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.

Therapist

I believe healing happens within a safe, genuine, and supportive relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel accepted without judgment and free to show up exactly as you are.

Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and thoughtful. I combine empathy with practical, evidence-based strategies to help you better understand what you’re experiencing while also building tools you can use in your daily life.

As a therapist who primarily works with women, I understand how often women carry significant responsibilities while caring for others. Therapy is a space to slow down, reconnect with yourself, and receive the same compassion and care you so readily give to those around you. You don’t have to navigate life’s challenges alone—I’m honored to support you on your journey.

30 East Washington Street, Kalispell, MT

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving women in Montana and Florida through my private practice, Heart Development Strategies, LLC. I earned my Master of Social Work from Western New Mexico University and hold a graduate certificate in Rural Community Social Work. I am trained in EMDR, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, Internal Family Systems, and strengths-based, person-centered approaches.

I specialize in working with emotionally and mentally exhausted women navigating anxiety, burnout, compassion fatigue, trauma, and major life transitions. Many of the women I work with are leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, and caregivers who have spent years holding everything together while quietly losing touch with themselves. Women often come to me because they want someone real, warm, honest, and straightforward. I am not here to impress you or give you a script to follow. I meet you where you are with truth, compassion, and practical support.

Please note, outside of Headway insurance I also accept Mountain Health Co-Op, Peak PPO.

Hello, I’m Ryann. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with more than 20 years of experience in the field, including work in community mental health, developmental disability services, and more than a decade in hospice and palliative care. Those experiences shape the steadiness and non-judgmental presence I bring to therapy today.

I work primarily with women, LGBTQIA+ adults, neurodivergent adults, and older adults navigating relational harm, grief, loss, and major life transitions. Relational harm may include painful childhood experiences, controlling or abusive relationships, or environments and systems marked by discrimination, racism, ableism, anti-LGBTQIA+ bias, or chronic invalidation.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Missoula

Searching for therapists in Missoula starts with knowing what kind of support you want. People often look for therapy for concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, stress, or major life changes. As you compare Missoula therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy approach, and experience match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand how they work, what types of concerns they support, and what you can expect in a first session.

In a smaller city like Missoula, local therapist availability may be more limited than in larger metro areas. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Montana. You may also want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles closely can help you narrow your search based on communication style, focus areas, and practical fit.

Therapy in Missoula can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated price before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences and are ready to see new patients, so you can review bios, compare availability, and book directly when you’re ready. You can also enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm coverage and estimated costs for your specific plan and location.
