Therapists for college students near University of Montana
Susanne Draper
Life has a tendency to throw us off balance, and we might benefit from professional support to help us get back on our path. Counseling is an amazing tool that can increase awareness of patterns that don’t serve us. Sometimes, we get “stuck in our own mind” and through the counseling process, we can broaden our view and shift perspective. You can also develop new coping skills to help navigate challenging situations. Counseling can foster a strong sense of self and boost confidence. Susanne can support adolescents, young adults, and adults to move forward in life in an authentic and empowered way. The focus of our sessions aims to promote self-growth by increasing an understanding of the different behaviors, patterns, thoughts, stories, and beliefs that are getting in the way of living a fulfilling life. Susanne will support you in a non-judgmental and compassionate manner. She will give you a gentle nudge to move outside of your comfort zone when you are feeling stagnant. She will help you to cultivate a sense of calm within when life feels chaotic and unpredictable.

Honey Williams
I'm a licensed clinical psychologist offering online therapy to college students and young adults across MT and WA. My approach to therapy is integrative, attachment-based, diversity-affirming, and depathologizing. This means that I help you to understand your struggles through the lens of neurobiological adaptions to social environments and relational experiences versus symptoms of a disorder. I work with a variety of presenting concerns and specialize in the effects of complex trauma, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, mood swings, dissociative processes, ADHD/executive functioning difficulties, self-destructive behavior, identify confusion or conflict, and difficulties feeling safe, close, or understood in the context of relationships. Therapy is not about me telling you what to do; its about co-creating therapeutic relationship that fosters a curious and compassionate expanded awareness of yourself, so that you can use that information to direct whatever changes you're needing to feel more authentic, connected, and empowered in your life. I tend to integrate the following treatment modalities/interventions: somatic/mindfulness-based therapies, Trauma-informed Stabilization Treatment-informed "parts work", DBT skills, and interpersonal and emotion-focused therapy. I also have training in CBT, MI, and CPT for clients wanting/needing a more top-down approach.

Jennifer Franklin
I can imagine that your journey has been a challenging one. Reaching out for help is no small feat. Most likely, it took a lot of courage for you to arrive here. It requires bravery to open up to someone and be vulnerable. I get it. To say, “I need help,” is a tremendously vulnerable act. I am here to make that process as seamless as possible. The more each of us reaches out for help, the more we normalize helping each other. Welcome! Just as no two people are exactly alike, neither is their process in therapy. In each therapeutic relationship we settle into an approach that feels appropriate, remaining open to changes throughout the treatment. An integral part of my work is to help individuals overcome trauma (relational and physical) along with the limiting beliefs that go along with those experiences. I understand that you may feel that the word “trauma” may not apply to you. However, I have found that most people who struggle have had life experiences that they consider insignificant; Those same experiences end up being key in moving forward with their healing. We tend to have experiences that lead to unhelpful patterns which lock us into feeling unloved, hurt, misunderstood, helpless and unvalued as well as a myriad of other feelings. Together we will unveil those experiences and move through a somatic, body/mind integration in order to feel physically different in the present. In order to reach these permanent changes, we have sessions on a weekly basis. Typically treatment lasts from one to one and a half years. I have extensive training in EMDR, mindfulness and meditation, Attachment-Focused Therapy, psychodynamic theory, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I specialize in working with young adults (ages 20 to early 30s) who struggle with PTSD/trauma, depression, anxiety, major life transitions, identity issues, loss/grief, and individuals that want to experience more self-growth. I aim to help people find their own authentic path towards understanding, compassion, and meaning in life through a relationally grounded approach. In addition to my formal clinical masters-level training in psychotherapy from Smith College for Social Work, I have over 15 years of training in behavioral learning theory that is grounded in my prior work as a teacher and parent educator. What that means for you is that we have a variety of means to address what is happening for you so that your treatment is as individualized as possible. In addition, I have a Master of the Arts degree in Bilingual and Diverse Education. I am actively working to be anti-racist, and strive to implement practices that decolonize the therapeutic process and move away from pathologizing peoples’ experiences.

Heather Weas
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-making process? How does your environment and systems impact and intersect with your identities? I have experience working with clients navigating relationship difficulties, domestic violence, sexual assault/abuse, trauma/PTSD, grief, life transitions, identity development, and neurodiversity (ADHD/Autism Spectrum Disorder). Reach out for a free consultation. I look forward to collaborating with you!

Monica L. Espinasse, Psy.D., PLLC
Therapy can be a space that’s just yours—somewhere to slow down, sort through what’s on your mind, and get to know yourself more clearly. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just trying to figure out who you are and where you’re going, you don’t have to do it alone. There’s no one “right” way to be in therapy—together, we’ll find an approach that fits you and what you need right now, while keeping in mind where you want to grow. I bring a compassionate and curious approach, and I’m not afraid to gently challenge you when it’s helpful. We might look at patterns in your relationships, habits, or thoughts to better understand what’s underneath them—and create meaningful, lasting change. I work with college students and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD and other neurodivergent experiences, relationship stress, and questions around identity, culture, and spirituality. Starting therapy can feel like a big step—whether it’s your first time or not. I offer a free 30-minute consultation (video or in person) so we can get to know each other and see if it feels like a good fit.
