Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual & in-person • Helena, MT


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.

J. Olivia Drumm

Therapist

Virtual • Montana


I specialize in working with anxiety, trauma, PTSD, identity exploration, family dynamics, depression, stress, and relationship challenges.

I also support clients navigating creative blocks, life transitions, cultural identity, and the emotional effects of childhood experiences. Many of the individuals I work with describe feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to put their experiences into words — and that’s okay. Healing isn’t about perfection or having a polished story. It’s about beginning where you are.

My journey into becoming a therapist began well before I was born — shaped by the inheritance of generational mental health patterns within my family. As a teenager, I turned to art-making as a way to express and process what I didn’t yet have language for. That process sparked curiosity and eventually led me to explore psychology, anthropology, indigenous healing traditions, and later, art therapy as a modality that honors both mind and body.

Maya Gordon

Therapist

Virtual • Whitefish, MT


Hi! It’s nice to meet you. I’m glad you’re here. Seeking support can be vulnerable, and reaching out is often one of the hardest steps. People seek therapy for many reasons—whether you're having trouble managing anxiety or depression, exploring your identity, navigating relationship challenges, or working through the impact of difficult past experiences. You’re not alone, and I’m here to help.

My name is Maya. I am a trauma-informed therapist with extensive experience working with survivors of domestic and relationship abuse, sexual abuse and child abuse. I help clients understand the impact of trauma, build coping skills, strengthen relationships, and move toward healing. To support this work, I draw from evidence-based approaches including EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral therapy, somatic interventions, and attachment-based perspectives. I want clients to gain practical, easy to apply skills from our sessions. In addition to trauma processing, you may learn skills for grounding, managing difficult emotions, communication and more.

I have worked with individuals from a variety of backgrounds, including Queer and Trans clients. I am committed to creating a therapeutic space where people feel respected, affirmed, and welcome. I approach each person with curiosity, compassion, and openness, recognizing that our unique experiences shape how we understand ourselves, our relationships, and the world around us.
