Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Montana

As a fully licensed therapist for 4+ years Ashley has had experience working with a wide range of clients. Recently she has begun to focus on women's health, ADHD and those with addiction issues.

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'm looking forward to coming alongside and walking with you as your mental health journey unfolds. In 2023 I completed my doctoral training as a psychiatric nurse practitioner at the University of Washington in Seattle, Washington. I earned my board certification in the fall of that same year. Since then I've had opportunities to work with clients from diverse backgrounds with a wide variety of mental health needs. Whether you're looking for help with ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, or sleep issues I'm confident that, working together, we can create positive change in your life.

Whether I am working with clients navigating life transitions or partnering with UA to support elite athletes and students, my goal is to help you meet your challenges with more kindness and resilience.

I bring specialized clinical training in self-compassion and grief to our sessions.

I am Certified in Self Compassion in Psychotherapy and a Mindful Self-Compassion Teacher, trained by the Center for Mindful Self Compassion. I am a certified Grief Educator trained by David Kessler.

I received my Masters in Social Work from The University of Alabama, rtr, and my BLA in Psychology from Johns Hopkins University .

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.

I am a licensed psychologist offering telehealth therapy for adults in early and midlife across Montana. I work with people who feel lost, overwhelmed, unseen, or trapped. Whether you are carrying trauma, struggling with depression or anxiety, stuck in painful relationship patterns, or functioning on the outside while feeling depleted underneath, therapy can help you understand and move through what feels most painful or stuck.

My style is active, honest, and collaborative. I am warm and direct. I listen carefully, ask real questions, and provide thoughtful feedback to help you better understand what is happening and what may need to change.

My background includes doctoral training in clinical psychology, additional education and experience in trauma and crisis work, and clinical experience in medical and academic settings. I also had a previous career as a hospital chaplain. I am comfortable working with both symptoms and deeper concerns: suffering, meaning, faith, conscience, identity, loss, and major life transitions. Spiritual or religious concerns can be part of the work when they matter to you, but they do not have to be.

I offer telehealth only, so you can meet with me from anywhere in Montana. I accept insurance through Headway and offer a free 15-minute consultation to see whether working together would be a good fit. I have limited openings, so please reach out if you are interested.
