Therapists in Ulm, MT

Sometimes life gets the best of us, and we find ourselves lacking the meaning and fulfilment in life we deeply desire. The pain that is real and upsetting may be within yourself or within other relationships. Additionally, you may find you lose yourself in the daunting role as a caregiver of a child, a spouse, a parent, or a friend. You deserve to be seen, heard, and understood, with unconditional positive regard to get support and healing that align with your values toward a life of meaning and fulfilment and that considers the uniqueness of your story.

Laura has been working in the mental health field with children, adolescents, and families for over 10 years. She believes that there is a therapist out there for everyone, you just have to find your right fit.

I work with children, teens, and adults to manage and assist with difficulties that interfere with daily functioning, which include depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, grief and loss issues, divorce, and trauma while working together to reach goals in a safe and confidential environment.

As a therapist, my aim is to meet you where you are. I help by fostering a safe, non-judgmental environment, centered on exploring the unique issues and struggles which brought you to therapy. I will provide support and understanding within the therapeutic relationship for you to better understand yourself and the difficulties you are having. In this process you can learn to understand and manage the obstacles that have led to the struggles whether it be in your mood, behaviors, self-esteem, jobs, and/or relationships. I believe in the most difficult of times there is also an opportunity for change and growth.

I enjoy helping children overcome and heal from life's challenges. I believe that teamwork with parents is critical to kid's healing and healthy development. With over 25 years of professional experience, I specialize in treating children ages 2-18. I offer effective evidence based treatment for early childhood through adolescence. Children's stumbling blocks can be rooted in divorce, learning or developmental disabilities, loss, grief, behavioral difficulties, trauma, abuse, depression, anxiety and academic struggles. Counseling can help turn these struggles into valuable life experience and increased confidence.

Everyone is different and I have found over the years that people find many ways to cope. I work to help you cultivate those skills that are working and provide additional skills to help with healthy coping while providing opportunities to work through current and past life stressors in a non-biased or judgmental way. Focusing on these strategies consistently helps people start feeling better and less stressed. My goal is for you to find how therapy can help you feel better, with the added support and sense of not needing to do your journey all on your own.
