work. I graduated both programs with honors. I began working with adolescent clients as the therapist at Paris Gibson Alternative High School in Great Falls, Montana. I enjoy working with young people and find them responsive to my style of counseling which is non-judgmental and stresses treating all others with respect and dignity. After the alternative high school I worked for almost 5 years as the Clinical Director at Kairos Youth Services also in Great Falls. I have been in private practice for 5 years and most of my current client roster consists of adolescents and young adults.

Regardless of their licensure, they are trained to treat individuals and couples counseling, and sometimes children, in any type of therapy in the Stevensville region and in the state of Montana. Find a therapist under any of these distinctions and know that the sessions they offer can provide a safe place to heal.

A mental health counselor working through their own in-person therapy practice in Stevensville or online may assist clients in improving healthy relationships, communication skills, working through life transitions, couples counseling, managing a mood disorder, improving coping skills, self help tips, offer life coaching, family therapy, or change in negative thinking patterns.

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Stevensville therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Stevensville due to a higher cost of living. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Stevensville?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Stevensville therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Stevensville therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Stevensville therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A Stevensville therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

With a lot of people in MT, therapists may be booked out with clients.

If you're searching to find a a nearby psychotherapist close to 59870 or the surrounding zip codes, consider others available through the BetterHelp site. No matter if you are seeking help from therapists in your area or beyond, online therapy can be a great option.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Stevensville counselor?

Before seeing your Stevensville therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the therapy process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, let them know if you have any concerns about therapy or feel unsure about what to talk about. They may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy in Stevensville.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what therapy entails. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or condition to attend therapy. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback and advice from a therapist. A Stevensville licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find through therapy with a Stevensville counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Stevensville, Montana can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Stevensville has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online therapy to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change therapists easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
