Family Therapy in Livingston, MT

I am dedicated to providing help for the hurting, in a safe and compassionate environment. We all have times when we could use a little help, but change is possible and can lead to a great life. I combine evidence-based, cutting-edge therapies intended to bring healing to the brain. These include LENs Neurofeedback, EMDR (I am an approved consultant), and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. As a 25-year military veteran, I have a solid understanding of issues experienced by military and veteran clients and their families, and a deep desire to provide veterans and first-responders with help.

I offer integrative psychotherapy to individuals who are highly motivated to make deep, lasting, transformational change in their lives. Together we work to understand the impacts of the past, shift patterns in the present, and help you move toward what you want in the future. I offer a balanced approach to therapy that attends to your thoughts, behaviors, emotions, relationships, and somatic experiences. I cultivate a compassionate and trusting relationship with my clients so that together, we can take an honest look at what is and isn't working in your life and help you to grow and change in the ways that you would like.

I strongly believe that every human being goes through difficult times in their lives when counseling may be beneficial. We all struggle with various circumstances where it may be helpful to have a separate, unbiased party and support to process through life events. I see individuals, families and couples and have been working in a therapeutic setting for the last 13 years. My specialties include working with those who struggle with depression, self-esteem and relationship issues, as well as other mood and personality disorders.

I am passionate about supporting people in being happier and healthier. This can mean a helping hand while launching into adulthood, understanding sexual, gender, spiritual, and cultural identities, and adjusting to changes in work, home, or personal relationships. I also work with individuals healing from trauma and people who want to use their spirituality as a resource for psychological wellness. My clients often seek to improve communication with family members or address anxiety, depression, a history of trauma, or family of origin issues.

I work with children, adolescents and adults with a curiosity about how we can live more connected and meaningful lives. Often the ways we have learned to adapt to our world (or world view) is no longer effective or relevant. I seek to help create deeper awareness and insight into underlying motives, defenses, and desires. Together we explore patterns that contribute to struggles and dissonance in day to day life.

Not connecting with your teen or young adult? Feel at a loss as a parent? Family feels off kilter? Nothing you've tried seems to work? After many years of working with teens and their families, Evan has found that the best way to help kids is to help parents. If you are interested in getting the support you need to help your child, Evan is the person to call. She works with Parents, Couples, Divorced and/or Blended Families, and Single Parents to support them in supporting their child of any age (from babies to young adults) through episodes of anxiety, stress, sadness, or trauma.

Life is complicated and painful. You deserve the respect, confidentiality, attention, and compassion that I offer as a Professional Mental Health Counselor. Porn/sex addiction (and partner/familial effects), occupational stress (military/veterans, law enforcement, first responders), separation/divorce/infidelity, trauma/PTSD, domestic abuse/violence, and grief/loss issues, are some of the areas in which I have clinical experience and training. I have worked in mental health since 2008, and spent four years at an inpatient crisis residential facility working with suicidal and high-risk patients, and am a Montana Red Cross member.

I have been studying and working in mental health for 24 years since 1999. Emotional suffering due to relational conflict, anxiety and depression are some of the main reasons people seek therapy. When people engage fully in the therapeutic process, they can often experience moments of transformation that can be profound and or subtle in which their experience of suffering is either alleviated or their attitude towards their situation shifts in meaningful ways. My training and experiences as a clinical psychologist can help you to reduce your pain and how you relate to the difficult experiences or people in your life.

Lauren believes our experiences shape how we interact with ourselves and others. She believes increasing self-understanding is a powerful tool to increase our freedom to choose how we react and respond to people, situations, and life events. Lauren was born and raised in Montana and earned her Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Montana State University. Prior to returning to school in pursuit of a degree in counseling, Lauren earned a Master of Science in Special Education from Grand Canyon University and taught K-5 special education.

I believe everyone has an innate strength and resilience, an authenticity that is limited only by inaccurate beliefs and interpretations of life struggles and challenges. My work with clients is geared toward identifying and removing those blocks to create space for the authentic self to flourish. I counsel individuals, couples, and families wishing to work through past or current trauma, or struggles with day-to-day challenges.

We were all teenagers once, and can often recall struggles, such as bullying, depression, anxiety, and fears during adolescence. Many of my clients struggle with the daily challenges of being a young person in this world. I know that the parents also struggle and I provide support for the children, and families. I also see adults and I'm happy to provide trauma based therapy to anyone aged 12 and up. My passion is to help others to grow and change in a way that complements the type of life that they want to live, rather than what they are currently struggling with. I would be delighted to be a part of your counseling journey.

I am committed to offering clients my supportive and engaged presence. My approach is both intuitive and evidence-based, drawing on a diverse range of modalities. Our work together will be collaborative in order to cultivate support that is attuned to your specific needs. I am engaged in ongoing extensive trainings and consultation that incorporate critical advances in neuroscience, trauma and the mind-body connection in order to offer my clients the most effective interventions available.

I help people grow and live more satisfying lives. My clients can expect to learn new tools for emotional regulation and feeling better. Therapy is dynamic and I utilize a variety of approaches to help my clients find the right road map to recovery and better living. Surprisingly as it sounds, therapy can be fun, enlightening and a place not only out of pain but onto a more rewarded life. By developing our natural curiosity we can start letting go of our inner critic and open ourselves up to more balance and connection.

I am a genuine counselor who works to help you find peace within yourself. I work with adolescents and adults with a wide variety of issues like PTSD, attachment, emotion dysregulation, trauma, and more. I also work with couples and families to increase communication and connection. I help people find acceptance for themselves while walking alongside them to find the growth they desire. I offer tools that facilitate expansion and understanding to help you gain emotional intelligence, stability, and personal development. The counseling relationship is sacred to me and of the utmost importance in our work together.

It’s also an indicator of self-awareness, resilience, and perseverance which can be amazing places to start any journey. I am happy to be a resource and support on your path! It is possible to build a strong foundation of internal wellness and healing from which we can thrive, not just survive!

I believe in meeting people where they are at and through safe and non-judgmental guidance exploring past and current struggles to allow for a happier and healthier future. I believe that people innately have what they need inside them and with the proper tools they can pull the strengths and resilience that they have out to lead a life that they strive to live. Together we will work to explore the impact that our past has had on our present and modify maladaptive and unhealthy patterns to move towards a future that has a more sustainable outcome.

Like Fireweed growing and spreading vibrantly after a wildfire, I believe we (humans) can transform our traumatized soil and bloom into resilience. I hope to support you in experiencing greater access to your enduring strengths and the things in your life that ground you and provide nourishment. Together, we can work to discover and pursue your own values and visions. We can increase your capacity to access needs that have gone unmet, restoring and integrating your vigor for life.
