Therapists in Big Sky, MT

Are you battling anxiety daily? Do you find yourself overthinking everything? Does your body feel fried? Do you struggle with feelings of self-worth? Do you have trouble getting through the day? Do you have a lot of trauma that you’ve tried to work through before but felt like it didn’t get you to where you want to be?

My favorite part about being a counselor is watching people heal and grow into healthier versions of themselves. I provide support for those who have experienced Trauma, Anxiety, Depression, Low Self-Esteem, and Substance Abuse. I am trained in EMDR therapy, which is my favorite way to address Trauma and heal the nervous system. I believe that nearly everyone has been through some form of Trauma and it can be the root cause of many other mental health conditions.

Growth and healing are best achieved within the context of a relationship. As a therapist with over 15 years of experience, I strive to connect with my clients on a deep level in order to facilitate meaningful and lasting change. I believe we our the expert of our own experience, and I seek to empower my client's in finding their own voice on the way to health and healing while providing guidance and support along the path. From a depth perspective, I take seriously the power of the unconscious, dreams, and synchronicities in a holistic, integrative approach which looks deeper than the surface level of the symptoms.

Throughout life we are faced with obstacles that can leave us feeling stuck, overwhelmed and defeated. At times we may even feel so alone, depressed or hopeless that we begin to think that suicide may be our only option. If this sounds like you--you are not alone! I have helped many clients to manage and overcome these issues, while feeling more empowered and in control of their lives. I understand how hard it is to seek out help. I am here to support you in your journey to change, healing and living a more fulfilling life.

Are you struggling with issues related to trauma, grief, anxiety, major life changes and/or relationship stress? Do you struggle with feelings of shame and guilt? My practice is grounded in the belief that everyone has the capacity to heal, achieve fulfillment, and to be fully present to life experience. I believe in the importance of our relationships with others and our connection to the natural world and how this connection can be regulating, helping us achieve freedom from shame, depression, and anxiety. Combining nature based work with somatic techniques can help release traumas stored in the body.

In life we encounter experiences that conceal our potential to flourish or succeed and this can make us feel stuck or helpless in a sense of suffering, struggling to get by. These blocks can come in many forms: traumatic experiences, negative messages we receive, illness, relationship patterns, grief, depression, anxiety, among others. Together we can work to find the root of the issue and find healing. I work to serve as a mirror to my clients, reflecting insights about patterns, internal dialog, and behaviors that are hard to "see".

In life, change is inevitable. Sometimes we want it, and sometimes we don't. Sometimes it comes easy, and sometimes it's among the hardest thing we'll ever try to do. Themes central to experiencing change include tolerating uncertainties, having safe supportive others who can witness and support change, and having choice on the kinds of support needed to make sustainable change. I'm pleased to offer Psychotherapy to residents in the State of Montana, as well as Programs and Collective Healing Communities.

As a psychologist, I offer a warm, collaborative, and strengths-based approach to therapy. I work with adults experiencing a variety of concerns, including unhealthy stress, anxiety, a diminished sense of connection and joy in life, significant transitions, and other issues impacting their well-being. I help clients improve their functioning and strengthen their capacity to handle the challenges of day-to-day life. I also support clients in deepening their self-awareness, increasing their understanding of their relational patterns, and living their lives in ways that are aligned with their needs and values.

My name is Aimee Lang (previously Volkman), and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC). I believe each individual is unique, and views the world through an individualistic lens- given their experiences. I feel everyone deserves the opportunity to be heard. It takes a lot of courage to take a step towards enhancing ones well-being. Often, people feel lost and overwhelmed in their past and current struggles. I have a varied clinical background focused on working with children, adults and families who are struggling with life changes, anxiety, depression, PTSD, divorce, autism, attachment and existential crisis.

I am Kristi Lahusen, a compassionate and dedicated Licensed Professional Counselor Candidate (PLPC), working under supervision with Mark Knox, LMFT. With a background in mental health, fitness, nutrition, and a commitment to fostering overall wellbeing and positive change, I am passionate about supporting children, teens, and adults on their journey towards growth, healing, and well-being. I hold a Master's degree in clinical mental health counseling from Liberty University where I honed my skills in psychotherapy, clinical assessment, and counseling techniques and interventions.

A few daytime appointments available in April. Imagine a world where growing up was easy and adulting was just as simple? There would be no peer relationship struggles, everyone had great self-esteem, angelic behaviors abounded, and traumatic life events never occurred. Heck, even our work and home lives were a breeze, we all had uncomplicated relationships, and mental health concerns did not exist. Unfortunately, we do face hard things. Therapy is a way to get help, guidance, and relief as you walk through the daily challenges of life. Are you ready for change? I bet you are!

When I reflect on what being a therapist means to me, the words that come to me are hope, healing, connection, and wholeness. The entire reason that I am a therapist is to help my clients discover that these do not represent mere words, but signify real experiences. I desire that each person I encounter in my work to experience all that life has to offer. However, I recognize that living in this world is not easy, and there is suffering, loss, trauma, disconnection. These experiences, though incredibly difficult, can also be the impetus and foundation of profound and transformative healing.

Do you feel stuck in your life? Are you looking to develop more awareness and insight into your underlying motives, defenses, and desires? Oftentimes we have learned to cope in ways that are no longer effective. I use a blend of therapeutic approaches to help you move from “Dis-ease” towards Ease, “Dis-connection” towards Connection, “Dis-comfort” toward Comfort. To move from trudging through life, or feeling stuck, towards thriving. I would love to help you navigate the challenges you are facing. The goal of therapy is to feel empowered to find healing and solutions to navigate life and live more in the present.

Do you feel stuck, unable to break unhealthy patterns or recover from old wounds? Maybe you've been thrown off kilter and need help getting back on track, or you just want to feel more comfortable in your own skin. Together, we will explore the places you're stuck, come to understand what keeps you there, and figure out how to move forward. I offer a nonjudgmental space where you can let down your guard and be seen and heard for who you truly are. My genuine, compassionate nature helps build relationships based on safety, trust, and authentic connection.

I believe in forming a strong and trusting relationship with my clients. I am known for my warmth, patience, curiosity, creativity and energy. I work successfully with individuals who feel stuck; that something is blocking them from getting to where they want to be. They may have lost their motivation, self-confidence, feel sad or fearful, have difficulties in relationships, or are haunted by things that have happened to them. I am attentive to how each individual takes in information and engage that learning style in sessions. My ultimate goal is to help others be more aware of who they are.

Furthermore, I have a Master of Public Health (MPH) which greatly enhances my skill set across a broad range of behavioral health competencies.

Does it seem like you fight the same fight with your partner? Can you predict the outcome of arguments based on a repeated pattern? Has there been infidelity, family conflict, or other pain points impacting your marriage/relationship? Are you wanting peace in your relationships and can't figure out how to achieve that beyond what you have tried already? I help couples and individuals understand their negative pattern then create the change they desire.
