our story
The Story of Illuminate
Illuminate is a mental health collective rooted in the belief that well-being isn’t about perfection—it’s about creating space for ease, even when life feels messy. We support individuals through life’s complexities with compassion, curiosity, and a deep respect for the resilience of the human spirit.
With over 22 years in the mental health field—18 of those in Montana—founder Sarah Webb launched Illuminate with encouragement from her friend and colleague, Lauren Boland. Lauren was seeking deeper, more authentic experiences in the therapy room, and together, they envisioned a practice grounded in clinical excellence, therapist well-being, and a workplace culture infused with connection and joy.
Today, that vision lives on through our growing team—Ellie, Becky, Tori, and our resident dude Logan—each of whom brings heart, skill, and a shared commitment to healing work. Illuminate is truly a collaborative effort, built on mutual support and a passion for helping others grow.
safety & refuge
Our Logo
The Queen Anne’s lace flower represents sanctuary, safety, and refuge. It blooms only in the full heat of summer: a reminder that growth often requires full exposure and illumination.
At Illuminate, we don’t believe our role is to fix or change our clients, we simply illuminate what is already within them.
We create a space where your inner wisdom can rise to the surface, where you can be seen and supported without judgment. Just like the flower, your growth unfolds in the right conditions, with warmth, light, and room to root deeply. We’re here to walk beside you as that process naturally unfolds.

We charge $200 for the intake session and $175 per session after that. If you would like to use your health insurance, we will submit a claim on your behalf. Prior to your intake session, we encourage you to contact your insurance company to ask these essential questions in order to identify any costs you will be responsible for:
Do mental health services apply to my deductible?
“Yes” then ask: How much of my deductible is remaining?
Is there a co-pay or co-insurance?
Co-Pay = “Yes” then Ask: How much is my co-pay?
Co-Insurance = “Yes” then ask: What part of the percentage is mine?
-
We are in-network with: Aetna, Allegiance, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Blue Focus, Cigna, First Choice Health, Pacific Source, Medicaid (Becky, Ellie, Lauren, Tori & Sarah only), Mountain Health Co-Op, and United. If your insurance is not listed, we will charge the full rate and provide you with a Superbill. You can turn this document into your insurance for possible partial reimbursement.
-
We do not offer sliding fee scale. If you still need support for your therapy costs, we encourage you to reach out to Suffer Out Loud for their scholarships. We also recommend Montana State University's Community Counseling Clinic for services at a reduced rate. If all this fails, please call 211, where the Help Center can give you even more ideas.
-
We can help you talk this through. We help match clients with a therapist based on what they want support for, the kind of approach they prefer, and practical factors like scheduling, personality fit, and treatment style.
-
Yes. In addition to in-person counseling in Bozeman, online sessions are available for clients living anywhere in Montana.
-
Once your consult is scheduled, you will talk with a therapist on the phone about your needs and schedule. After that connection, you can move forward with scheduling or reach back out to consider a different therapist on the team.
