I enjoy learning about ways we can change and understand our human existence. We are thinking, feeling and doing beings. Cognitive behavioral therapy provides a framework to identify ways to do it differently and better. Trauma treatment modalities like EMDR may support processing neurological and physiological reactions and being able to feel secure and safe while staying connected to others more fully. Our story is just that; we write it and edit it. We get to choose the chapters and path of our lives, through the unknowns, mysteries and celebrations.

I have spent 20 years in nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and the living rooms of families trying to figure out what comes next for someone they love. I know what it feels like to sit with serious illness and loss, and I know how to be present with it without flinching. I am direct and warm, and I will not waste your time. I work best with people who are ready to be honest about what is hard, even if they are not sure yet how to say it.

Having worked in community care settings, the school setting, and in private practice, my strengths are working with teenagers, individuals, adults, families, and couples experiencing challenges in relationships and connection. With 15 years of counseling experience, I offer a depth of compassion, wisdom, and appreciation for the difficulties that we all face in life. I expect my clients to engage in therapy with intent and the expectation that they will gain the skills and strategies to empower themselves to live their best lives.

You might be feeling overwhelmed, stuck or just plain tired of trying to figure everything out on your own. Maybe anxiety keeps you up at night, or depression makes it hard to find the motivation to get through your day. Perhaps ADHD has you juggling a million things at once, but nothing feels like it's getting done. Maybe you're in the midst of a big change; a new role, shifting family dynamics, or health challenges and you're not sure how to navigate it all. I want you to know that you don't have to do it alone. Life doesn't always go as planned, and sometimes it can feel overwhelming to carry. We can find a way forward together.

I earned a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling at The University of Great Falls in Montana. Simultaneously, I pursued credentials for a License in Addiction Counseling. Understanding the all-too-common relationship between menal illness, aspects of addiction, and trauma is imperative to helping people in our society. I am also certified in E.M.D.R. Therapy, found to be highly effective treating P.T.S.D. I have applied all of these techniques to various mental health issues and demographic populations.
In Montana, winter presents some of the greatest outdoor activities; hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, and splitting firewood. Technically, fire wood is not a recreational activity but there is something spiritual between a man and his chainsaw.

Hello, I'm Tara Wells, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, PMHNP-BC, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals across the lifespan. My goal is to create a welcoming, judgment-free environment where patients feel heard, respected, and empowered to take an active role in their health and well-being.
With extensive experience in primary care, psychiatry, addiction medicine, and chronic disease management, I believe in treating the whole person rather than just the diagnosis. I work collaboratively with each patient to develop individualized treatment plans that address their unique medical, emotional, and lifestyle needs.
My areas of clinical interest include anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, substance use disorders and medication-assisted treatment (MAT), weight management, hormone optimization, and preventive health. I also provide comprehensive evaluations, medication management, and supportive counseling while emphasizing patient education and shared decision-making.
I am currently working on my Doctor of Nursing Practice degree from Maryville University and maintain board certification as both a Family Nurse Practitioner and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. I am committed to staying current with the latest clinical research and treatment guidelines to ensure my patients receive high-quality, evidence-based care.
Whether you're seeking support for your mental health, managing a chronic medical condition, or working toward your wellness goals, I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to better health.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience supporting adolescents, college students, and adults of all ages navigating anxiety, ADHD, trauma, OCD, and life transitions. I use evidence-based therapies including CBT, ACT, DBT, and mindfulness to help clients develop practical tools for emotional regulation and follow-through. My approach is direct, supportive, and focused on long-term growth. I believe meaningful change happens when insight is paired with skill-building and self-respect.
