With all that's going on in the world today, it is easy to lose track of our balance and our priorities. Also, it often happens that many of us spend a lot of our energy tending to others, making sure those we love are okay- but we neglect to check in with ourselves. This can leave us feeling empty, lost, hopeless, and overwhelmed. Facing the challenges of day-to-day life doesn't have to feel so hard. When we take the time to pay attention to our own needs, when we fill up our own cup, we can not only improve our lives, but we can begin to see the positive impact we have on others as well.

Currently accepting new clients for in-person or telehealth appointments. I work with adults experiencing difficulties due to effects from trauma, depression, anxiety, relationship conflicts, and changing life circumstances. My approach is to honor each individual where they are while helping them explore the root of difficult emotions and unwanted behavior or relationship patterns.

When the pain of staying the same outweighs the pain of changing people often seek professional help. Addiction and mental health issues can result in feeling overwhelmed, frightened, and hopeless. My job is to help you navigate the negative cycle of addiction and/or mental health issues toward a positive outlook and overall wellness. We will work together to develop a plan that uses your strengths and resources to overcome your current barriers.

My name is Sarah Albertson, MS, LCPC, and I am a Marriage and Family Counselor here in beautiful Bozeman, MT. As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and productive environment for my clients to explore traumas, attachment, fears, anxieties and any other concerns and goals they may bring to my office. I strongly believe in empowering clients to see and build on their natural strengths and resiliency, and I would be honored to work alongside you in your journey, wherever life may have taken you to this point.

I am a therapist who works with children, adolescents, and adults providing individual, family, and couples therapy. I specialize in the areas of grief, trauma, life transitions, mood disorders, anxiety, women's issues, childhood issues, and parenting. I am licensed in Montana as an LCPC, licensed in Oregon as an LPC, nationally certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), EMDRIA-trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and credentialed as a National Certified Counselor and a Distance Credentialed Counselor by the National Board for Certified Counselors.

There are many reasons you might have landed here. You may have a history of depression or anxiety, endured a significant loss or miscarriage or you’re struggling to get pregnant. You might struggle with an eating disorder, wonder about your identity or you can’t stop feeling stuck in your life and you’re desperate to make change. It’s all welcome here. You’re welcome here. Together we will explore how you interpret the world, the ways you move from one emotional state to another, and what really lies underneath stuck patterns.

In my practice, we hold the premise that every person has an innate capacity for healing and unique qualities that have helped them navigate or even survive life. These qualities are called "creative adjustments." However, there can come a time when these creative adjustments become less effective or ineffective. It is here, that we aim to help one achieve healing and relief from pain and discomfort. Our primary work is with children aged 0-18 years and their parents. Individual adults and parents to be are welcome!

Anxiety leaves us feeling like we have a boulder on our shoulders. Maybe you are feeling overwhelmed and constantly second guessing yourself. Maybe you feel frustrated that you don't know what to do next or where to turn. You want to cut through the overwhelm you're experiencing day in and day out. It just keeps going and your thoughts just keep spinning. You are exhausted! Your relationships are suffering. Maybe your over commit because you can't say no but feel like a disappointment. Your self esteem is tanking because all your energy goes to everyone else, and you don't even know what you want anymore.

When life doesn’t go as it should or could, sometimes we feel a deep sense of defeat. But sometimes it creates opportunities to design something new. My goal is to help you reclaim parts of yourself that you’ve cut off or lost along the way, in order to create a sense of wholeness and aliveness. My role as the counselor is not to fix, but rather to craft a nurturing environment in which to grow.

I specialize in working with a variety of different age groups and backgrounds. In the therapist role, I believe in meeting the client where they are at, and transparency. When working with younger clients I believe that it is important to also work with the family. I have experience working with families in order to work towards understanding and strengthen the overall family unit. The key to making progress is building and maintaining a trusting and empathetic relationship with the client. For the past 11 years I have primarily worked in the school system as a licensed school counselor.

What would it be like to be able to say no and not have it come with a side of guilt? A life where you only say yes to the tasks, responsibilities, and people that matter most to you? I’ve been there and I can help. I work to help people who struggle to set healthy boundaries with people in their lives, or often need to feel angry or frustrated before they are able to say “no”. This process of learning often feels difficult and one of my passions is helping people identify what is keeping them stuck in the old patterns, discover what they value and who they want to be, then commit to achieving a life that feels worth living.
