Therapists Beginning With H in Montana

There are points in our life when burdens become too heavy, the way forward too dim, and we lose sight of who we are. I believe suffering is not meant to be endured alone. As a counselor, my hope is to provide a space where there is both warmth and freedom – freedom to show up as you are and walk into light, which is a metaphor that means something different to each person. This often requires courage and time. I will compassionately and respectfully walk with you, as we navigate the path towards healing and wholeness together.

For the past several years, it has been my privilege to walk with people as they enter periods of life where they feel challenged, hurt, and often stuck. It is my goal to help you explore these wounds, navigate through the sticky places, and return to a higher level of functioning.

I'm here to provide you with a respectful, accepting, and safe space where your healing journey can begin. I'm have a passion for helping individuals find their way through life's most trying moments.

I believe that healing is not a destination but a courageous journey, and I'm honored to walk beside you on that path

Do you struggle to find hope and purpose in your day-to-day life? Do you find yourself trying to control things that are out of your control? Is it more difficult than usual to make simple decisions? Do you have questions about faith, God, and where you fit into all of "this"? Do you wonder if change is possible? Each of us has experiences that have influenced our responses and reactions to life events. Our perceptions of those experiences are unique to each one of us. Understanding how our perceptions are influencing our responses and reactions helps each of us manage our lives in a healthy manner.

Are you exhausted from stress, never-ending mental loads, and responsibilities in addition to feeling hopeless about your mental health? Let's be honest, therapy can be scary and intimidating to start! From personal experience, I avoided therapy for years until I took the leap and noticed the incredible impact it had on my quality of life. I believe in person-centered approaches, where YOUR sessions are tailored to YOU and not a "one-size fits all" method. I want you to feel heard and understood, while also challenging you to work towards your best self. Therapy is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself - you deserve it!

Are you seeking a therapy experience that honors your unique way of experiencing the world with a therapist who understands the importance of a welcoming and safe relationship? Are you ready to reduce your anxiety, stress, fear and depression by collaborating with someone who will support you without judgement? Deciding to establish an alliance with a therapist is a brave thing to do and can help you find greater calm and sense of overall well being.

Of the many lessons that we are confronted with in our modern era, perhaps the most important is that of the vitalness of maintaining connection- within ourselves, first and foremost, so that we can know and call upon those personal resources that facilitate connection with all that is outside of us. Living with a mental health condition, such as depression or anxiety, can threaten our ability to know who we truly are and, as a result, deprive the world of our true gifts.

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.

Talking about our struggles in life can be extremely difficult and we often suffer in silence. Silence can lead to feeling angry, depressed, anxious, emotionally numb or even suicidal. You may find yourself often wondering "Why can't I ever be happy?" or "What is wrong with me?" Have you tried traditional "talk therapy" and find yourself still struggling? Often, your current life struggles can be the result of previous stressful/traumatic incidents you have experienced. I am specialty trained in specialized techniques such as Eye Movement and Desensitization (EMDR) and can help you overcome negative self-talk and trauma.

My goal is to assist clients in recognizing and understanding what is troubling them, process emotions, identify solutions, and, ultimately, help them achieve their individual goals. I am available to help with difficulties such as anxiety, depression, life changes and stressors, relationship issues, trauma, and grief and loss.

Are feeling stuck in one or more areas of your life? Are you in the midst of a major life transition? Working with a psychotherapist will allow you to explore yourself and your relationships with someone who is objective and nonjudgmental.

Seeking support is not always easy and I'm happy you're considering talking with a counselor. My job is to provide you opportunities to safely explore the elements of your life that are getting in your way and support you while you develop skills and strengths to improve your wellbeing. You have unique needs and experiences and I will orient my work to you accordingly to create a counseling experience that is helpful and productive.

Life is full of battles and challenges that can sometimes feel impossible to face alone. I offer individual and family therapy to help my clients overcome life's challenges and feel empowered. I have found that not one theory of therapy works for all clients. For that reason, I have studied and practiced cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, and person-centered therapy as best suited for each client. I also have a level III certification in Eating Disorder Intuitive Therapy.

We do not have to improve ourselves; we just have to let go of what blocks our heart.  -Jack Kornfield.

I provide confidential and professional care to teens and adults seeking to heal from the past, manage transitions in their lives, and create a healthy future. By building a safe and trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients, I help them better understand their own thoughts, feelings and behaviors so that they find the empowerment and strength they need to cope with the challenges that face them.

Hi there, I’m Christin and I am so glad you are reaching out! I'm here to offer you a safe space for navigating emotions and new circumstances. I work alongside individuals to provide support in emotional turmoil and building resilience. I will meet you where you are from a place filled with empathy and without judgement.

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.
