Therapists Beginning With P in Montana
Maybe you are seeking more meaning and purpose in your life. Maybe you worry about not living in a way that reflects your true potential. These are common concerns and ones that deserve attention. When they are avoided, unwanted behaviors and emotional distress can follow. One way to begin addressing these concerns is to develop a sense of authenticity and alignment with personal values. Another is to confront fears and uncertainties around death and dying. Exploration of what makes life worth living allows clarity of motivation and potential to emerge, bringing with them an opportunity for new choices and ways of living or being.

I sincerely enjoy working with people and have experience with all diagnoses. I have had trainings in anxiety, depression and bipolar issues. I am watchful of breathing habits and body language during sessions so am able to coach clients on their own patterns. I have been doing this for many years and feel like I have learned so much. I believe there is a definite connection between our thoughts and our emotions so will often ask if that person is aware of their body responses and sensations to their thoughts.

I have worked with high risk adolescents for the past 22 years. I have experience with family work, long term trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and attachment. I believe in the power of relationship to change people, and to help people understand their trauma to help them live fuller lives and understand family and individual patterns. I have a deep understanding of long term abuse and childhood trauma , as well as domestic violence, and it's affect on relationships and lifelong satisfaction. I am looking for clients who are interested in looking at their own trauma and attachment and how this is connected to current life issues, or current road blocks people are facing.

As a somatic therapist, the heart of my philosophy is the belief that true healing occurs when we honor the intrinsic wisdom within our bodies and listen attentively to its messages. A potential for transformation arises from blending practices such as yoga, iRest, mindfulness CBT, and ecopsychology ultimately empowering us to embark on journeys of self-discovery, express challenging emotions without words, and explore fresh paths of self-expression and healing. Together, we can navigate the challenges of life, heal from past wounds and overcome obstacles to live a more fulfilling and purposeful life one steppingstone at a time.

I enjoy working with individuals who are on the verge of major life transitions, and supporting them as they find, develop, and come to celebrate their strengths and individual differences. Those transitions can be from adolescent dependence on their parents to young adulthood; the discovery and acceptance of gender and sexual identity; developing coping skills to manage chronic illnesses; and increasing independence and strengths after changes in relationships.

I specialize in working with a variety of different age groups and backgrounds. In the therapist role, I believe in meeting the client where they are at, and transparency. When working with younger clients I believe that it is important to also work with the family. I have experience working with families in order to work towards understanding and strengthen the overall family unit. The key to making progress is building and maintaining a trusting and empathetic relationship with the client. For the past 11 years I have primarily worked in the school system as a licensed school counselor.

I enjoy working with clients of all ages, from all cultural backgrounds and from all walks of life. I offer outreach therapy for individuals, couples, families, and groups. After graduate school, I moved to Massachusetts, where I worked in both the traditional office setting, and in outreach, where I counseled clients in their homes. My lifelong love and appreciation for the outdoors called me to make a bold move to Montana. This is where I was exposed to the many opportunities to use my love of the outdoors to enrich the therapeutic process.

—Immediate Openings— Oftentimes we minimize our own experiences and believe we are not worthy of someone else’s time and energy, limiting our capacity in relationships. I sincerely believe all individuals have the capacity for authenticity, mutuality, and growth-producing connection. These experiences can flourish by providing a relationship that is safe, compassionate, and empowering. It is my hope to cultivate those feelings within counseling to take beyond the room. Counseling can help you understand the meaning you make of experiences, past and present, in your life and engage in a deeper relationship with yourself and others.
