Domestic Abuse Therapists in Kalispell, MT

Are You Feeling Overwhelmed, Hopeless, and Unsure Where to Turn? Does everyone else seem to think you've got it all together, yet inside, you feel totally out of control?

In addition to conventional therapy we offer art therapy and activities with our horses to address mental and behavioral health issues for women, adolescents, military personnel and veterans in a multi-faceted treatment approach with evidence of positive treatment outcomes.

In art therapy, we make things together to create a bridge to communication, sometimes staying in the metaphor, and other times using the art product as a jumping off point for verbal discussion. When using narrative therapy, we find new and creative ways to look at old, unproductive stories. We create goals together. I provide the solid, predictable framework and ongoing support, as well as parent coaching. We create opportunities for deep insight, meaningful growth and healthy risk-taking.

My work is rooted in the belief that everyone has the capacity for well-being, growth, and healing. With a safe environment, the conditions are created to let go of shame and judgements around emotions and behaviors, creating space to cultivate curiosity, acceptance, and compassion about your experiences. My intention is to create the conditions that allow you to closely examine your life and values… and ultimately cultivate and achieve your goals. I offer a warm, supportive, and safe space for transformational inner work that leads to lasting growth and change.

Sessions are currently available, in office and equine assisted psychotherapy. I inherently care about helping you and value your unique life.

I believe that each of us is a complete person with unique challenges, experiences, strengths, and opportunities for growth and change.

My approach is one of acceptance and non-judgement for the person in front of me, creating a safe space for self-discovery.

Does your heart hurt? Have you lost a loved one to death or divorce and your mourning feels unbearable? Grief and loss also comes from relocating, breaking up with a significant other, fired from a job, a broken friendship, a pet dying, abusive childhood, or substance abuse. Grief can feel heavy and numbing. You may feel anxiety, anger, depression and are isolating. Self-medicating through alcohol and drugs is common, too. Negative emotions are balled up and difficult to untangle alone. Do you want to move through the journey of grief into a place where it feels "more normal"?

Often, life challenges us with obstacles to our best health and wellbeing. I believe in offering a safe and comfortable setting for you to develop a plan to move towards your greatest potential and quality wellness.

My goal is to support you in overcoming issues that prevent a deeper sense of purpose, self-awareness, and joy in your life. Diversity and multiculturalism are at the root of my therapeutic practice.

Hello, I'm Samantha Romero, and I'm passionate about helping individuals heal and transform their lives. With over 13 years of experience in the field of psychology and mental health, my journey has led me through diverse and challenging settings, ultimately shaping me into the therapist I am today. My career began in inpatient treatment facilities, where I gained invaluable insights into the complex interplay of substance abuse and mental health disorders. Witnessing the resilience and strength of those facing such challenges inspired me to delve deeper into the realm of psychology and trauma therapy.

I have a passion for working with people who are in need of surrendering old coping skills and behaviors that no longer serve them. This may be challenging those "old" thought patterns when they arise, or allowing space for a "new" point of view or voice to be heard. The therapeutic relationship should be a place where one can practice setting boundaries, empowering themselves, and self advocating. My practice includes an integrative and somatic psychotherapy approach. Modalities include EMDR, CBT, attachment theory, neurodevelopment and psycho-education, and somatic techniques.

I work with adults, couples and teenagers. My approach is a blend of Family Systems Theory, cognitive behavioral therapy and positive psychology. I believe the quality of our lives is mostly determined by the quality of our relationships, so my work often involved teaching communication skills, resolving conflict and applying the new but vast amount of scientific research about relationships to your own lives. We can't control the events in our lives or our feelings, but we can control our behavior and thoughts. Counseling is learning to do just that. It's educational, inspiring and helpful in so many ways!

I have worked with adolescents, adults, families, couples, combat veterans, professional athletes, medical professionals, as well as adolescents and adults with diverse ethnic, indigenous, sexual, gender, and cultural identities. It is such an honor to assist in the discovery of personal truths.

“You are the most delightful child in all the world. Having you around just lights up my day.” For many of us, these statements do not resonate with our childhood experience. For others, childhood trauma left visible scars. And yet the child brain is wired for growth in an environment of unconditional love and acceptance.
