You may live with an inner critic that is constantly pointing out your insecurities and shortcomings. This persistent negative self-talk and self-judgement may cause you to feel shame and doubt about yourself and lead you, at times, to either avoid situations and people, or push yourself too hard to prove your personal worth. Sitting with someone and sharing your innermost thoughts and insecurities isn't always easy and takes vulnerability and courage. Yet, when you give voice to these negative ...
Hi, I'm Jana Wagner, a therapist based in Bozeman, MT. I attended MSU and later worked on campus in the counseling center as a post-Masters degree intern. I highly enjoy working with college students and young adults, as I understand what a difficult and confusing time this can be for so many people. Transitioning from high school, living at home, etc. to the university setting can be incredibly challenging, but also a huge opportunity for growth. I have helped students reduce stress, learn ...
Exploring tensions, suffering, or stuckness you may be experiencing takes courage. I honor and celebrate the opportunity to witness each individual’s process and show up as their collaborator. Humans are wired to be in connection and community, and it is through relationship that we can experience safety, growth, and empowerment. I enter the counseling relationship with curiosity and nonjudgement. What are your values and how do they inform your perspective? What are your stories and meaning-...

My goal as a counselor is to help you feel comfortable to face life's challenges, no matter the circumstances. Therapy can feel like a leap of faith, and I'm here to help create safety.

It’s cliche but true that life is a journey. One in which we can hopefully take our time to explore different paths, feel connected in relationships, and find balance in the everyday. Yet just like wandering in our natural world, this journey can be full of twists and turns, brambles, steep ascents, and slippery descents. At times, you may feel alone, stuck, exhausted, or simply too overwhelmed to want to keep moving. In these situations, therapy can help. In particular, I view therapy as a ...

Sometimes overwhelming emotions and unhelpful thoughts interfere with our lives and cause significant distress. I created my practice to help people "be okay when things are not okay." This is done using a person-centered dialectical-behavior therapy (DBT) approach to help you gain insight into yourself wh...
