Therapists in Montana
Hi my name is Lida Running Crane and I have recently transitioned to private practice after being a clinician at a local agency working primarily with our local urban Indigenous community for just short of nine years. I subsequently co-founded Aitapissko Counseling Collective LLC, the shared professional home in which my colleagues and I continue to offer quality mental health and addiction counseling to our local community. I earned my masters in counseling from the University of Montana in 2016 with my NCC, became an LCPC in 2018, and an LAC in 2020.

I truly enjoy getting to know my clients and supporting them along life's journey. I strive to always provide a safe, honest, kind, and non-judgmental space. A space where individuals and families can identify their needs, feelings, hopes, and aspirations. It is a magical feeling to watch people find their voice, grow, and reach their goals! Treatment will always be tailored to focus on the strengths and needs of each client. Together, we will explore and utilize evidenced-based interventions that will help you develop communication skills, a sense of self, and healthy relationships.

Amidst the myriad of therapeutic options, I offer a down-to-earth and honest approach. I understand that life's challenges can be complex, and my goal is to provide guidance in a straightforward manner.

I view therapy as an interpersonal laboratory, a way of working with thoughts, emotions and relationships. I welcome clients who seek the support and safety of a client centered environment who may be experiencing a huge life event/change or trauma and are seeking a more meaningful, authentic and valued life.

My concern is to help address the suffering people endure due to the current conflict in their lives as well as any past trauma. Suffering comes in many forms and can be understood as symptoms that negatively affect one's relationships, health, career, personal development and emotional life. I work with individuals to alleviate these difficulties and to deepen an understanding of the root causes in order to ensure ongoing personal satisfaction. This kind of treatment is designed to help identify and redirect conflicts in a person's life which are destructive or prohibit growth, and to liberate positive personal attributes from atrophy and inhibition.

If you're looking for a safe and supportive environment to work through challenges and heal from trauma, you're in the right place. During the last 10+ years of providing therapy in Missoula I have worked with adults, children and families. I'm passionate about helping clients process their current or past struggles. I have helped birth, foster and adoptive families who are parenting children with diverse needs or challenging behaviors.

Imagine living your best life! We all face challenges and difficulties in life. For some it is trauma, others experience chronic health issues, not to mention day-to-day stressors of society's unrealistic demands and expectations. No one goes through life without experiencing the struggle. Our time together is spent exploring what is in the gap between where you are and where you desire and hope to be. I guide individuals through the process to gain insight into what holds them back from realizing their goals.

Connecting with a trained therapist is not only helpful and comforting it's often necessary. By offering a warm, respectful, and non-judgmental environment, I offer support and guide my clients through their unique experiences in order to achieve a state of mind beyond the pain and difficulty.Contact me If you're looking for support and guidance through life's challenges or simply seeking to improve the quality of your life.

Have you experienced adverse life events that have impacted your ability to move forward? Most people experience distress in their lifetime. This distress can often be overwhelming, trigger dysfunction, and impair relationships. When humans are psychologically wounded, we need empathetic, compassionate, and genuine healing. My practice works with survivors of traumatic experiences or adversity. I am also passionate about providing trauma informed care to first responders, law enforcement, medical professionals, mental health professionals, and military members and their families.

Human development is a lifelong process, where each moment of life, every human being is in a state of personal evolution. By taking consideration of the bio-psycho-social, spiritual, and cultural factors that shape us, clients provide a unique perspective into their identity, as well as finding their place in the world. When events in life cause feelings of anxiety, extreme sadness, feeling stuck, or overwhelm it may become necessary to retrace, or reprocess these moments to develop resolution.

Counseling is my second career. I have always been in a helping profession and my journey to becoming a clinician began as a teacher. Helping others has always been a passion of mine whether it was in the classroom or in a counseling office. In every client that I have ever had the privilege to be a part of their journey, it has always been my sincere hope that I could at least plant a seed of hope and inspiration. I see clients with various issues. I focus on teen and women issues but do see individuals for many other issues, such as trauma and depression.

**ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** Greetings and a warm welcome! I work with adults, older adults, and couples to help navigate the complex human experience. I treat a variety of mental health needs, including anxiety, depression, life transitions, or simply feelings of being "stuck". I have helped many people develop a greater understanding of themselves individually and in their relationship to others. Through therapy together we can “untangle” the knots of thoughts and feelings so that you may work through emotional, psychological and/or spiritual issues to feel happier and healthier.

I have been trained in EMDR, Solution Focused, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Relational and Developmental approaches.
Please note: I do not have openings for new clients. I work with adults who are struggling with day to day stresses, life transitions or survivors of trauma. I have worked within the fields of trauma and mental health for over 20 years. I believe the foundation of belonging, sense of well-being and change is grounded in relationships, how we interact and how we are supported by others. Whether you are struggling with feelings of depression, anxiety, family conflict or past experience with trauma, I view my role as someone who is neutral and a facilitator of the process in which self-worth is strengthened and persons supported.

I approach each client with the careful unpacking of present distress—whether symptoms arise from an unexpected crisis or loss, a difficult transition, or erosion due to long-term suffering. I form strong relationships with clients to explore these present concerns while integrating the past and building insight. Many of my clients seek support in navigating difficult emotions; reworking frustrating patterns; strengthening relationships; facing places of tension; and finding greater satisfaction in their lives.
