As Good as It Gets indeed highlights how the complexity of human relationships and personal struggles can transform people. The movie shows that, despite difficult circumstances, there is potential for growth, healing, and connection. This message aligns well with a therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding clients' unique journeys and strengths, even when they face significant challenges.

• Montana, Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, BBH-LCPC-LIC-60135

After earning my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I embarked on a journey to support clients across diverse settings. I began in a community mental health setting, where I worked closely with individuals from various backgrounds, each facing unique challenges. This experience shaped my approach, especially in trauma and anxiety work, as I saw firsthand how powerful safe, supportive relationships can be in helping people heal and thrive. From there, I created a solo practice where I continue to grow my expertise in family therapy, child and adolescent counseling, and trauma recovery. My work here has allowed me to offer a range of services, including individual therapy, couples counseling, and group therapy, along with workshops and retreats. Collaborating with skilled colleagues in this setting has enriched my practice, especially in the use of evidence-based therapies like CBT and DBT, alongside somatic and mindfulness techniques. Working with children and adolescents has always been a special focus for me. I've learned how to use creativity and play to create a safe, engaging environment for young clients, helping them express their emotions in ways that feel natural. I believe that empowering kids and teens early on can make a significant difference in their lives. Each experience has shaped the way I connect with clients today—bringing empathy, a client-centered focus, and evidence-based tools to every session. My goal is always to meet each person where they are and provide the support they need to move forward with confidence.
