Female Therapists in Dawson County, MT

My counseling practice focuses on serving children, adults, and couples or families. In working with children, I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-Trauma Focused for children. I also work with adults in issues of anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. In my practice I provide counseling, therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and psychoanalysis. My treatment approach allows for the effective engagement of a wide range of conditions, including but not limited to personality issues, depression, bi-polar, psychotic states, autistic spectrum, and trauma (PTSD).

I hold an AS in Christian Ministry, a BS in Psychology with a Christian Counseling Specialization & an MA in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have a private Christian counseling practice. I am a member of the American Association of Christian Counselors. I see Christian counseling as a process where life issues are addressed holistically using a biopsychosocial-spiritual approach using a biblical worldview. This approach is one where Scripture and its principles are used as a guiding and foundational factor integrated within psychological treatment. However, I will not use a biblical approach with any counselee without prior consent.

The specific type of counseling and therapy I provide will be based on your individual needs. I am a holistic therapist and subscribe to my Native American Forefather's belief that all things are connected. I work with adults, children, and families to assist them in bringing their lives into harmony. I frequently use cognitive/behavioral, play therapy, EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitizing and Reprocessing). I specialize in crisis intervention, multi-cultural topics, lifestyle issues, Pathological gambling treatment, HIV/AIDS, debriefing, and attachment. I have worked extensively with people experiencing grief, loss, trauma, anxiety/panic disorders, and depression.

Are you stressed and feel out of balance? Do you experience anxiety and negative thoughts? You may have been affected by a crisis, divorce or co-parenting stress, be hurting after the death of a loved one or live with bullying. Workplace demands and emergencies, childhood trauma or domestic violence results in PTSD. TBI (traumatic brain injury) can result from sports or accidents so it's important to identify/address symptoms. Chronic stress changes the brain, often people feel depressed and don't know where to turn for help. These issues affect employment, home life, and decision-making abilities like impulse buying or gambling.

As a person and as a therapist, I understand how difficult it can be to verbally express the internal hurts and struggles one experiences in life. Whether you are seeking therapy because you are feeling stuck and want help moving forward after past traumas, are searching for greater self-understanding and self-worth, hoping to build or support healthy relationships, need addiction recovery support, or are looking for help with daily stressors, anxiety, or depression, I honor the courage it takes to seek help and I offer a safe and nonjudgemental space to begin your healing process.

Thanks so much for checking out my page. I’m so glad you’re here! I believe the heart of counseling is the healing quality we find within our relationship with others. Through relationships, we experience catharsis, safe exploration of troubles, growth, and transformation into who we are meant to be. I am excited to assist clients in moving from being stuck in old patterns to walking in newfound freedom.

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.
