Therapists in Missoula, MT

It's my passion to see people free of social-emotional struggles in life. I enjoy offering a solution focused, person centered, and relational-based approach.

Hello! Thank you for considering my practice. I'm committed to providing a welcoming and safe atmosphere for healing and growth. My therapeutic foundation is relationship and attachment based (childhood through adulthood and life transitions.) I have 16 years in the Missoula community providing therapy to adults, children, and families. My experience includes helping clients heal trauma, implementing practical skills for managing distress, and helping individuals understand personal attachment patterns and develop secure relating (improved relationships). I also provide equine facilitated psychotherapy sessions from Spring to Fall.

I help my clients through empathic listening to identify core issues and develop strategies to empower themselves and attain their treatment goals.

Part of being human means that most of us will inevitably struggle at some point in our lives. It is common to seek support and guidance to help navigate through difficult times. Finding a therapist who feels like "the right fit" can be challenging, as it is important to find someone you trust and who is knowledgeable about what has prompted you to seek help. My treatment approach is grounded in compassionately understanding client's unique life history and experiences. I highly value authenticity and flexibility; and my goal is to build a collaborative relationship so that we can tailor therapy to address your needs.

My therapeutic focus is to meet each person where they are at in their journey and to work alongside every person to help them accomplish their goals, together as a team. I create a warm and inviting atmosphere to ensure every person feels as safe as possible throughout every session.

Are you looking for a change? I would love to meet with you & offer my undivided presence & attention as we seek to find a way to make your life work best for you. I have 20+ years of experience & am confident that, if you decide to work with me, I can help provide you with the support & insight you need to make changes to improve your life so that it better suits your needs. I see individual adults and have experience in the areas of personal growth, depression, anxiety, trauma, divorce, parenting, relational conflict, behavioral concerns & adoption.

Currently Accepting New Clients. Life is the journey we take to find ourselves in a search for meaning and purpose. As the roads of life are traveled it is easy to become disoriented, lost, or overwhelmed. Healing can happen when we are able to find our way and reconnect with ourselves and others. I believe this is a collaborative process that is most effectively done through connection and developed awareness. My goal is to help you build a diverse collection of skills to make your journey what you want it to be.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples navigating reproductive experiences including perinatal mood disorders, loss, infertility, high-risk pregnancies, NICU, birth trauma, abortion, and parental identity adjustment.

Life transitions can be devastating, and the more significant the change the more challenging the adjustment. If you are facing a loss due to death & dying, divorce, unemployment, or chronic health issues you may be consumed with fear, anxiety, and a sense of hopelessness. Kate invites you to embrace the challenges instead of resisting them. Together we will focus on developing a sense of safety by shifting from what was to what can be. You are not alone, and Kate would like to be a collaborative partner in your individual process toward healing.

I am accepting new clients for both in-person and telehealth sessions. My approach to therapy is client centered and strengths based. I believe in creating strong therapeutic relationships with my clients which I feel is essential for change to take place. I meet my clients with compassion, empathy and without judgement. Through developing a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship, my hope is that clients will feel heard, break unhealthy patterns, improve their confidence, build insight, develop new skills, discover their strengths and use them in their everyday life to work towards their goals.

Offering in person indoor and outdoor sessions as well as telehealth. If we have a chance to work together I will offer you my presence and attention. We will work together to help you see yourself more clearly, make choices that support your healthy growth, and address your goals so that your experience of life is more positive. I see families, couples, and individual adults. I have experience helping folks with personal growth, depression, anxiety, trauma, sexual abuse, marriage issues, divorce, parenting, family conflict. I also offer movement therapy groups using The Discipline of Authentic Movement.

I am here to help you or your loved ones with the large scope of challenges life presents. I believe healing begins with trusting relationships, empathy, and a space free from judgement. I have worked in the social work field for over 15 years in a number of different roles, allowing me to use my diverse knowledge and experience to help my clients.
