Therapists for college students near University of Montana

College life brings a lot—freedom, excitement, and growth—but also stress, pressure, and uncertainty. Whether you’re transitioning into college, navigating the in-between, or preparing for what’s next, it can feel overwhelming and exhausting. Balancing academics with everything else—friendships, relationships, family, finances, work, and just being human—is a lot to carry. I aim to provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can express your concerns freely. You deserve to feel heard, supported, and empowered to grow. I use psychoeducation and evidence-based therapeutic practices to help you gain clarity, build coping skills, and move toward your goals. I look forward to hearing from you!

I work with individuals and couples experiencing addiction, trauma, attachment and intimacy concerns, relational conflict, life transitions, and a wide range of other emotional, relational, and mental health concerns. Together, we'll explore the patterns that keep you stuck, strengthen your relationship with yourself and others, and foster greater safety, authenticity, resilience, and lasting connection.

Substance use and mental health disorders can be isolating and stigmatizing for individuals who are working on their recovery. My approach to helping clients reach their goals is a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, dialectical behavioral therapy, and motivational interviewing.

Wow, being in college can be an intense and stressful period of life. There can be so many factors to juggle and it may feel hard to find any semblance of balance in your life! This can also be a time when there is an abundance of exploration - exploration of your environment, peer relationships, living arrangements, and of yourself. Here at Bozeman Counseling Center, we believe in giving you tools to help you empower yourself and in discovering your authentic Self together. Having a safe comfortable space to be yourself is important at any time of life, but especially crucial when stress levels are high.

Telehealth only

I’m a licensed therapist supporting sensitive, thoughtful clients who are navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship/friendship/family challenges, grief, and life transitions. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed or stuck — questioning their self-worth, carrying the weight of people-pleasing, or wondering who they really are. My approach is mindfulness-based, somatic, and relational. Together, we slow down, listen inward, and create space for both mind and body to be heard. I help clients untangle old patterns, cultivate self-compassion, and discover what it means to live with more clarity, ease, and alignment. I'm licensed in Montana and Washington, I offer therapy that goes beyond symptom relief to support deeper connection — to self, others, and life itself.

Erin Amato, MD, and her team are dedicated to providing the best psychiatric treatment to put you on the path to healing and enriched living. At Montana Psychiatry & Brain Health Center, we are dedicated to serving the mental health needs of pediatric and adult patients in our region. We aim to provide compassionate, thoughtful, and comprehensive care by using an integrative approach that focuses on biological, psychological, and social factors that are unique to each patient.

I am passionate about working with individuals who are suffering in a variety of ways--past trauma, addiction, life circumstances changing, adults who are struggling to find their place in the world, and ready to stop repeating the same old patterns which bring them back to the same old place. Being human is traumatic enough in and of itself. Pile on some childhood trauma, life circumstances changing beyond your control, and day-to-day stress, and you might find yourself struggling. I'm here to help you stop the pain from turning into ongoing suffering. I like to keep it simple. Let's get real and work things out in a way that works for you, rather than the way others have told you to do it. I incorporate Somatic Experiencing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Internal Family Systems therapy, and Motivational Interviewing in a down-to-earth, no-fluff way to get to the real issues that are hanging you up. Feel free to reach out to me with questions of your own, as I believe the therapeutic relationship is a collaborative one. I try my best to step down off of the pedestal that mental health professionals are often placed upon to be relatable, real, down-to-earth, and easy to talk to. Our relationship is the most important thing that will determine success.

Hi there! I'm a Montana Native that has been a therapist for over a decade. I've been working with college students since the beginning of my practice, getting my Masters degree at MSU. Much of my experience is helping students of all ages navigate the mental health challenges of being a student and preparing for life after school.

A warm welcome, I'm Elizabeth. It takes courage to seek mental health counseling, and I admire you for taking this step in support of your own self-care and wellness. I specialize in resilience counseling to foster well-being and flourishing in a way that aligns with what matters most to you. Together, we can balance tending to concerns, stressors, and symptoms with your inherent resources, enhancing what’s “strong” so you can fully engage with your life, experience joy, and move through challenges with resourcefulness and ingenuity. In my experience, mental health counseling can provide fertile ground for cultivation - perhaps it's less of something such as stress, anxiety, feeling down, or relationship issues, or more of something such as centeredness, calm, self-trust, meaning and purpose, a life you love... it could be all the above. The possibilities are yours and endless. I draw on principles and techniques from Positive Psychology which is strength-affirming, focusing on resiliency, living well, and meaningful fulfillment. I also creatively integrate various other therapies in my work. Our time together will be collaborative, where you are the trusted expert in your life, and I am a guide to assist in achieving your goals.
