My approach to therapy begins within an environment of warmth, collaboration, and trust. Here, you and I will strive toward your self-healing through the development of deep insight into your unique history, personality structure, and relationship patterns. Over time, you should notice ease with your desired life changes, substance dependency, hard-to-handle emotions, isolation and loneliness, identity conflicts, or relationships. My approaches to treatment are personalized to ensure that we meet your goals, whether through use of cognitive behavioral and/or depth-oriented psychodynamic therapies. Whether focused on shorter-term needs (i.e. insomnia or trauma treatment) or long-term change (i.e. longstanding personality and relationship patterns), we will also pay close attention to what happens within our co-created therapeutic space, as what occurs within our own relationship can offer valuable insights into your life outside of the therapy room. Your unique cultural, religious, or identity contexts will be both honored and integrated into therapy. If you feel we would be a good fit, please feel free to reach out through email or by calling Big Sky Psychological Consortium to schedule an initial appointment.

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.

The world can be a joyful yet overwhelming place. Traumatic and negative experiences can make us feel stuck, so having someone walk alongside you as you process and heal helps forge a new pathway forward. All of our experiences are a part of our story, but they don't have to define who we are. I work with young adults and adults who may be experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, suicidality, relational struggles, and transitions. I feel that coming from a place of self-trust and safety building can help create a path for self-compassion, understanding, and new beginnings.

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.

It is no coincidence that you have made your way here. You are taking a brave step towards getting the support you need. I am here to support you through whatever challenges you are facing. Whether you have experienced a traumatic event, you are struggling with a specific aspect of your life, or you are unsure of what to do next, I am here to navigate it with you. Together, we will create a welcoming environment that allows you to share your needs and goals with me, which will guide our work together. You truly deserve a life well lived. My practice is relational, person centered and holistic. I consider all aspects of your life, valuing all of your past experience that has made you the person you are today. I specialize in therapy for young adults and college students. Throughout my career I have worked with folks from birth-end of life. Finding the right therapist is vital to your well-being and healing, so I offer a free consultation for you to ask questions and get to know me. Please reach out today to see if we are the right fit. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.

I believe that everyone is wired to be in relationships and we long to connect with the people we love. Whether healthy or unhealthy, our relationships with those around us affect the way we think and feel about ourselves and our world. Eventually, we develop habitual patterns of thinking that influence our emotions, behaviors, and even our physical responses. Sometimes, these patterns become problematic, cause us emotional distress, and keep us from reaching our goals. I believe that relationships can be transformative and powerful when they offer safety and security. My goal is to offer a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment to empower you towards deeper self-reflection, understanding, and discovery.

I work with people on relationship issues, anxiety, ADHD, perfectionism, body image, disordered eating, depression, bi-polar, chronic pain and BPD. I am a former teacher and current herbalist. I am interested in how the brain forms patterns that lead to distress, and how to "unwind" those patterns to create positive change. I utilize "talk therapy" and EMDR to effect change. I work with you and your needs in therapy. Visit my website, RootedWisdomTherapy.com to learn more about me and my practice.

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.

Through virtual therapy, I work with adolescents and young adults who are navigating lifes challenges. I will meet you with a nonjudgemental, accepting, and collaborative perspective to walk alongside you through the hard stuff. I believe you don't have to go through these challenges alone, whether it is anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, social anxiety, family or life changes, or you are exploring your identity or life goals. I will meet you where you are at and we can work through this challenging time together. Some of the modalities of therapy that I use include art therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, parts work with IFS, EMDR, somatic methods (body awareness), and I love to incorporate neuroscience and breath work depending on each person's personal preference. Therapy should be a soft and safe place to land. Together, we’ll focus on your strengths, empowering you to face challenges with confidence and authenticity. I look forward to meeting you- reach out for a free consultation and we can get started!

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. Through this process, you can search for your truest self and honest desires without ever feeling like you're alone. For better or for worse, we live within our own world where we are the center and the focus. Therapy can be difficult. I also believe it can be connective, creative, insightful, and foster immense healing. And the hardest part can be reaching out. My approach is emotion focused, attachment based, and incorporates the rewriting of our own stories. This means that I am always guiding our lens in therapy to fit your needs in the process, while encouraging emotional exploration surrounding the narratives that dominate our lives. Therapy can feel like storytelling where you finally hold the pen. I work primarily with teenagers and college aded adults. My expertise includes treatment of eating disorders, chronic illness, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. I welcome all people into my space regardless of gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity and ability. If you think we may be a good fit, please reach out. I'd be happy to talk.
