Oppositional Defiance (ODD) Therapists in Belgrade, MT

We all need to feel heard, valued and respected. But, what happens when our own stress level or that of our children becomes more than we can manage? When ideal communication goes out the window, and we feel frustrated and at a loss? I work therapeutically with you and your child to discover the reasons behind your child's behavior and teach you the skills necessary to restore balance. Whether you or your child are experiencing the effects of divorce, depression, anxiety, oppositional acting out or ADHD, I can help by identifying the cause and offering solutions.

I work best with clients who want to build more meaningful lives. My work is based in helping people who feel unsatisfied or out of control to connect to themselves and move forward accordingly. The clients I work with often report feeling overwhelmed by their emotions, numb to their emotions, or some combination of the two. This emotional dysregulation tends to leave people feeling helpless or out of control; in therapy, I work together with clients to move toward a vibrant way of living and an understanding of the power they hold to shape their lives for the better.

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.

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.

I have a private practice in Livingston serving youth, adolescents, and adults. When clinically indicated I also work with families and couples. A large portion of my work is with youth, ages five through twelve, and adolescents. Previously I spent seven years as clinical director of two residential treatment programs for emotionally disturbed adolescents. As my practice has matured adults now constitute roughly half of my case load. In my practice I provide counseling, therapy (cognitive behavorial, behavioral), psychodynamic psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis. For more detail you can visit my website at www.danamiquelle.com.

Helping empower people to live joyful, abundant peace-filled lives, while enjoying the gift of life given me by God forms the purpose and drives the mission of my ministry as a therapist. The purpose of Heart and Hand Center is to alleviate suffering that comes to people of all ages as a result of trauma, grief, loss, injury, accidents, divorce, family dysfunction, war, poverty, addictions, death, and disease. We use a healing approach combining compassion and care with expressive arts therapy, equine assisted psychotherapy, and spirituality to address root causes of emotional, behavioral, and psychological problems.

I graduated from Montana State University in 2010 and have a combined 6 years working with children and adults with mental health issues. My interests are working with adults and children that suffer from depression, anxiety, bipolar, attachment issues. I also have an interest in working with families to help with healthy boundaries, increasing positive communication and setting appropriate goals to increase the health of the family.

Life is complicated and painful. You deserve the respect, confidentiality, attention, and compassion that I offer as a Professional Mental Health Counselor. Porn/sex addiction (and partner/familial effects), occupational stress (military/veterans, law enforcement, first responders), separation/divorce/infidelity, trauma/PTSD, domestic abuse/violence, and grief/loss issues, are some of the areas in which I have clinical experience and training. I have worked in mental health since 2008, and spent four years at an inpatient crisis residential facility working with suicidal and high-risk patients, and am a Montana Red Cross member.

If you, an adolescent child or an adult family member is frustrated, hurting, fearful, discouraged or just at wits end, I bring respect, curiosity and a healing approach to help you. Together we will find ways to cope with and overcome the stresses, pains, obstacles and trauma of life. Your peace of mind is worth it. From personal pain, relationships, addiction and motivation to work-related issues, my approach to your needs focuses on your experiences, strengths and goals. My therapeutic approach is compassionate, collaborative, positive and direct. We can explore your needs & goals during an initial no-charge consultation session.

It is my sincere honor to work with every person who walks through my office doors. It takes courage and strength to overcome the stigma and doubt that can come with entering therapy. The fundamental basis of my work begins with a genuine and authentic relationship with my clients. I have found that over time this serves as a means to jointly solve the problems in your life, and further, to achieve your highest possible dreams. If you find it difficult to make the initial leap into therapy, I'd like to help. Schedule a consultation with me today.

We were all teenagers once, and can often recall struggles, such as bullying, depression, anxiety, and fears during adolescence. Many of my clients struggle with the daily challenges of being a young person in this world. I know that the parents also struggle and I provide support for the children, and families. I also see adults and I'm happy to provide trauma based therapy to anyone aged 12 and up. My passion is to help others to grow and change in a way that complements the type of life that they want to live, rather than what they are currently struggling with. I would be delighted to be a part of your counseling journey.

One of the important aspects of therapy for me is letting the client work at their own pace and without judgement from the therapist. I want the client to decide where therapy will take them and what it is that they want to get out of the experience.

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.

Let's be honest, most of us wouldn't go back to our adolescent years even if someone paid us to do so. Growing up is hard and life throws a lot at children, teens, and young adults. It is not uncommon to feel many conflicting ways about adolescence (and often times many conflicting ways at once). The things we face as we grow up impact our ability to engage, succeed, and feel accepted in our family life, our friend and peer circles, and in our academic sphere. It is my distinct honor to work with adolescents as they navigate some of the toughest years of life.

The teenage years can be really tough on teens AND their parents. Changes happen that can throw their emotions on a rollercoaster -- sadness, worry or anger can take over. Friends can push a teen toward dangerous choices. Add on the stress of high school, early romantic relationships, working towards independence, and there are all sorts of places that a teenager can struggle. It takes a special sort of counselor to work with a teen. Someone who is serious and kind when they struggle, but keeps a sense of humor, wonder and joy that can connect with them past those struggles.

I believe that mental health is similar to one's physical health. Just as we can hurt and thrive physically, so can we hurt and thrive psychologically and emotionally. There are times when we can all use someone to talk to, someone to help us navigate life, or someone to walk with us as we move through periods of growth and newness. I will work hard to meet you where you are, offering unconditional regard and emotional support.
