Trying to navigate life today is challenging. Having someone to talk to may be the first step. Thank you for taking time to read this. My name is Vasa Parsons-Mecham, and I am part of the Missoula community. Wearing a variety of hats, I have worked with individuals and families for the past 30+ years. I draw on a variety of methods that include sensorimotor psychotherapy (somatic work), collaboration, cognitive behavior therapy, and strengths based. Therapy, like life, is not a one size fits all. By taking the time to listen to you, I can better hear and assess.

Hi! I'm a licensed Clinical Psychologist based out of Montana with licenses in Florida and Montana.

I teach women (and men) :) who want to learn how to build a balanced healthy lifestyle. I work with clients who have chronic pain, chronic health conditions, body image issues, self-esteem issues, and more.

My goal as a counselor is for you to feel comfortable to work through life’s difficulties, no matter how big or small, in a safe environment. Through this process, you can gain new insight and start to change the behavioral patterns that no longer serve you. Though therapy can be difficult, I also believe it has the potential to be wildly rewarding, healing and even fun.

Life is difficult to navigate in the best of circumstances. We often carry with us a past that influences how we interact with others, our perception of the way others interact with us, and the patterns we form in our relationships. You do not have to navigate these waters alone. Therapy can help support your individual, family and relationship goals. I understand it takes courage to ask for help and I want to make the process easy for you.

This journey through life can be difficult and we are all doing it for the first time. Changes in relationships, job, and living situation are enough to warrant large amounts of stress. Compound this with other traumatic events and things can become difficult to handle. As a therapist I can offer a unique stance as a person who is a neutral party in your life with no preconceived notions of you. This gives you the opportunity not only to meet with a trained professional but to have an unbiased and empathetic listener. Let's work together to build on skills and identify what it is you want out of therapy.

I work from a strength based approach believing that each individual and family is resilient and has the ability to reach for their potential and healing. I believe counseling is an opportunity to better define your desires for self, values, beliefs, goals and ultimately move towards the healthiest version of you. I work with youth, teens and adults with depression/anxiety/trauma & grief and find that as you increase your ability to manage and integrate these experiences into daily living, healing happens.

If you are a human being who is struggling with "human stuff" I might be the therapist for you. I have been practicing for over 15 years and I am very interested in finding solutions that work for my patients as opposed to a "one size fits all approach". I have a strong background treating depression, anxiety, complex traumas, neuro-diverse individuals, and folks struggling with substance use disorders.

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.

You're late, again! Scrambling to try and get out the door you wonder why you just can't "be normal" like everyone else. You speed to work cursing at every red light and car that's in your path. "Why am I like this?!" Feelings of shame, anger, and frustration rush through your body. You long to feel different, to be able to do the seemingly simple tasks everyone can do without effort, without procrastinating. But you can't, or at least that is how it feels. Everyone tells you to makes lists, keep a schedule, set alarms...but you've tried all that and none of it works. You start to believe there just must be something wrong with you.

You are deserving of the time and space it takes to heal and grow. Many of us find ourselves 'surviving' rather than 'living' at times; mindlessly wandering day-to-day questioning our purpose, wondering where the passion has gone. Whether it’s due to a major life adjustment, depression, anxiety, grief, or simply feeling stuck. If you are navigating a difficult moment or a recent challenge, know that you can expect a safe, confidential environment to explore your thoughts and emotions. Together, we can work toward finding your path to healing and renewal.

Hi. I’m so glad you’re here. You’ve taken a crucial and courageous step towards healing. If you are new to therapy, I know it can feel awkward and maybe even intimidating. It’s okay. Together we will take it one step at a time. It will be challenging at times, but I will be here to support and guide you along the way. And, it will also be interesting and fun as you discover more about yourself and develop new skills.

It is not unusual to have times in our lives that feel challenging, confusing, or chaotic. When we meet life struggles, it is essential to feel safe and supported. If you are seeking a neutral, nonjudgmental space to explore your distress, we can work together to develop the insight and skills that will support who you are and who you want to be. I am particularly experienced at working with adults who are processing grief and loss. The grieving experience is universal, yet every loss is unique, grieved in its own way and in its own time. It can be helpful to have compassionate companionship and an experienced guide on that journey.

Couples, families, and individuals get stuck in patterns that disrupt the pursuit of connection and belonging. Building relationships with self and gaining insight into healing processes within us, leads to healing and increased ability engage in life. A safe, respectful, confidential setting improves the therapeutic relationship and leads to a more holistic approach to health and wellness. Substance use, behaviors, secrets, and many other traits contribute to one's inability to connect with others. Specializing in Substance use disorders and families, we can walk through the process with the entire family.

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.
