Therapists in Missoula, MT

I am currently accepting new clients! Lately, it seems the intimate spark between you and your partner is dim at best. Connecting positively has been tacked onto the long list of chores to do rather than being part of your relationship that fuels the fire. Maybe you're struggling with conflict, balancing life, knowing each of your needs, or a sex life that feels pleasurable. At best, you find yourself in an unsatisfying status quo. At worst, you find shame, anger, guilt, or sadness fighting over who takes center stage between the two of you. Regardless, you and your partner can no longer find each other in your intimate moments.

**Please note: I am not currently accepting new clients. I have 25 years experience providing psychotherapy for individuals, couples and families who are dealing with issues related to personal/relational growth, trauma, addiction and recovery, depression, anxiety, procrastination and motivation. I provide psychotherapy which is based on principles of mindfulness. I am a graduate of both the Hakomi and Sensorimotor Institutes which trains clinicians in the area of mindfulness based body centered psychotherapy.

Hello! I am a neuro-affirming licensed clinical social worker (candidate) specializing in both parent-child relationships and first responder support. I provide therapy, assessments, advocacy, parent coaching and related services to children, adolescents, adults, parents and families in Missoula and the Bitterroot Valley. I am certified in Trauma Focused- CPT for children, trained in individual and group crisis management through ICISF, couples counseling through the Gottman Institute, and am a Circle of Security and Anger Management Facilitator.

With 25 years of expertise working in the social work field, I am passionate about attachment-based work---whether that's exploring your early childhood experiences to find healing and understanding, or taking your experience of your own attachment history and using it as a lens through which to examine your current relationships with your children or partner. I enjoy focusing on the bonds that develop between parents and children, as well as the relationship we have with ourselves. In helping clients realize that big emotions and behaviors are often indicative of unmet needs, I aim to empower clients to meet those needs.

I have twenty years of experience working with individuals and couples in a psychodynamic approach. My orientation includes attachment theory, schema therapy, psychoanalysis, emotionally focused therapy, and mindfulness. My goal is to help you reduce your emotional suffering, better understand yourself, improve your relationships, and become a happier and more relaxed person.

If you are at a turning point in your life and need a stepping stone, I am here to help you. I can help you walk through the process of completing requirements for a DUI-A.C.T. Your time and resources are valuable and I will make every effort to treat both with respect. You will always be evaluated ethically using only the highest standards set by the American Society of Addiction Medicine Criteria to give you the best level of care you need.

Therapy at its best, is a transformative and deeply meaningful experience. I work with anyone who is called towards better understanding themselves, their behaviors, and their suffering so that they can live a more soulful life. As a trauma-informed therapist, I help clients process emotional and physical pain so that what is stuck within their body can have an opportunity to be released. This process gives clients a chance to become more present and free to live the life they desire. If you'd like to set up an initial session or call, please feel free to send me an email or click on my website.

I've been in private practice since 1999 and have worked primarily in Helena, Great Falls and Missoula. I have worked with thousands of people, helping them make positive, empowering changes in their lives. I offer a welcoming relaxed environment for helping individuals find new resources for self care, and rediscover their own inner strengths. I practice a client-centered, non-directive style of hypnotherapy that easily integrates with a clients own practices of meditation, prayer, self-reflection or mindfulness practice. I currently have an office in Missoula and am also available for telephone sessions.

I recognize that life's challenges can leave deep emotional imprints, and my practice centers on guiding individuals through these internal landscapes with compassion and understanding. I acknowledge that our experiences shape not only our minds but also our bodies and inner selves. Whether you're grappling with anxiety, depression, complex trauma, grief, substance use, parenting issues, relationship difficulties or life transitions, I am here to accompany you on your path towards healing and wholeness.

Do you feel stuck in communicating with your partner, having the same arguments over and over; you can't seem to work through things? I can help you identify that negative pattern, and learn to step out of it and rediscover love and happiness. I do that with couples by looking at the ways that they get stuck or disconnected. Maybe you are also struggling with feeling the need for more comfort or understanding or needing to regain lost trust. What you and I will do is look at what prevents those things from happening right now in your relationship.

Hello and welcome. My name is Elizabeth, I'm licensed therapist in Missoula, Montana. Although it may feel like it at, we are far from alone in our spectrum of struggles. Stress, trauma and past wounding may leave us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. I believe our unique values, beliefs, and cultivated sense of purpose are the roots to connect us to who we are and how we wish to experience life. Taking time to care for ourselves through therapy is a radical act in the world we live in.

I work with adults across diverse topics including: anxiety, depression, burnout, trauma, grief, relationship dynamics, identity exploration, major life transitions, and stress reduction. I am passionate about promoting holistic wellness, addressing burnout, and exploring the intersection of our personal and professional lives.

I work with couples, adults, kids, and families dealing with disruptive events, situations, and behaviors. Some of these situations are typical life transitions: entering adolescence, a new child in the family, school and work conflicts, or life-stage changes. Other transitions are more obviously traumatic: medical crises, chronic illness, infidelity, or the dissolution of long-term relationships. I work with patients that have long-term, debilitating mental illnesses, and patients that have more situational or transitional difficulties. I welcome clients who are struggling with parenting plan issues and post-divorce conflict.

I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, difficulty adjusting to life changes, behavior problems, and low self-esteem. My areas of expertise include addictions, co-occurring disorders, and enhancing motivation for change. I run my client-centered practice to help people identify solutions to the problems they are facing, enhance coping and communication skills, and develop a greater sense of mindful awareness as they move toward the changes they wish to make.

Full, no waitlist, unfortunately. Please check here again, I update this listing when I have openings. I specialize in supporting those who may be creative, intuitive, neurodivergent , or “outside the box” thinkers. Your strengths and interests can be such powerful resources for healing and understanding yourself. Trauma, shame, anxiety, depression, and other challenges can make it really hard to find direction for ourselves, and can impact our relationships.

“Our emotions are an essential part of who we are. They make life worthwhile, exciting, challenging, beautiful and meaningful” - Gabor Mate. Our emotional experience is one that is unique to each of us and can at times be difficult to navigate. For many people, it can bring comfort to have someone hold space for them during this process, and I am happy to be that person. I approach counseling from a more humanistic perspective which includes processes such as Emotion Focused, Person Centered, and Narrative Therapy. This means that your lived experience and our counseling relationship will be the foundation of our work together.

Each of us have deep-seeded value and deserve to be connected to our whole selves. Often, past experiences of trauma and suffering not only impact our beliefs, behaviors, and relationships, but disconnect us from ourselves. Discovering ourselves can be difficult, but it is an essential part of healing. Our capacity for growth and change is possible with understanding and compassion.

I enjoy working with individuals who are on the verge of major life transitions, and supporting them as they find, develop, and come to celebrate their strengths and individual differences. Those transitions can be from adolescent dependence on their parents to young adulthood; the discovery and acceptance of gender and sexual identity; developing coping skills to manage chronic illnesses; and increasing independence and strengths after changes in relationships.
