Therapists in Great Falls, MT

Grief and sadness in life has multiplied since the Covide-19 outbreak. You are not alone. Let's Talk. Call me and we can meet.

Which path you choose will either allow you to experience peace and contentment or leave you feeling so overwhelmed as you struggle with feelings of frustration, doubt, anger, sadness, anxiety, shame, guilt, fear, or hopelessness. You are not broken, in need of fixing. Instead, you are deeply hurt and in need of care. Identifying some of these emotions may make you unsure what to do next. Rest assured, you are not alone. Many have felt the same but have found more efficient ways to heal through seeking help in the search for the cause.

Have you been struggling with OCD, ongoing anxiety, phobias, or trauma symptoms that have become a barrier to connection and success? I love to work with those who experience anxiety, OCD, and trauma and strive to provide therapeutic support to get you where you want to be. I am currently only accepting telehealth clients.

I am a retired Navy Veteran, that was born and raised right here in Great Falls MT. I work with all clients over the age of 18. My passion is helping my clients to find a solution for their mental health and addiction problems.

In therapy I hope to build a safe, trusting relationship that can help guide you to find your way through the difficulties and transitions that life has to offer. I believe we are all capable of becoming more self aware and, although healing can take time and work, that we are all able to heal from trauma and difficult experiences that shape us. The most content people are those who keep growing and learning!

Welcome to Big Sky Counseling, a compassionate space to move toward healing. Our primary areas of focus include OCD and related Anxiety Disorders (see below for details on expanded areas of support we offer) . We approach treatment by integrating structured ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), and CBT/ICBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) to disrupt the obsessive-compulsive cycle and return to values-based living. We are currently scheduling new telehealth clients for folks residing in MT with Ashley Schwartzman, PCLC, under the clinical supervision of Kelli Smith, LCPC.

I am so glad you are here! This moment of seeking help is an incredibly brave step in healing. I believe there is healing for one’s relationship with their body and food. You are more than the number on a scale or jean size. I understand the grip an eating disorder can have on your body, heart, soul, and mind, especially when you are wrestling with other mental health struggles. Together, we can navigate the ins and outs of taking the next steps to healing.

Life has challenges for everyone. Whether you are an individual trying to find direction for your life, relationships, career, or a couple who has found themselves on opposite ends of the couch or compromise, or are a family who is trying to adjust to changes in the family or ongoing challenges. It takes strength and bravery to ask for help; to sit in vulnerability and worry about judgement, acknowledge the shame and guilt, and fear it could only get worse.

You have taken the first step toward achieving your wellness goals, and I am so happy for you! Therapy can seem intimidating at first, but with my help, you can be on your way to living your best life quickly. I have been a licensed therapist for 25 years, and specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, and chronic health issues such as fibromyalgia. Because I hold a certification in Integrative Medicine, I can help you improve all aspects of wellness: social, spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional health. I work with compassion and nonjudgement, and I look forward exploring your journey with you!

I've been a practicing counselor for over 17 years. I received my bachelor's degree in Sociology from California State University Fullerton, my master's degree from Montana State University in Marriage and Family Therapy, and my PhD from The University of Montana in Counselor Education and Supervision. I am a 23-year member of the Montana Air National Guard. I specialize in the military/veteran community, first responders, EMDR, Internal Family Systems (IFS), trauma, dissociative disorders, psychosomatic disorders, insomnia/sleep disorders, narcissistic abuse recovery, and spiritual abuse/high control group/cult recovery.

Your life was great. You were successful. You were "going places." Never did you expect to be dealing with chronic pain! Before this happened, you couldn't have imagined how much it affects every aspect of your life. It affects how you think. It steals your patience. It makes you moody. Making life a struggle all around. Your family wants to provide assistance but they just don't understand what you are going through. Frustration and fear add to your struggles as you worry if you will be in pain forever, if you will be able to continue working, and if you will be dependent on others.

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.

Do you feel overwhelmed or stuck with a life change, loss or trauma? Are you desiring change and fearing it at the same time? When we go through life changes, loss or trauma we can get turned around and have a hard time finding our ground again. Sometimes we lose touch gradually, over years of not being seen or heard. Not feeling safe enough to speak our truth or be who we really are. This can show up as depression, anxiety, or feeling stuck and unable to trust ourselves. Sometimes it’s just a feeling of emptiness on the inside, even though things look good on the outside.

Every person, regardless of what they have been through or where they come from, has the capacity to heal. This is the core belief that drives my work with clients. If you choose to work with me, I will provide a compassionate and non-judgmental environment where you can start to grow, change, and find peace. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have experience working with clients facing trauma, attachment concerns, anxiety, panic attacks, depression, parenting issues, chronic illness, infertility, pregnancy loss, prenatal and postpartum struggles, and stage of life changes.

I am a licensed clinical social worker in the state of Texas and Montana. I’ve been practicing in hospitals, inpatient and outpatient clinics, military mental health clinics and private practice in the community. I have experience working with those coping with depression, anxiety, grief/loss, and trauma. I have experience working with individuals, both adults and adolescents, couples, groups and the military/veteran population. I primarily utilize cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic and interpersonal approaches in treatment. I am client-centered, which allows my clients to take a more active role in our sessions.

You struggle with life’s stress. Striving to meet expectations is making you anxious, which can affect your health and even your motivation. As anxiety increases, you find yourself shutting down inside, creating walls in your relationships, managing through unhealthy activities, avoiding stressful situations or people.

Best combination includes a client motivated to make realistic changes. Open to the idea we are not "stuck!" He/she/they are ready to try new strategies or perspectives to alter their day, week and manage stresses with more confidence. The client ready to be candid and find a therapist with smarts, practical, insightful skills and compassion. "A new view" fits the goals for a person who can be a therapy "team member!"
