In Person Therapists in Sheridan, MT

Hello! I am Kevin Shon, owner of Summits Beyond Counseling, PLLC. Are you experiencing mental health challenge in life that is getting in the way? Are you less connected to joy, or a sense of "normal" on a day to day basis? Are you seeking to get unstuck, or work through a significant emotional challenge in life right now? I am known for supporting clients in their exploration of reconnection to themselves. I currently offer in-person and telehealth therapy sessions in Montana. My practice is located on the downtown Helena walking mall, next/above to the Parrot Confectionary.

Hello! My name is Sandy and I am a pre-licensed counselor working in a private practice setting with a wide array of clients. I have specialized training with families, couples, and adolescents, yet I am passionate about working with anyone who is seeking support and transformation. Life's challenges come in all sorts of forms and I strive to provide a safe and judgement-free space to help you navigate them. I invest in my clients and work to support their healing by connecting to who they really are beneath the struggles so they can live happier and more connected lives. I believe we are all wired for connection and also to heal.

I’ve been in the mental health field for over 25 years and take a relational approach considering the individual, environment, life experiences, personality, needs and strengths of each person. I enjoy supporting adults, children and families improve communication skills, self awareness, acceptance, and learn adaptive ways to regulate/ manage emotions and behaviors. We will work together to increase insight and awareness and you or your child's overall functioning, and reduce problematic symptoms/behaviors. My clients have expressed feeling safe and accepted and often share appreciating the depth of our work together.

I work with a variety of life issues, from trauma and grief to depression, anxiety and everyday stressors in between. My hope for our work together is to help my clients develop a deeper sense of knowing and trusting themselves. I strive to provide a space to explore how and where a person may feel stuck in order to move forward with a better sense of awareness and a greater level of compassion. I believe when self-awareness grows, we are able to show up differently in our relationships, desires, and lives. I also believe change is possible when we have a trusting therapist/client relationship to build off.

I believe the heart of therapy is an authentic and trusting relationship. I have a down-to-earth and gentle nature and am known for my humor, warmth, curiosity, and compassion. I believe all people have the spirit and wisdom to become the best version of their self and I work collaboratively with clients to help explore what may be getting in the way of their natural healing capacity. I work well with adults struggling with depression, anger, stress, anxiety, trauma, relationships issues, drug and alcohol concerns, and self-esteem issues.

Our systems – from our own bodies to the family and societal systems of which we are a part – are incredibly resourceful and complex. They carry templates and memories of past emboided and inter-generational experiences. And while our systems are adaptive and responsive, sometimes their best attempts at solving life’s challenges fall flat. In some cases, particularly where there has been acute or developmental trauma, old templates provoke pernicious repetitions – such as immobility in behaviors/relationships, or replacement of one unhelpful behavior/relationship for another equally unsatisfactory one.

As a therapist deeply committed to supporting both individuals and couples, I am driven by a passion for helping people navigate the complexities of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, and trauma. I understand that these struggles can deeply affect not only your own well-being but also the health of your relationships. In my practice, I prioritize creating a safe, nurturing environment where you and your partner can explore your emotional landscapes with vulnerability and authenticity. I believe that every relationship has the potential to heal and grow, even in the face of significant challenges.

My role as a therapist is to work in a deep and supportive manner. I strive to foster a compassionate and safe space for you to explore who you are, your patterns, creative aspects, and past traumas. Working through an integrative approach I weave depth psychology and mindfulness together to foster a sense of compassion and curiosity in who we are that encourages self-expression and healing.

Hello! My name is Heidi McKinley and I am a licensed clinical professional counselor and counselor educator and supervisor. I am passionate about counseling and truly enjoy working with clients who desire change in their lives but may feel scared, ambivalent, stuck or confused. Every person, couple, and family has a unique story with varied experiences and struggles. I value human connection and relationship and believe there so much power in each that can help facilitate that desired change.

Starting counseling can be likened to setting off into the woods, unsure where the path leads but hoping to find clarity in the journey. The right counselor can help you navigate the brambles and find the path again when you lose your way. I enjoy working with adults and young adults who are struggling on their path, whether from depression, trauma, loneliness, or simply the weight of life. I specialize in helping folks who are self-critical or perfectionistic find freedom from their harsh inner voices. One of the hardest things to do in our society is care for ourselves, but I truly believe we can get there together.

What does it mean to hold space for someone else? As a clinically trained social worker my goal is to provide a space for you that is safe, supportive and free from judgment. I help my clients explore identify sources of stress with a goal of improving their well-being, self awareness and coping skills. I enjoy working with people who are seeking to heal from traumatic life experiences, those who are working through grief and chronic stress, and those who are experiencing depression and anxiety. I have been practicing as a generalist social worker in the Helena community for 10 years.

Sometimes life gets complicated and our "go-to" fixes don't work as well. Sometimes we struggle with overwhelming emotions or maintaining successful relationships. Perhaps it's a new problem you're experiencing and you want to learn more about it. Or maybe it's even a probation officer requiring you to do it. Whatever the issue is new or old, finding a therapist is a courageous step to take! I'd be happy to offer you a free phone consultation to help you in finding the right fit.

My passion is teaching specific tools to help people heal from the distress of current, past, or multi-generational trauma and any related addictions. I can provide an atmosphere of safety and compassion to assist in expressing, understanding and healing the pain and shame of trauma and addictions; thereby transforming the legacy of pain into a legacy of healing. As a proponent of social justice and anti-racism, I also promote understanding of how we are shaped by community and community is shaped by us through the intersectionality of race, gender, class, and sexuality.

We are all wired for relationships and we long to connect with the people we love. Our relationships with those around us affect the way we think and feel about ourselves and our world. Eventually, we develop habitual patterns of thinking that influence our emotions, behaviors, and even our physical experience. Sometimes, these patterns become problematic, cause us distress, and keep us from reaching our goals.

I am a compassionate, down to earth person offering therapy to individuals. It is my belief that healing comes from within you, and within the context of a relationship. I specialize in working with the effects of trauma on people's lives, including PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, loss, relational troubles. I practice using Somatic Experiencing and EMDR to help clients find calmness, wholeness, emotional resilience, and renewed connection to themselves, and to people in their lives.

I work with children, adolescents and adults with a curiosity about how we can live more connected and meaningful lives. Often the ways we have learned to adapt to our world (or world view) is no longer effective or relevant. I seek to help create deeper awareness and insight into underlying motives, defenses, and desires. Together we explore patterns that contribute to struggles and dissonance in day to day life.
