You have probably been managing this longer than you let on, to yourself or to the people around you.

I work with people across every stage of life, from children and teenagers to adults and seniors, and I have been doing this work long enough to know that no two people carry things the same way. Whether you are navigating anxiety, processing something painful from your past, managing shifts in mood, or simply trying to figure out who you want to become, I want to help you get there. My goal is to help you find the version of yourself that you actually want to be.

Becky Johnston

Therapist

Virtual • Montana


I am a fully licensed therapist (LCSW) specialized in supporting adults (18+) navigating the exhausting loops of anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, major life transitions, and burnout. My goal is to make therapy feel less like a clinical interrogation and more like a warm, supportive conversation with someone who is entirely on your team (and who will never suggest a juice cleanse or judge your late-night doom-scrolling).

I came to the field of mental health later in life, after a long career in corporate settings. What does that mean for you? It means I bring deep, real-world experience from the front lines of high-stress careers, parenting, marriage, and life’s unexpected "plot twists".

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.

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.

Hello, I'm Valerie!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Montana and Ohio with a decade of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about helping people reconnect with their authentic selves.

​I founded Wild Living Therapy not only because of my deep love for wildlife and nature but also because I believe we all carry untamed, misunderstood aspects of ourselves—parts that may feel "too wild" or difficult to accept. My goal is to create a space where you can honor these parts, step into your power, and recognize your worth.

You're not broken—you are whole. Let’s navigate this journey together.

301 Saddle Drive, 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.

Happy patient looking away

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.
