Elders (65+) Therapists in Polson, MT

As a trauma therapist, I have worked with survivors of all types. Many of my clients are social workers, caregivers, therapists, counselors, parents, and helpers themselves. I have extensive training in Attachment Therapy and Narrative Therapy. My two dogs are usually in session with me. They are older and will leave you with "puppy glitter" (dog hair) on your clothing. I have a lint roller for such occasions. I've been a therapist a long time and if you're going through something and would like support, I understand and am here to help and support you as you work through whats happening and how to make your life juicy again.

Hi I'm Erika, I became a therapist because I love people. I enjoy talking to and listening to others.

Welcome to Mindflow Therapeutics. What do you value most in your life? Family? Friendships? Peace? Sobriety? Your job or career? Health? Quiet of mind? A good nights sleep? Emotional and mental challenges often interfere with what we value most in life. Often it is trauma, shame, anger, abuse and emotional pain that can keep a person in an unhealthy place, repeating negative behaviors, being easily triggered, and sabotaging progress towards a better self. My treatment approach is straight forward and holistic. It is grounded in identifying your values, what is hindering relationships with these value, and creating a working plan

My goals are to help you as you navigate the changes in life, work on decreasing anxieties in your life and improving your quality of life. I offer solution focused client centered therapy to meet you where you are and walk together towards your goals. I look forward to working with you on this journey.

In life we encounter experiences that conceal our potential to flourish or succeed and this can make us feel stuck or helpless in a sense of suffering, struggling to get by. These blocks can come in many forms: traumatic experiences, negative messages we receive, illness, relationship patterns, grief, depression, anxiety, among others. Together we can work to find the root of the issue and find healing. I work to serve as a mirror to my clients, reflecting insights about patterns, internal dialog, and behaviors that are hard to "see".

Currently taking new clients. I work with clients struggling with anxiety, depression, ptsd, and other challenges. My focus has been on ensuring that effective therapy is available for individuals, families, and adolescents from all walks of life. As a white-passing, enrolled member of the Ponca tribe who has spent 8 years in the US Army and identifies as part of the LGBTQ+ community, I understand some of the lived experiences that often leave people feeling misunderstood and disconnected from the people around them, and I understand how to guide you through many ways we can move you toward a healthier, more satisfying life.

Do you feel overwhelmed by recent changes or the everyday stresses of life, parenting or your career? Have you noticed that you find it hard to be present with your loved ones or at work? Have you experienced trauma that may have had an impact on your ability to function regardless of how hard you feel like you are working towards healing. It is my job to walk along side you and facilitate true healing, utilizing your inherent strengths, and building on those to create lasting change in your life.

I believe that life is not so much about the good or bad breaks we get compared to others, but rather our responses to the challenges that virtually everyone faces. These responses add up to the story of our lives. My approach is to help individuals, couples and families to respond to life's challenges in ways that promote health and provide for one's story to move forward in a hopeful and productive way. Depression, anxiety, relational problems and/or trauma are as common as breathing and the good news is that there is hope for everyone.

At one time or another most people feel stuck in unproductive or even damaging ways of thinking, feeling, perceiving and acting/ interacting. Sometimes the causes of the difficulty are hard to see or define. Other times we may understand why we struggle but lack the skills or support needed to make and sustain change.

I believe all individuals have the ability for monumental change and growth within themselves. My role is to provide a safe, supportive, and therapeutic environment that is targeted to meet my client's individual needs and strengths. I have empathy and respect for the individuals that I work with. I believe the relationship that we build provides the paths for working through whatever may be blocking growth.

We have all been through so much these last several years, how can we possibly be expected to navigate all of this on our own? Maybe you're wondering "What's wrong with me?" or "Why can't I just get over it?" and you're exhausted. I want you to know, you are not alone, and you are doing so many things right. You are here looking for support. This is amazing and takes so much courage. And you are ready to feel better and have deeper relationships and feel less alone.

I was a career/volunteer EMT and volunteer Firefighter for 15 years; as such I am particularly interested in working with individuals who are members of our Emergency Services Communities. I have an experience based understanding of the unique issues facing our Fire, Law Enforcement, EMS and other Emergency Service providers.

Often, life challenges us with obstacles to our best health and wellbeing. I believe in offering a safe and comfortable setting for you to develop a plan to move towards your greatest potential and quality wellness. This may include learning new coping skills, having a safe place to reflect and improve communication as well as utilizing clinical interventions to reduce symptoms. My goal is to support you in overcoming issues that prevent a deeper sense of purpose, self-awareness, and joy in your life. Diversity and multiculturalism are at the root of my therapeutic practice.
