I am a special education teacher, school counselor and licensed therapist with 6 years of counseling experience. I love education and the quest for knowledge. I am always looking for new opportunities to learn something new. I have masters degrees in Special Education from the University of Virginia, and School Counseling/Professional Counseling from Montana State University Northern. I have experience working with Bipolar Disorder, HPPD, trauma, depression, grief and anxiety. I attended the Transpersonal Psychology 50th anniversary conference in 2019. I have a person centered belief. I also have an extensive background in Applied Behavior Analysis and Behavioral Therapy. In my therapy practice, I utilize talk therapy and workbook activities. I have an array of up to date workbooks with current researched based theory. I regularly attend conferences and online trainings to further my development as a counselor. I enjoy being in the outdoors and in nature whenever possible. I am happiest when I am on my UTV with my 2 dogs and husband on top of a mountain somewhere in the middle of the wilderness. I am an avid wild crafter and plant identifier. Seeking therapy can be a daunting challenge. I look forward to helping you navigate whatever obstacles in life come your way.

Hello. My name is Cathy Curry and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the beautiful state of Montana. I have been serving individuals, children and families for over 20 years.. I have helped clients improve and resolve a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, family relationship problems including parenting problems, career change, OCD, ADHD and abuse and trauma related conditions. My focus is on improving relationship with self and others because I believe what gets broken in relationship also gets healed in relationship. I have a very warm and compassionate style that is focused on hearing and responding to my clients needs and concerns. I believe that by treating people with respect and dignity that they will come away from the therapy process feeling stronger, more confident and with a greater sense of competency in their lives. I recognize that while the process of exploring what makes people feel overwhelmed and vulnerable can seem daunting, that the process can be filled with moments that lead to relief and a stronger and more stable outlook on life.

Hello! My name is Tonya Carpenter and I am licensed as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) in the state of Montana. I am currently at Aware, and was previously in private practice for six years. I provided counseling services in a hospital clinical setting for three years prior to private practice. I have also worked in the school setting as a behavior intervention specialist for grades 6-12, and worked with adults with disabilities. I received my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Southern California with an emphasis in Military and Veterans Affairs. As a veteran myself, I understand the importance of supporting our service members. I have a fairly direct and up front approach as I would rather ask a question directly than assume things are a certain way. I am able to do this while maintaining a warm, nonjudgmental approach with clients. I believe that no one is "broken" and needs to be "fixed" as I hear so many clients say, but that every person is operating in their environment the best way they know how with the tools they have. I would like to be able to go through the journey with you of creating the best quality of life possible. I am able to help clients with co-occurring disorders, substance use, PTSD, depression, anxiety, Bipolar, child abuse and neglect, communication, anger management, and other diagnosis or life stressors, but have a primary focus in trauma and military affairs. I utilize a client centered, strengths based, solution-focused approach to meet the client where they are. I also utilize evidenced based practices such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and dialectical behavioral therapy. I am certified in EMDR (eye movement desensitization reprocessing), MRT (moral reconation therapy), trauma-focused CBT, and trauma narratives. I will respond to messages within 24 hours Monday through Friday, and will do my best to accommodate you for scheduling live sessions but currently have limited availability in the evenings and some weekends. I look forward to working with you!

Welcome! My passion lies in helping people find their authentic selves and to improve their overall well-being. I work with individuals suffering from depression/mood disorders, anxiety, personality disorders, trauma/abuse (physical, verbal, sexual, and neglect) PTSD, addiction and substance use, self-harming, suicidal ideations, stress, eating disorders, relationship-issues, and grief. I am a national board-certified counselor and a licensed clinical professional counselor in Montana. My education includes a Master of Science degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a concentration in addiction from Walden University. My primary therapy orientation is person-centered, as a therapist should not tell you what to do or try to direct your life. Think of the proverb: "Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach him to fish, and you feed him for life." I will help you learn to solve your own problems, rather than solving them for you. I incorporate some holistic psychotherapy, which fosters wellness by integrating complementary and alternative treatment methods such as, yoga, breathwork, essential oils, and meditation alongside traditional psychotherapy approaches. It has roots in traditional and ancient medicine, as well as non-traditional therapeutic approaches, including energy and spiritual healing. I also use theory and techniques from CBT/TFCBT, DBT, Existential Therapy, Crisis Intervention, Mindfulness, Psychoeducation, and Solution-Focused Therapy among other modalities. Additionally, I am certified in providing Telehealth Therapy (THTC). I look forward to helping you in your journey toward wellness! My practice hours are 9am-2pm (MST) Monday-Thursday. I generally can respond at least once per morning and once per evening, sometimes more! You can also book a live session with me ahead of time. Please remember that BetterHelp is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of support. If you are thinking about suicide or if you are considering harming yourself or others or if you feel that any other person may be in any danger or if you have any medical emergency, you should immediately call the emergency service number (911 in the US and 999 in the UK) and notify the relevant authorities. Seek immediate in-person assistance. This platform is not designed for use in crisis situations and the counselors cannot provide the assistance required in any of the aforementioned cases. If you are having thoughts of harming yourself please reach out to the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline: 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to talk to someone right away, or call, text, or chat 988, to be connected to trained counselors that are part of the existing National Suicide Prevention Lifeline network. UK-Non-emergency: 111, Option 2 24/7 Helpline: 116 Shout: Text "DESERVE" TO 85258 If you are in a situation involving domestic violence or relationship abuse: National Domestic Violence Hotline: 800-799-SAFE (800-799-7233). Call the hotline for crisis intervention and referrals to resources, such as women's shelters. You can also see the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence website at https://ncadv.org/resources to find programs that offer shelter and legal support. Relationship abuse is about one partner having power & control over the other. This can look like physical violence, controlling who someone can talk to, or even what they wear. Understanding the dynamic of power & control can help you ID abuse.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over thirty-five years of experience assisting adults and couples with challenges such as stress, depression, anxiety, self-worth, abuse/trauma, chronic and acute health concerns, grief, loss, end of life issues, and finding connections to spirituality apart from traditional organized religion. I was also a licensed practical nurse years ago and have completed a year of health coaching training. I am passionate about the food/mood connection and its bridge between physical and mental health. I have also taken some graduate level courses in complementary and alternative medicine because I also have a special interest in holistic health and healing. I have a very eclectic approach that draws from multiple modalities. I have a background in traditional psychotherapy, but prefer to come from a "whole person" strength-based approach rather than the traditional "illness-based" approach. I like to use the other senses in addition to "the mind" and might make use of music, art, movement, or even aromatherapy approaches. My approach seeks to offer genuine acceptance of who you are right now, helping you discover who you would like to be, and finding ways with you to make progress toward your goals. Edison said, "I have not failed. I have just found 10,000 ways that do not work." I would appreciate an opportunity to look with you to finding ways that DO work for you. Thank you for looking at my information. If you think we might work well together, please get in touch. If you don't feel a connection to me, there are many other very qualified persons on this site. Don't give up! Keep looking till you find someone that you think you would work well with! Someone is out there in the other profiles that would be a good match for you! I wish you the best, and applaud your courage in being willing to take a look at other options for your life if you are feeling troubled.
