Therapists in Missoula County, MT

I believe life is all about connection and relationships: the one we have with ourselves, others, our environment, our spirit/soul or higher power however you decide to identify such to be of utmost importance. I also believe that our traumas and our own fears often put ourselves in our own way. Therapy, having someone accompany us on life's journey, can be a very helpful avenue in providing a safe and supportive context to look at ourselves, the opportunity to deepen our self-understanding and reflect on our choices as well as carves out time to evaluate our lives from another perspective.

We all deserve the opportunity to come home to ourselves. My hope is to provide individuals of all ages with a space to safely explore their inner world. I believe that we all have the capacity for change and that our ability is stronger when we connect with others.

As a counselor, I am passionate about helping adolescents, young adults, college students, and athletes navigate the complex challenges of anxiety, pressure, life transitions, low self esteem, self acceptance, relationship distress, etc. Throughout different sessions, I work diligently to create a space that allows clients to be their authentic selves and feel truly heard as they share their experiences.

Wherever you are in your life, I’d love to get to know you and see what healing we can accomplish together. I am constantly amazed by the resourcefulness that clients have used to survive through the hardest parts of their lives. Oftentimes, making it through also means that we have developed parts of ourselves that are tough enough to cause us problems we can’t solve alone. I see my job as a therapist as being that other person who helps you create a safe and curious space to heal the frustrations between those parts that feel stuck and the parts that help you thrive.

I work from a strength based approach believing that each individual and family is resilient and has the ability to reach for their potential and healing. I believe counseling is an opportunity to better define your desires for self, values, beliefs, goals and ultimately move towards the healthiest version of you. I work with youth, teens and adults with depression/anxiety/trauma & grief and find that as you increase your ability to manage and integrate these experiences into daily living, healing happens.

Nesting Communities Counseling and Art Therapy PLLC is about creating community and a safe space for art-making, trauma work, and process through open-ended counseling.

My way of being with a patient is interpersonal. It is founded on establishing an emotional connection with the person that comes to me to help them understand and hopefully resolve their intra as well as their interpersonal struggles. The importance of healthy exploration of who one is essential to being able to have healthy and growth producing relationships. Resolution to problems and change is not found in simple cookie cutter or templated solutions. For me personally psychotherapy is the way that I live my life. It is not a collection of techniques but a significant part of who I am.

My goal is to support clients as they seek positive changes in their lives, navigate challenges, or develop skills to better manage their emotions. Whether you struggle with trauma, mood, relationships, disordered eating, body-image issues, or low self-esteem, I am here to offer non-judgmental support through a strengths-based, collaborative relationship. Together, we can build resilience, explore feelings of shame, pursue authenticity, and develop sustainable motivation for change. My particular areas of interest include working with survivors of sexual assault, and navigating the fulcrum between disordered eating and exercise.

This being human is difficult at times and part of the human condition is experiencing pain. When we don’t allow ourselves to move through our pain we can develop poor coping skills and or mental health challenges. My hope is to move with you through your challenges and develop a strong therapeutic relationship without judgment and with empathy, trust, compassion, and unconditional positive regard in order to assist in the development of the appropriate therapeutic tools and skills so you feel hope and accomplishment and as well as an overall reduction in whatever symptoms you may be experiencing.

A broken heart. It is what finally brings many people to counseling. If you have experienced a traumatic event, it is likely that most of your relationships have been affected. Some may be estranged or have ended. The pain of the original trauma compounds with each loss: relationships, jobs, motivation to participate in activities you used to enjoy. Perhaps your health has suffered.

Connection is foundational to the human experience. How we connect with ourselves and with those around us directly impacts how we walk through the world. I want to walk alongside you in a way that holds space to be curious about what may be getting in the way of connection. Possibly shame, trauma, depression, anxiety, perfectionism, poor communication ect. Furthermore, I want to help facilitate a move toward healing and restoration within ourselves and within our communities.

Julie is one of the most insightful, caring counselors showing keen insight into matters of love, affairs, childhood sexual abuse, with a big-hearted approach to heal emotional and physical scars of childhood and victimization. With couples, Julie encourages loving with abandon from a position of personal strength and solid self. She relies as much on 34 years marriage as she does on system interventions and textbook solutions. She is also talented counseling those with issues stemming from chronic diseases like diabetes, MS, and other auto-immune conditions. Julie loves counseling women ready to use kindhearted assertiveness.

I practice a relational form of counseling, which means I weigh heavily on how and why our relationships develop while taking into consideration the mental, physical and emotional associations we draw or conclude from these relationships. The relationship between therapist and client, the relationships you have had over the course of your life, issues and/or concepts you have faced or struggled with, and, most importantly, the relationship you have with yourself are all focal points for counseling. Trust and building rapport with your therapist is paramount and I work to cultivate an environment that promotes respect and self-exploration.
