James Reed, LCPC — Therapist in Montana

Hi there, I'm James!

I believe in a collaborative and empowering approach to healing. I understand the unique challenges you may face, including trauma. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying and changing negative thought patterns and behaviors. We will work together to develop effective coping strategies.

My focus

Together, we will strive to combine a solution-focused approach with the changes in your life.

My approach

We will use an ever-changing client-centered approach. As you grow, your strengths and concerns possibly change, so will our sessions.

My communication style

We will both utilize a straightforward, no-nonsense communication style.

My journey to mental healthcare

After combat tours and being a career Soldier, I knew I needed help. When I got help and realized my emotions are not abnormal, I wanted to make sure to help others with the same things.

My goals for you

Setting goals is key to a successful outcome in therapy. We may change those goals as your needs change or strengths and weaknesses change.

Our first session

Our first session is all about getting to know each other. Seeing if you are a fit for me and if I am a fit for you. You need to feel a form of connection, safety, and trust with your therapist. I want you to know you have that with me.
