Therapists in Montana

I am passionate about helping others make the changes they want to see in their lives. My practice is person-centered and strengths-based, offering a safe, open space, free of judgement, to explore your world-your thoughts, feelings, choices, and relationships. I truly believe that all people have the ability to grow and heal, even in the darkest of our times. Working together, we can discover your strengths, build skills, and overcome obstacles for you to find fulfillment and achieve your goals. "It is never too late to be what you might have been!" --George Eliot

Whatever brings you here today, you deserve to be heard, you know you best! I will meet you where you are at & together we will understand what it is you want/need, navigate transitions or help you through difficult times. I’m honored to work with you & help you through your journey. I work with individuals, parents and moms. It is not easy to let in a new person who you can trust will have your best interest. I will offer a safe empathetic place with no judgment & unconditional support. Where you can talk about your struggles and difficulties.

Do you need support to improve your mental and emotional state of being? I am honest, loving, direct and non-judgmental; with a calling to help others by bringing awareness to what is causing mental suffering to facilitate healing. Services offered include a blend of various therapeutic modalities. One size does not fit all and I work uniquely with each client based on their specific need, emotional and psychological ailment, and temperament. Play therapy techniques are utilized when working with children. I am professionally trained in Somatic therapy used in treating trauma/PTSD and mindfulness techniques for stress reduction.

I have learned that the heart and success of therapy is a safe and trusting relationship /environment where people can grow. I work to provide this safety in a supportive and non judgmental environment which empowers and encourages this. My role is to be empathic and support/guide this growth as well as to give clients a greater understanding of themselves. I see us all as unique and gifted and value the varying depths and needs of people.

I practice a relational form of counseling, which means I weigh heavily on how and why our relationships develop while taking into consideration the mental, physical and emotional associations we draw or conclude from these relationships. The relationship between therapist and client, the relationships you have had over the course of your life, issues and/or concepts you have faced or struggled with, and, most importantly, the relationship you have with yourself are all focal points for counseling. Trust and building rapport with your therapist is paramount and I work to cultivate an environment that promotes respect and self-exploration.

I am here to help you or your loved ones with the large scope of challenges life presents. I believe healing begins with trusting relationships, empathy, and a space free from judgement. I have worked in the social work field for over 15 years in a number of different roles, allowing me to use my diverse knowledge and experience to help my clients.

Life is challenging. Anyone may be overwhelmed by difficulties and begin to lose direction and hope. I am so glad that you have decided to take the first step and to reach out for help. I am an empathetic, person-centered therapist with a passion for life. I believe that each individual carries within the capacity to heal and to grow. I would like to help you to discover and nurture these seeds, and I will walk with you on your journey toward health, happiness, and purpose for your life. I offer 16 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide variety of presenting issues.

I work with children, adolescents and adults with a curiosity about how we can live more connected and meaningful lives. Often the ways we have learned to adapt to our world (or world view) is no longer effective or relevant. I seek to help create deeper awareness and insight into underlying motives, defenses, and desires. Together we explore patterns that contribute to struggles and dissonance in day to day life.

Dr. Tim Corson is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist with over 30 years of experience in understanding and treating the hardships, struggles and adversities humans experience growing across their lifespan. Dr. Corson specializes in therapeutic services for children, adolescents, young adults, parents and families; as well as offering individual adult and couple service. Dr. Corson is also available for supervision of mental health professionals. I believe in the natural need for attachment, community engagement, maturational development and healthy support from the collective members of our families, neighbors and providers.

Taking the first step in reaching out for help can be the most challenging and difficult part in the process of self healing. My objective is to make this, and all of the time we spend working toward your goals, as comfortable as possible by offering the opportunity for you to share and grow in a non-judgmental, supportive, and encouraging environment. My main focus is meeting you where you are, and using your strengths to work on areas of self improvement that are important to you.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages, from all cultural backgrounds and from all walks of life. I offer outreach therapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups. After graduate school, I moved to Massachusetts, where I worked in both the traditional office setting, and in outreach, where I counseled clients in their homes. My lifelong love and appreciation for the outdoors called me to make a bold move to Montana. This is where I was exposed to the many opportunities to use my love of the outdoors to enrich the therapeutic process.

My name is Kristi Rooney. I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor committed to empowering individuals in accomplishing their health, wellness, relationship, education, and career goals. My work focuses on identifying the obstacles and personal challenges causing emotional turmoil. I believe in taking a person center approach in helping clients reach their goals. I am passionate about creating a welcoming and safe environment for individuals to explore the ineffective behaviors, habits, and beliefs keeping them stuck.

I am dedicated to providing help for the hurting, in a safe and compassionate environment. We all have times when we could use a little help, but change is possible and can lead to a great life. I combine evidence-based, cutting-edge therapies intended to bring healing to the brain. These include LENs Neurofeedback, EMDR (I am an approved consultant), and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. As a 25-year military veteran, I have a solid understanding of issues experienced by military and veteran clients and their families, and a deep desire to provide veterans and first-responders with help.

It takes a lot to be a person. Perhaps you've lost a loved one, are struggling through a life transition, or have regrets. Maybe you've even experienced pain and hurt by someone you thought was safe and secure to trust. Life is difficult. And yet, there's hope. We thrive in relationships and connections with others, not struggle through painful moments alone. In our work together, I promise to give you my utmost commitment toward helping you identify and grow from the challenging experiences accompanying this life.

I believe we develop our ability to thrive from not only our individual gifts, but also our personal responses to life's challenges. I specialize in working with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems and/or trauma. I never underestimate the complexities of the mind, personality, and relationships, and at the same time, I feel psychotherapy should be practical and goal-oriented. I have a thoughtful, compassionate style in addressing the roots of repetitive distress, while keeping in mind that such work must also emphasize alleviation of more immediate distress so you can move forward with your life.

Talking about our struggles in life can be extremely difficult and we often suffer in silence. Silence can lead to feeling angry, depressed, anxious, emotionally numb or even suicidal. You may find yourself often wondering "Why can't I ever be happy?" or "What is wrong with me?" Have you tried traditional "talk therapy" and find yourself still struggling? Often, your current life struggles can be the result of previous stressful/traumatic incidents you have experienced. I am specialty trained in specialized techniques such as Eye Movement and Desensitization (EMDR) and can help you overcome negative self-talk and trauma.

I believe we all have the capacity to heal. If you chose to work with me, I will offer you a non-judgmental space where you can heal and grow. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I have a holistic approach to psychotherapy. I offer psychotherapy with adults, teenagers and children. I also offer therapy for parents who want to improve their relationship with their children. I offer therapy for a variety of issues and concerns, including anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, attachment difficulties, grief, difficult decision making, isolation, relationship distress and foster care/ adoption, fertility issues and pregnancy loss.

Helping empower people to live joyful, abundant peace-filled lives, while enjoying the gift of life given me by God forms the purpose and drives the mission of my ministry as a therapist. The purpose of Heart and Hand Center is to alleviate suffering that comes to people of all ages as a result of trauma, grief, loss, injury, accidents, divorce, family dysfunction, war, poverty, addictions, death, and disease. We use a healing approach combining compassion and care with expressive arts therapy, equine assisted psychotherapy, and spirituality to address root causes of emotional, behavioral, and psychological problems.

I offer in-office and online counseling. I am devoted to helping to optimize the mental health of individuals in Montana, and improve access to counseling. Online counseling is a great option to engage in counseling and work toward a better quality of life. I have a holistic approach to counseling, and I work with my clients to incorporate their beliefs in counseling such as emotional, spiritual, and physical aspects.
