I value human connection, and provide care in a shame free, judgment free, and collaborative way.

I help individuals process grief and trauma associated with a variety of experiences, (e.g., death, job loss, illness, relationship, financial problems, and substance use. Ultimately, I help clients become more hopeful and even joyful about their lives moving forward. With compassion and empathy I am prepared to help you with the process of healing emotionally through this time of transition. I understand grief can affect each of us in ways that we cannot process by ourselves. I will assist you on your journey by providing a safe place where you can grieve in healthy ways and begin to experience a more joyful life.

Do you struggle with self-confidence or anxiety? Have you experienced grief or gone through trauma? Are you going through the adoption process or struggling with your identity as an adoptee? This can all greatly impact our personal and professional lives. It can make us want to retreat, isolate, and see ourselves in a negative light. Doing this, in turn, can lead into potential depression and not feeling like ourselves anymore. Yet, life has so much to offer, and you are here for a reason. You have a purpose and deserve to live a beautiful, happy and fulfilled life where you feel confident and capable of conquering those anxieties.

Have you been struggling with communication with your children and/or other loved ones? Do you feel disconnected or more distant than you would like in your important relationships?

Life takes unexpected turns sometimes. Asking for help can be difficult, but I promise to make this transition as comfortable as possible for you. My name is Amy Dandliker. I have 14 years of experience in the mental health field, and also have previous experience in education.

I enjoy working with adults who suffer from grief and loss, trauma, and sport-related performance issues. To help overcome these challenges, I take a collaborative approach that focuses on understanding the problem to determine how best to resolve it. I believe that humans have a large capacity to be autonomous and self-directed. Thus, as a psychologist I help my clients realize this potential, promoting adaptive ways of coping, and work myself out of job as a result. Theoretically, I work from interpersonal, psychodynamic, and existential perspectives, and believe that the foundation of effective counseling stems from the therapeutic relationship.

Hi - Welcome to ONLINE counseling. I have a unique practice that supports people from all over Montana --- after 15 years of seeing couples and individuals in person in my Bozeman office, I'm now working exclusively with individuals online. I have had the honor of helping hundreds of Montanans conquer their depression or anxiety, regain their confidence, improve their communication skills, renew their relationship by working on themselves ... and to get back to being the person they want to be. I think you'll be surprised at how comfortable online therapy feels - it's just like sitting in the same room.

I work with a variety of life issues, from trauma and grief to depression, anxiety and everyday stressors in between. My hope for our work together is to help my clients develop a deeper sense of knowing and trusting themselves. I strive to provide a space to explore how and where a person may feel stuck in order to move forward with a better sense of awareness and a greater level of compassion. I believe when self-awareness grows, we are able to show up differently in our relationships, desires, and lives. I also believe change is possible when we have a trusting therapist/client relationship to build off.
