I am a dedicated practitioner focused on providing evidence-based, compassionate care. My professional journey is rooted in a deep commitment to understanding human behavior and fostering meaningful growth.
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.
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.
Are you on a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement? Or perhaps it has come to your attention that you are repeating patterns in your life that don't serve you anymore. In your work with me, I will teach you a variety of tools to use for finding the best version of yourself. I can help you understand complex emotions like shame, guilt, hopelessness, and lack of purpose. I will also help you look at deep-set core beliefs, how they may hinder you, and help you to learn how to change them. I also enjoy addressing spiritual and religious concerns.

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.
I believe that challenges can become opportunities for growth when we have the right support. My approach is focused on helping you recognize your strengths, clarify your goals, and take meaningful steps toward the life you want.
I earned my first clinical license in 2019 and began my career specializing in addiction treatment before transitioning into broader mental health care in 2020. Since then, I have worked primarily with adults ages 18–55 navigating men’s issues, relationship concerns, vocational stress, and major life adjustments.
Whether you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about what comes next, therapy can provide a supportive space to better understand yourself and create lasting change. We will work together to develop practical strategies that fit your needs, values, and goals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Montana
Searching for therapists in Montana starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Across a large state with both urban and rural communities, available care can vary by location, specialty, and appointment format. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare Montana therapists, look for specialties and therapy approaches that align with your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care.
Your search may look different in Billings, Missoula, Bozeman, or a smaller Montana community. Some people prefer in-person sessions with a therapist nearby, while others choose virtual appointments for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, has appointment times that fit your calendar, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their approach, session style, and areas of focus.
The cost of therapy in Montana can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists who accept insurance, view estimated session costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can add your plan details to confirm coverage for your location and benefits before you book.
