LGBTQ+ Affirming Therapists in Bozeman, MT

It is my honor to help you "be who you came here to be" by healing old survival skills, releasing old stories, and discovering the courage and strategies to help you step into manifesting change in your life. We'll collaborate in developing functional ways of getting your needs met, having healthy relationships, and creating your own new definitions of health, strength, and well-being. My transpersonal work includes creating ritual and healing ceremonies, developing an authentic and rich connection to Source as you understand it, and a variety of shamanic healing practices.

Hello, thank you for considering me to help you achieve your mental health goals. I see clients ages 12 and older who are looking for help navigating major life transitions, coping with depression/anxiety and other emotions, or are developing their major identities. Many of my clients come to therapy to create positive change in their lives, often after feeling lost, overwhelmed or alone. As a member of the LGBTQIA + community I often work with clients who identify as sexual and/or gender minorities, though all identities are welcome.

I work with college students and young adults. The years between 18-40 are not only busy externally with transitions, school, work, activities and relationships, but we're also managing anxiety, self-doubt, and exploring how past experiences currently influence our sense of self. I love exploring identity; working with you to integrate all the parts of your authentic self into a feeling of being fully "you" everyday. I work on relational/response patterns you feel stuck in, building trust and confidence in your own decision-making, resolving sources of stress and criticism & I'm just generally dedicated to raising up your self-worth

[not accepting new clients at this time] Here's what I believe: the power of emotions is incredible. They shape our identities, influence how we interact with others and can be the underlying source of ongoing problems. While it may be easier to stay silent or to push our emotions deep down, this does not miraculously “fix” our problems, nor does it allow us to heal. My approach to counseling is to provide a safe environment that allows for emotional exploration and a place to help you better navigate life's challenges. Whether you are dealing with personal, family or relationship problems, you don’t have to face them alone.

I am a licensed clinical social worker and AASECT Certified Sex Therapist. I utilize an integrative client centered approach in my work with individuals and couples. I believe it is important to meet people where they are in their lives and work with them to develop the best tools to help with their current challenges.

Although my practice is not limited to people who identify as LGBTQIA +, my specialty is working with transgender and gender non-conforming people and helping them address issues such as coming out to family and friends, navigating school or work issues, changing identity documents, and coping with the many social and emotional changes that transition brings. I also understand that transgender is an umbrella term that encompasses many identities and not all people wish to or can afford to medically transition. I meet people where they are and help them navigate where they want to go.

I am a person-centered therapist who believes that every individual is the expert of his/her own life, but having a safe & affirming environment to explore options, define personal success, communicate needs, manage thoughts, shift perspectives, or begin to heal from trauma is something anyone can benefit from. I work with clients of all ages, gender identifications, & backgrounds, & I specialize in mood disorders, trauma crisis, grief, & life transition counseling. I am a culturally sensitive counselor, & I offer an accepting and supporting atmosphere for everyone, including LGBTQIA + and BIPOC clients.

We specialize in providing online therapy (teletherapy) in an easy-to-access online format. Teletherapy has many added benefits, namely the ability to access treatment at your convenience, cut out travel time, time off work, and ultimately expense. ​We create an inviting and open space for you to do your treatment and to move into the rest of your day with a renewed sense of worth and purpose. Whether you desire convenience, privacy, the comfort of your own home, connecting without travel barriers, or feel uncomfortable or marginalized in the traditional counseling setting, our practice was built with you in mind.

It is my passion to help you overcome challenges one step at a time. Are you struggling? Feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Whether you are needing a safe space to explore your experiences, thoughts, and feelings or to better understand the internal chaos of being human, your journey can begin here with a nonjudgmental and empowering space to be able to talk freely. My approach in therapy is Transpersonal and holistic which takes all aspects of the self: intellectual, spiritual, social, emotional, and creative. I will work with you to help integrate all parts of your self to realize your true potential.

I work carefully, with the contact between therapist and client providing the conduit for awareness, growth and healing. Most discomfort involves dissatisfying contact and the inability to slow down and look at fear, anxiety and what we want in a supportive and yet challenging environment. Together, we will explore and question thoughts, patterns and ideas that are often too difficult to face alone. This exploration is especially helpful with depression, anxiety and coming out issues.I am also available for trainings to agencies, groups and institutions.

I am passionate about working with individuals who are suffering in a variety of ways--past trauma, addiction, life circumstances changing, young adults and adolescents who are struggling to find their place in the world, and adults ready to stop repeating the same old patterns which bring them back to the same old place. Being human is traumatic enough in and of itself. Pile on some childhood trauma, life circumstances changing beyond your control, and day-to-day stress, and you might find yourself struggling. I'm here to help you stop the pain from turning into ongoing suffering.

Counseling may be a great choice for you! When you feel understood, respected and believed by a counselor, a world of opportunity and personal growth can open up. Clients from all backgrounds in Bozeman seek out counseling for trauma, personal growth and overall mental health and wellbeing. I offer individualized services tailored to the client's needs. Expect to set goals and meet them, as we approach wellness, together.

I am first, a client-centered therapist. I believe therapy should be about the client and be met with unconditional positive regard. There is no place for judgment in therapy, and I am here to help you process and make your own decisions, not to tell you what to do.

It's easy to feel disconnected in modern life. This manifests in a variety of ways: dissatisfaction, anxiety, addiction or insomnia. Perhaps you struggle to experience the pleasure of connection. I believe that examining relationships with self and others while acknowledging the interdependence of all life is key. I specialize in working with adults who have experienced relational trauma and want a safe container to explore yoked accountability and respect. I encourage you to come with all your parts. To quote Audre Lorde, “Imposed silence about any area of our lives is a tool for separation and powerlessness.”

I provide therapy for adults. I help with relationships, depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, mindfulness, CPTSD, and healing from narcissistic abuse (as a child and/or adult). I typically work with clients who’ve already been on the path of personal growth. We’ll transform your unhelpful thinking and behavior, so your mood and relationships improve, and you create your better life. I also specialize in assessment to determine diagnosis for ages 6-90 (cognitive, academic, mood, personality, and disability), conduct pre-employment evaluations for law enforcement and fire depts, and consult with attorneys.

*** Not currently accepting new clients*** Seeking therapy is often a reflection of significant discomfort in your life. Maybe you feel that your emotions have become difficult to manage, or perhaps you feel numb to them. You might feel stuck in your relationships or job, or perhaps you have experienced a significant event (positive or negative) and are having difficulty adjusting to or making sense of it. These are just a few of the many situations that therapy can help you navigate by taking a curious approach to your thoughts and feelings and deepening your understanding of yourself, your relationships, and your mind.

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.

I believe that healing comes from a holistic approach that considers mind, body, and spirit. I focus on a collaborative relationship where we prioritize safety and trust. A metaphor that helps to encapsulate this process is that you have the map and I have the flashlight. While you control where we go, I help us to explore and go deeper into your internal world so we can better understand your experiences. By understanding and connecting to our internal world we are better equipped to make decisions about our external world. I help facilitate this process through a down-to-earth approach and a focus on mind-body connection.
