Therapists Beginning With W in Montana
Making the step to engage in therapy is vulnerable and takes courage. I believe the counseling space should be safe and nonjudgmental. I engage counseling with a person-centered approach, you are the expert on yourself. I see each human as uniquely designed and therefore I do not see counseling as "one size fits all." With taking time to hear your story and build trust with you, I know that change can occur. I welcome you to find a place that holds both security and growth that might feel uncomfortable. With curiosity, compassion and an open mind, we can make this space beneficial for you.

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.

Hi, I'm Jana Wagner, a relationally-focused therapist based in Bozeman, MT. I work with clients who are interested in gaining greater insight into their thoughts, emotions, and experiences to improve their relationships with themselves and others. My goal is to help clients grow from adversity, unpack shame and guilt, and heal old wounds to support them in moving toward a life that feels healthy and meaningful to them. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to be vulnerable, explore their emotions, and address patterns contributing to symptoms or behaviors.

Do you feel stuck or that there should be more to life? Do you feel your life lacks purpose and meaning? Are you struggling with a particular problem or mental health concern? I know it can feel intimidating to seek help, but counseling can be enjoyable and a positive first step to living your best life. I work with adults 18+ to identify situations, thoughts and beliefs that affect your relationships, school, career and wellbeing. We will work together, in a confidential, safe, nonjudgmental environment to find answers to the problem areas that are holding you back from achieving goals and the life you envision.

Everyone is different and I have found over the years that people find many ways to cope. I work to help you cultivate those skills that are working and provide additional skills to help with healthy coping while providing opportunities to work through current and past life stressors in a non-biased or judgmental way. Focusing on these strategies consistently helps people start feeling better and less stressed. My goal is for you to find how therapy can help you feel better, with the added support and sense of not needing to do your journey all on your own.

Hi, I’m so glad you’re here! It takes such courage to take that step into vulnerability and begin to work toward change and growth. To explore pain points and be vulnerable with others can be challenging, but so rewarding. My passion is to partner with those I work with to help them heal from trauma, renew their joy for life, find their authentic selves, and reach their goals in health and wellness. My approach is non-judgmental, open-minded, and focused on instilling hope and confidence. I believe in acceptance, embracing small changes, and taking things one day at a time.

I believe that growth and change is a necessary process for individuals, relationships and family systems. My role as a therapist for the past 23 years has been to provide a catalyst for this change process. I use techniques that are evidence based, current and provide consistent results.

As soft-bellied mammals, we're all vulnerable in the world and in relationships. We often receive the message that if we're just tough or smart enough, we should be fine. I've learned that the toughest, smartest, and most resilient people struggle and there are always good reasons. I help people find ways to create more security in their relationships by understanding where attachment instincts may be tangled up with survival instincts that make efforts to connect feel confusing and painful. Using Emotionally Focused Therapy and Somatic Experiencing, I help you feel better in your relationships with yourself, others, and your past.

Our work together will focus on behavioral change and increasing psychological flexibility toward the development of vitality and functioning in all personally meaningful areas of one’s life. I have come to believe that the quality of one’s life is directly related to the quality of one’s relationships and that self-awareness and development of our most authentic selves is the pathway to developing the best of both.

Life can get hard, unpredictable and messy sometimes, especially over the last couple of years! Feeling lost and confused, is part of having a human experience. It's ok not to have all the answers right now, and it's even ok if you've stumbled and fallen. Nobody does this "life thing" perfectly. Maybe, you are considering changing some part of yourself or your life. Great for you!!! It takes a lot of courage to get to that place. Asking for guidance or help is a huge step and it's healthy!
