My name is Austin (He/Him) and I have been practicing for over 4 years in my beloved community of Missoula, Montana. I have a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Montana. My non-clinical background is rooted in wilderness expedition guiding for transitional-aged youth and adults across the West. The love I have for the outdoors, and its intertwined community, has shaped and rooted me here for the last 15 years and has informed my practice and approach to counseling.
I strive to foster a safe environment for all identities to bring all their true selves to therapy. My therapeutic approach is strongly rooted in Person Centered Therapy, informed by CBT and Inspired by Mindfulness modalities. As such, we’ll take an integrative approach to the therapeutic process – and I’m excited to cater to whatever styles best fit yours. I have an extensive background working with adults and transitional-aged youth navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, anger management, interpersonal conflicts, work stress, and substance use, in a multitude of settings.
Creating positive shifts in life is one of the hardest and most worthwhile endeavors we can explore with our time. I am honored to provide a supportive space for my clients while fostering a therapeutic relationship and utilizing evidence-based techniques along the way. Together, we will cultivate and expand your inherit strengths on your journey towards change. I look forward to working with you.
