In Person Therapists in Lewis And Clark, Missoula, MT

It all begins with a question. Often clients consider therapy in the midst of challenging circumstances unfolding in their life - confused, bewildered - seeking a reassuring presence to walk alongside them. I offer a warm, engaging presence to help you sift, sort and begin making sense of the emotional terrain you are walking. Together, we will gently explore questions such as "given this experience, who am I now?" I believe we each possess a sacred landscape within - with gifts, hopes, dreams, and strengths beneath the surface - not lost, but often covered by the grit of storms that sometimes move through our lives.

We all deserve the opportunity to come home to ourselves. My hope is to provide individuals of all ages with a space to safely explore their inner world. I believe that we all have the capacity for change and that our ability is stronger when we connect with others.

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.

I hope to reach and work with people of any ages. I know competition and the forces that push people to be their best and I can offer a respite and space to be comfortable with yourself and to find out your motivations, goals and how to reach them. Depression, Anxiety and anger management are areas where I excel. I can help you find reason, cause and solutions so that you may live your best life. I employ Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing and CBT techniques to support my clients ability to implement change and improve their lives. I am currently accepting new clients, online or in person sessions.

I am excited to come alongside and support individuals, couples and families on their journey to build their best selves. I have been fueled by a lifelong passion for creating and delivering resources to individuals and families in need, specifically in the areas of understanding the dynamics of healthy relationships, childhood development, resiliency, and trauma. I strive to create an atmosphere of safety and empathy, which facilitates healthy self-perception, dialogue, and healing from traumatic experiences.

Together, we can work to challenge negative self-beliefs and unhealthy behaviors to create real change in your life that can lead you towards wholeness. I am willing to figure out what works for you, and go at a pace that feels most comfortable while offering gentle insight to provide hope and healing. As a clinician I work to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows you to show up as your truest self. I encourage you to connect with your past traumas and experiences that have made you who you are, and together we work to reframe thoughts and ideas that are prohibiting healing.

I believe each person has the ability to become aware, reflect, adapt, grow, and heal. I am here to walk along with you and discover your most authentic self. Through a genuine and trusting relationship, clients can feel safe to explore and enhance their quality of life. I offer compassion and tools to aid in your journey. My experience has been working with a wide age range, from adolescents to ages 60+. Specifically, I have experience working with domestic violence, sexual assault, homelessness, career change, anxiety, stress, depression, suicidal ideation, PTSD, Bipolar I, Bipolar II, among others. Let's persevere together.

We are all inherently worthy, resilient, and hard-wired to be connected to others; we also inevitably face suffering in life which can create barriers to these aspects of ourselves. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my mission is to work alongside you - to be present, deeply listen, and assist you in coming back to the core parts of who you are; to help you transform your suffering into contentment and wholeness. I will be present for whatever you bring to our therapy space and support you in harnessing your power to create the change you want to see in your life.

I am driven to work with individuals to reach their goals. I am passionate in finding a path to reach a goal, be it the easy or hard route, I am along for the ride. I have extensive history in working with families and children, who have faced an array of challenges, such as divorces, transitions to college, guardianship changes, and behavioral issues. I also have worked closely with LGBTQ+ teens and adults, creating groups to increase social connections, fighting for rights in school and political realms, and exploring sense of identity.

Becca meets every client where they are and believes in going at the pace of her client's needs. She believes that building a relationship is what allows a therapeutic relationship to flourish and be successful. She believes the client is the expert of their own life, and progress can only be made when the client is ready. By offering a friendly and welcoming atmosphere, she feels everyone can be successful and make positive changes in their lives with the proper support, and to increase their quality of life.

I offer a strengths-based practice aimed at providing services to adolescents, adults & families in the scope of addiction, trauma, disordered eating, behavioral health, reproductive health/infertility & life transitions. I utilized a mixed approach to therapy centered around self-compassion, motivational enhancement, cognitive behavioral therapy, communication skills, and mind/body connection. Other methodology is applied as appropriate. My goal is to meet Client's where they are in their therapeutic process, encourage them to be an active participant in their own care and provide usable skills to be used outside of therapy.

If you struggle with mental health related issues, family and/or relationship difficulties, unresolved trauma or interpersonal challenges, I am here to help. I enjoy working with clients who are invested in making changes to help improve their lives. I am experienced working with clients with anxiety, mood disorders, interpersonal and relational dynamics, as well as helping those struggling with day to day struggles. If your goal is to be a better parent, a better partner, improve your family relationships, develop better self awareness and/or understand the underlying mental health issues that impact your life, please contact me.

It's no secret that life is full of obstacles and hardships, notably so with all of the changes we have experienced in our lives these last few years. I am proud to offer individual, couples, and family talk-therapy; with both in-person and virtual appointments available for residents of WA and MT. My mission is to connect with clients in a way that highlights their strengths whilst respecting the dignity and worth of the person. I believe in the autonomy of all individuals to make their own decisions, striving toward the client-centered model. Let's find our common ground, set your goals, and work to grow in a positive direction.

I practice a relational form of counseling, which means I weigh heavily on how and why our relationships develop while taking into consideration the mental, physical and emotional associations we draw or conclude from these relationships. The relationship between therapist and client, the relationships you have had over the course of your life, issues and/or concepts you have faced or struggled with, and, most importantly, the relationship you have with yourself are all focal points for counseling. Trust and building rapport with your therapist is paramount and I work to cultivate an environment that promotes respect and self-exploration.

I have 9 years of experience in the mental health field. My career has encompassed working with diverse populations, including adolescents, adults, and families. My expertise includes direct clinical work, counseling, and case management. My extensive background reflects a robust commitment to enhancing mental health and supporting individuals through their personal journeys.

Since 2010, my intention in working with my clients has been to hold a safe and confidential space that supports self-exploration and awareness, connection, curiosity, and personal growth. I understand that seeking out and accepting help can be uncomfortable and that it takes bravery to be vulnerable, and vice versa. I focus on building secure and trusting therapeutic alliances with the people I get to work with to create a personalized approach to their unique needs and goals. I believe that we are each the experts in our own lives and that the catalyst of change and healing comes from our relationship with ourselves and others.

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.
