In Person Therapists in Manhattan, MT

I have experience working with all sorts of different people in all sorts of different walks of life. I love the variety. If I had to pick an ideal client, I tend to work well with head first, heart second (but not less) sort of people. My background roots are in philosophy, my interests are in the mystic, and my love is the human experience - all of it. My clients come to me for a slew of reasons, but the overall gist of it is they want to enjoy life. That typically means creating a better life, or living the life they have already, but better, or a combination of the two. I like to come along for a while to support that process.

I am a EMDR and brainspotting practitioner and I am also a certified clinical hypnotherapist. I have studied energy work such as reiki. Much of my work experience has been working with individuals, adolescents, and those in crisis. I work often with depression and anxiety.

Do you feel anxious, depressed, irritable, or just not like yourself? Are you struggling in your relationships, at work, in school, with family, or in every day life? Do you dread getting out of bed in the morning? Do you lack motivation to get things done, or no longer enjoy things you normally do? Are you questioning your identity? Maybe you've recently given birth, become a new parent, or experienced a significant life event that has left you feeling uncertain about where you fit in the world. You want to understand why you're feeling this way and find meaning amidst this hard time in your life. You want to feel like YOU again.

You already have, and can unlock, everything you need to live a fulfilling and purposeful life. My philosophy is that the person/people sitting across from me come with primary expertise, experience and wisdom. Each one is a specialist in their own self and their own life, and comes with inherent worth, value and dignity. My priority is to be fully present and aware in order to build trusting relationships, deeply understand, reflect each person's insights/solutions, and offer hope in other possibilities. It's an honor to be a partner and consultant in the process of uncovering hidden resources.

If you are going through pain, difficult transitions, or looking for growth and insight, this is the place. Whether your suffering is caused by emotional, physical, or relational distress, you are not alone and you can heal. My desire as a therapist is to bring compassionate curiosity towards your experience, while fostering personal growth and overall wellness. My hope is that through our work, you gain the freedom to feel lovable and valuable as you are right now, make healthy choices in relationships and life that align with your values, and build successful coping tools to navigate whatever unknowns life throws your way.

If talk therapy has not been 100% effective and you are seeking a holistic approach that includes healing of your mind, brain, and body, the nCenter might be what you are looking for.

We also have a PA who is able to provide medication management. The nCenter is committed to the highest standards of excellence, and we work to consider both your financial needs and your personal preferences about our services.

In 2008 I graduated from Western Michigan University with a Masters in Counseling. Since 2010, I have been a counselor in the Bozeman school district, and in 2014, I took a position working part-time at the nCenter in Belgrade. I am trained as a Safe-ti (School and Family Engagement - Trauma Informed) specialist, and I work with children and adolescents who have been traumatized. I love my work because I know the value to children, adolescents and parents in facing these difficulties before adulthood. I use this same skill set to work with adults who have experienced past or present trauma.

As a 5th-generation Montanan, I have experienced the value of deep roots and being connected to a place, a people, and a story. I believe relationships are at the heart of every story, and am passionate about helping individuals, families, and children reconnect with others and reconnect with themselves to make sense of their past, present, and future. I have training in individual therapy for adults and minors, couples therapy, and family systems. Whether working with adults, children, or families, I believe relationships are the mechanism for healing and that my relationship with my clients is a starting point for change.

NO CURRENT OPENINGS "If you never heal from what hurt you, you will bleed on people who didn't cut you." Mental health is just as important as physical health and yet we find often ourselves lacking in self care and emotional attention. Maybe you find yourself lashing out at loved ones, or having difficulties communicating effectively within relationships. Maybe you have inner doubts or shame that you have never been able to share in a safe and supportive setting. Maybe you are sick of constantly feeling depressed or anxious with no apparent cause and with minimal hope of change.

Change can be difficult, and let’s be honest, it can be incredibly overwhelming and feel impossible at times. I am passionate about working with you to navigate all of life’s difficulties. In order to restore balance to all areas in your life I utilize an array of tools, including coaching, to ensure change is achievable. No one wants to constantly feel “stuck”, and my goal is to help you move in a direction that feels positive and empowering. I strive to create an environment for my clients that is trusting, safe, and at times lighthearted because the ability to laugh and have fun is also an important part of the counseling.

Do you ever feel like your young child doesn't listen to you, or they do the opposite of what you ask them to do? Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT) is an evidence-based therapy to promote attachment using positive attention strategies to guide behaviors, while helping caregivers to provide consistent and predictable consequences when necessary. I work with biological parents, foster and adoptive families, and other caregivers including extended family. We also provide individual therapy to address challenges in parenting, and Circle of Security parenting sessions.

Are you struggling with feeling too much or nothing at all? Is it difficult to not only express what you are needing in relationships but understand and identify what you are feeling? Perhaps you feel detached or overburdened by aspects of yourself or your life? My goal is to help you reconnect and learn how to listen to yourself again.

My primary focus in the room is the therapeutic relationship between you and me. I believe that creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable and at ease will allow us to have an authentic, open experience with one another. I approach counseling from a person-centered perspective and will treat you with unconditional positive regard. When you feel like you are truly seen and heard then change has the opportunity to grow.

You may be struggling to find a deep connection with yourself and others and wondering why you act and think the way you do. I specialize in working with clients who are interested in engaging in self-reflection as a means to better understand themselves and their relationships. I understand that clients are looking for some resolve from their distress, no matter how big or small the distress feels. I like to help clients find useful and accessible strategies to begin moving them towards their treatment goals.

I work with individuals and couples experiencing a wide range of issues such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, or noticing continued patterns of conflict. Whatever is bringing you to counseling, we can work together to discuss what might benefit you the most at this time in life. Your willingness to seek help opens the door to discovering how you might create the change you wish for yourself, whether you're looking to explore something that has been deeply impactful, better understand yourself, learn how to effectively communicate and feel connected in your relationships, or feel like 'you' again.

Do you feel overwhelmed by waves of anxiety, alone in your depression, or worried about the future? You want things to change but don’t know where to start or if change is even possible. Whatever your reason for seeking support, I am committed to providing a judgment-free environment where you can explore experiences, gain insight, and strengthen emotional regulation. Your safety, trust, and comfort are top priorities.

Accepting New Clients!- No one is immune to the hardships in life; sometimes managing the challenges we encounter can be difficult. Perhaps you are finding yourself snapping at loved ones, constantly worried, experiencing overwhelming emotions, feeling you lost your sense of self, and the list could go on. Sometimes, we need extra support and hope to develop insight, heal and to move forward. I strive to create a calm and welcoming atmosphere, where we can navigate life challenges, develop resiliency and coping skills, regulate emotions, create new emotion patterns, and improve your overall wellness.

After 23 years as a therapist, along with my own life experiences, I’ve learned one thing for certain - we are all faced with pain and challenges that can lead to growth and change. But we can also get stuck. Life is challenging, requiring us to face things we want to avoid because those very things are uncomfortable & or painful. I believe humans have an innate desire to grow and flourish with challenges, but this desire gets buried for numerous reasons. Together in a safe therapeutic relationship, I believe I can help you feel less alone, rediscover your innate goodness , increase psychological flexibility, & feel better.
