Spirituality Therapists in Bozeman, MT

I believe everyone has an innate strength and resilience, an authenticity that is limited only by inaccurate beliefs and interpretations of life struggles and challenges. My work with clients is geared toward identifying and removing those blocks to create space for the authentic self to flourish. I counsel individuals, couples, and families wishing to work through past or current trauma, or struggles with day-to-day challenges.

If qualitatively changing how you relate to yourself, others and the way you experience life, then the approach I use with my clients may speak to you. I aim to provide individuals with an experience that goes beyond talk therapy; as a seasoned level 2 Internal Family Systems (IFS) psychotherapist, the approach used with client consists of somatic, parts based experiential processing that can open the door for holistic and transformational psychotherapy. In addition to working at my private practice, I also am a senior staff therapist at MSU and have experience working with a variety presentations, including eating disorders.

Pause. Breathe in... Exhale... How are you? You may feel overwhelmed or anxious when you slow down. Or, maybe things feel a bit out of control right now; your relationships seem off, you feel alone, lost, or stuck. Perhaps, you have a lot of deep thoughts and big feelings and are not sure how to process everything. If any of these statements resonate, you deserve a safe space to feel seen and heard and to explore and process your experiences.

I know how life can feel very hard, confusing, lonely, and scary. I understand what it feels like to want things in life to change; whether that is one's own view of self, relationships with friends, family or a partner. I am here to help you understand why you are where you are and where you want to be mentally, emotionally, spiritually or relationally. In this therapeutic setting you will be welcomed, understood, and supported with no judgment. Therapy can and should be a helpful tool to learn more about yourself, and learn to really like yourself.

We are all going through this human experience together and we all have issues. Whether you’re struggling with motivation, anxiety, feeling stressed out, or just want someone to help you understand who you are, I am here to help you. I found counseling in my 20’s and it changed my life. I healed many wounds, my scars faded, and I found meaning in my life. If you come to counseling to do the work, you can reach your goals and live the life you want to live.

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.

I want to bring hope to whatever situation you are facing. As we work together in individual or couples counseling, I will help facilitate healing, growth, and self-compassion. You may be stressed beyond your limits at home and/or work with our new world realities due to COVID-19. Maybe you are dealing with past or current trauma, or struggling in your relationships. You may find yourself facing grief and loss during this time as our losses have increased due to stay-at-home orders and new ways of living. Many are struggling with anxiety, depression, hopelessness, and feelings of loneliness as a result.

Relationships - to others and, importantly, to ourselves - dramatically influence our ability to flourish in a rich lived experience. I work with individuals (age 15+) and couples who grow weary of feeling upset, disconnected, exhausted, alone, empty, worried, anxious... who seek a daily experience of thriving, engagement, closeness, and congruence between who you are, your desires, and your ways-of-being. Though feeling fed up, frustrated, and ready for change isn't our preferred state of existence, those who find themselves here are also ready for and motivated to find change.

Now interviewing clients for June daytime openings. 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!

I believe that people have a natural capacity to learn new ways to navigate their life, even when their life feels stuck. I work with people who are experiencing a broad base of issues, including anxiety, life transitions, and unresolved trauma. I offer a secure environment where you can explore at a pace that works for you. This work has a way of inviting our being into the world and letting us live more fully.

I have been practicing psychotherapy for over 28 years. My experience allows me to work in deeper ways that help my clients to make meaningful and often dramatic changes in the way that they feel about themselves. These internal changes often lead to exciting and fulfilling external changes (i.e. relationships, increased meaningfulness in one's life, aliveness). When clients have feelings of depression, anxiety, stress, overwhelm, or lack of connection - I work with them in ways that help them to uncover and heal the parts of themselves that may have them stuck. My clients often report that our work is unlike previous therapy.

I believe that within every person is the capacity and courage to be who one truly is and live a joyful life. My goal is to help you overcome life's obstacles and find more authenticity, connection and meaning in your life. My approach is integrative and addresses the interplay of emotional, mental and physical well-being. I work with mindfulness, body-centered, positive psychology, and existential techniques to help you become more self aware, live more fully in the present, reduce distress, maintain healthy relationships, and to live an authentic life.

My name is Jessica Bozman and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I am strongly devoted to cultivating human connection by focusing on personal strengths. This helps foster a renewed sense of hope by emphasizing the holistic individual. I have focused my practice on working with adults and their inner child from all cultures and backgrounds. I am passionate about working with individuals conflicted with natural effects stemming from past trauma. Our attachment to this world and our connection with others is cultivated during childhood.

I believe that everyone has within them the capacity for growth and profound strength. However, sometimes we find ourselves stuck in problematic patterns without the insight or support we need to free ourselves. One of the greatest honors of my lifetime is the ongoing opportunity I have to walk alongside my clients as they both deepen their understanding of themselves and rewrite their stories to ones of strength, self-compassion and empowerment.

Relationships are the center of our lives: Depression often leads to a deep sense of loneliness. Anxiety drives the people around us crazy. Stress impacts interactions with those we love. At Center Counseling, we think about people in the context of their relationships and we work to help our clients feel more whole within themselves and in their relationships. We work with Couples, Parents, Adults, College Students, Middle- & High-School students, and Families to build healthy skills and strengthen connections.

Are you ready to transform your relationship with life? Are you feeling confused, anxious, or having difficulty finding your happiness in the midst of life's stressors? We all have problems, habits and "quirks" of personality and wonder sometimes when life gets rough, whether we need therapy or if it would be a good option. When life is getting on top of you, when you begin to feel strong emotions that you didn't know that you had, when you feel lost or hopeless or just want to reach your full potential, then give yourself a chance to seek a new solution. I can help. I am Gottman Level II and EMDR trained.

We are all wired for relationships and we long to connect with the people we love. Our relationships with those around us affect the way we think and feel about ourselves and our world. Eventually, we develop habitual patterns of thinking that influence our emotions, behaviors, and even our physical experience. Sometimes, these patterns become problematic, cause us distress, and keep us from reaching our goals.

Accepting new clients! 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. By understanding and connecting to our internal world we are better equipped to make decisions about our external world.

I work primarily with adults and older teens struggling with anxiety, depression, eating disorders, grief, trauma, life transitions, and just trying to understand and make sense of their lives. I have experience working in eating disorder treatment as well as college counseling. While I am guided by a variety of approaches, including psychodynamic, attachment, existential, and mindfulness theories, the heart of my work is the attitude that healing comes through connection and that we move through difficult times by learning to continually open up to experience.
