Therapists for college students near University of Montana

Annie is a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP) practicing in Bozeman, MT. Originally trained at the Dr. Ida Rolf Institute (DIRI) in Boulder, CO, she pursued her understanding of embodiment and presence with clients in her Rolfing practice for 15 years. She then started her training to become a mental health therapist, graduating in 2018, at which point she initiated the Somatic Experiencing training through Somatic Experiencing International. She has now completed the Somatic Experiencing Training but she also studies and utilizes Internal Family Systems therapy and Sensorimotor psychotherapy. Using these modalities, she works with clients who have experienced the mood altering effects of trauma and dissociation, helping them to find greater embodiment and a more continuous experience of self. She prefers to work in-person because she finds the somatic approaches more effective when they are in-person. Core to the mission of her practice is accessibility, and therefore Ann provides medical billing services and is in network with most major private insurances, Montana Medicaid and Tricare/TriWest/VAChamp.

Hi, I'm Kelsie Hunt—founder of Hunting for Hope and a pre-licensed professional counselor based in Bozeman, Montana. I offer both virtual therapy sessions and in-person at my office in Bozeman. My practice operates on a sliding scale basis and I do not accept insurance, please see the Contact and Cost tab on my website www.huntingforhopetherapy.com for an explanation as to why. For those experiencing financial hardship, I’m open to discussing a reduced rate outside of my sliding scale. I’m also the proud wife of an Army veteran—the person who, in many ways, inspired the heart behind this practice. ​ As a Veteran spouse I also know what it is like to witness the depths of depression, loss of identity, fear of sharing your trauma and the stigma towards seeking help. I’m someone who’s walked some tough roads. I’ve survived abusive relationships. I’ve experienced homelessness. I grew up in a conservative Christian community surrounded by addiction. I went back to college in my 30's and have learned that life can start over at various stages. I’ve got a solid toolbox that mixes science, strategy, and gut-level insight. Whether you’re the type who bottles it up, jokes it off, or explodes after holding it in too long—I’ll meet you where you’re at. We can dig into the past, set boundaries that stick, or just figure out how to not feel so on edge all the time. I'm here for the real stuff—no fluff, no judgment. Whether it's anxiety that won’t shut up, shame that sneaks in after a call, relationship stress, or trauma that keeps replaying—I’ve got your back. You don’t have to carry all of this by yourself. We’ll take it one step at a time, maybe even with a laugh or two along the way.

I offer virtual (online) sessions only at this time. Some sessions can be made by appointment if openings are not noted on my calendar - just ask! Sometimes the anxiety and depression that come with life changes, trauma, relationship issues or job stress can be distracting and affect our ability to thrive. When people work through their thoughts and feelings, they often report feeling more clarity and a deeper sense of vitality and purpose. You can expect to be gently challenged to explore your experiences in a safe, kind and private space when you work with me. I've helped people find more confident self expression in decision-making and relationships. I've also had people report performing better in sports, school or the arts. Many people find themselves making better, more positive behavioral changes as they feel better emotionally. I use an eclectic mix of theories, often including psychodynamic work, in therapy to include the entire person: mind, body and soul. I try to educate and empower people to use practical tools they learn in therapy in realistic, lifelong ways. It takes courage to be vulnerable and acknowledge you'd like some help along this journey. I know because I've been there myself. Take the first step and I'll meet you there.

**While I am not in-network with the Dartmouth Student Health Plan, I do bill that plan directly, and students only pay a copay each session** I work with young adults grappling with a variety of issues common to this stage of life including anxiety, depression, identity formation, relationship issues, and body image. My approach is rooted in the idea that every individual has the innate ability to flourish when given the proper environment and tools to thrive. I enjoy finding humor and positivity in life's twists and turns and take seriously my role as confidant and nonjudgmental listener. Please reach out if you'd like a companion in this stage of your life's journey.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or lost? You don't have to face it alone. I specialize in helping adults, teens, and couples navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My goal is to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your challenges, heal, and discover your path forward. During my free time, I enjoy watching America's Got Talent and Dancing with the Stars on television to relax. When I'm at work, I really want to help you achieve your goals.

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 space for healing, reflection, and change. One in which we can better outfit you with the skills and perspectives you need most for the journey you are on. Regardless of how you are hoping to grow or heal, my style is process driven and rooted in self-guided meaning making. I take a culturally-attuned and trauma-informed approach. Understanding that even as you are shaped by social and cultural contexts, you are a unique individual and the expert on your own identity. I consider myself to be an eclectic practitioner with a cultural-relational focus, integrating various therapeutic approaches in order to meet each person’s needs. Above all, I believe healthy relationships are fundamental to emotional wellbeing, resilience and positive growth. That being said, a few styles that guide my work are Emotions-Focused, Attachment, Acceptance and Commitment, and Cognitive-Behavioral. My ultimate hope is that our work together will both allow you to feel safe showing up just as you are, and support you in finding growth as your most authentic and free self. Reach out for a free consultation! I look forward to connecting with you to see if we are a good match.

Trying to navigate your sense of self in the stressful state of the world can be exceptionally challenging. Do you feel weighed down by persistent anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or overwhelming stress?

Within each of us lies the potential to overcome specific challenges and conflicts that weigh us down.

Together, we can harness your strengths to liberate you from self-limiting beliefs and the lingering impact of challenging experiences.

Welcome! My approach to counseling is grounded in connection, curiosity, and care. I support individuals in exploring who they are—both past and present—so they can build deeper relationships with themselves and others. I believe that healing happens in relationship, and I invite clients into a collaborative space where we can gently uncover and care for the parts of you that may feel hidden, hurt, or misunderstood. I work through a trauma-informed and relational lens, paying close attention to how past experiences—both personal and generational—can shape how we move through the world today. Whether you're navigating anxiety, depression, PTSD, challenges in relationship, or navigating life transitions, I’ll meet you where you are with compassion and respect. I’m passionate about holding a space where people of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences feel seen, safe, and supported. Reaching out for therapy is a big step, and I’m honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing, growth, and greater self-understanding.

Whether you’re experiencing anxiety, difficulty with a life transition, a situational stressor, or looking to understand yourself better, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space to explore how aspects of your identity impact you, your relationships, your self-esteem, and your needs. I focus on helping my clients gain insight into their patterns, understand their emotions more fully, and develop healthier, more authentic ways of being in the world. When we understand the unconscious dynamics that shape how we view and interact with both ourselves and others, we can create more meaningful, supportive connections to improve overall well-being. I specialize in depth-oriented therapy, integrating evidence-based approaches of Attachment Theory, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and Psychodynamic Therapy to assist you in exploring your emotional worlds, healing from past wounds, and building stronger, more fulfilling connections while decreasing symptoms impacting day-to-day functioning. I have also completed specialized trainings in ADHD/neurodiversity and enjoy working with individuals who identify as neurodivergent.

My ideal client knows their concerns and is willing to work alongside me finding solutions that work for them with the ultimate goal of improving their overall quality of life. I have worked using a wide range of modalities, but find myself frequently utilizing CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. With that said, I have a strong creative writing background, and feel that writing through experiences can help provide a sense of empowerment and insight. I also was raised by a group of yogis, who taught me of the mind-body connection and the many benefits of incorporating mindfulness practices into one's daily life. In terms of my formal training, I have worked in the social work and mental health fields since 2008, and have extensive experience working with all manner of demographics and diagnoses. I am a strong proponent of examining one's self-talk, as well as examining the ties shared among the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual, and aim to support clients in finding balance and fulfillment in all four areas. I also feel that therapy is about maximizing one's quality of life, and not merely about fixing one's problems. If your ideal life differs from from your current experience, I would like to help you explore how you can close the gap between the two.

Therapy should be a welcoming place where you feel safe, accepted, and understood. So many people hesitate to reach out for help because they fear they’ll have a bad experience, or have tried therapy in the past, only to feel it didn’t work. While the type of treatment is important, it really comes down to the connection you share with your therapist. That’s why I start with an open, non-judgmental space where we can get to know each other. If it’s a good match, we can begin your unique healing journey together. Ultimately you are the one who knows yourself best and I’m here to support you as you tap into that inner wisdom. While serving in Big Sky directly, both in-person and Telehealth, I am also available to all of Montana and have a passion for connecting in rural areas. I help people struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and broader issues like major life changes or difficulty coping. Together we’ll find the best approach for you. Therapy doesn’t have to be something you dread. It’s not about “fixing” yourself. Instead it’s an opportunity for exploration, forgiveness, and acceptance. By changing the story you tell yourself, you can experience more self-love, confidence, and peace. Reach out today, and let’s begin your journey.

ManMade Mentors is a Bozeman, Montana based therapy practice that serves college students. There are multiple points in life from adolescence to adulthood and beyond where you lose course and grow unsure of the next best step. When symptoms like anxiety and depression take hold, they can obscure your path forward. Though it is important to address these symptoms, we put the greatest focus on what is beneath. We believe that once you identify what you want, know what stands in your way, and how to overcome obstacles, you are motivated to work toward your goals. We help clients get unstuck in the areas where they struggle, whether they are personal, school, interpersonal, or career challenges. Our office provides a space where you can be heard, validated, challenged, and encouraged. Our team has a diverse background having worked in wilderness therapy, school, boarding school, group home and community health center environments. We have helped clients confront difficulties associated with depression, anxiety, drug use, trauma, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and more. The most important piece of our approach is relationship development. Our goal is to create a strong and trusting connection, so you want to share, explore, and grow with our help. Instead of sitting across from you, we walk side by side.

*Telehealth across MT* My practice specialty is working with women suffering from anxiety, depression, stress, and self-esteem issues and those requesting EMDR. I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral, & Interpersonal Process Therapies along with various other dynamic methods and modalities. What is EMDR? Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing essentially "unlocks" negative memories, emotions, beliefs about self, stored in the nervous system. This method helps the brain to successfully process negative experiences so they are no longer triggering or charged in day to day life. What is CBT? The Cognitive Behavioral approach focuses on how our thoughts affect our feelings, addresses coping skills, mindfulness, self-compassion and corrects maladaptive thinking patterns.
