At Illuminate Counseling, we provide individualized, trauma-informed therapy to help you navigate anxiety, burnout, depression, grief, OCD, and more—so you can reconnect with yourself, your relationships, and your life.

What Starting Therapy Looks Like at Illuminate Counseling
Every adult’s journey in therapy is unique, and at Illuminate Counseling, we guide you through each step with care, expertise, and flexibility.
From your first contact to life after therapy, our process is designed to support real growth, practical skills, and balance in the rhythms of Bozeman life.
-
Clients typically start by filling out our online contact form, or they can call if they prefer. They’ll be greeted warmly by our admin team, who helps match them with the therapist that best fits their needs—or the one specifically requested—and schedules a convenient phone consultation. This first step ensures you feel seen, supported, and guided right from the start.
-
The initial consultation is a 15–20 minute phone session focused on answering questions, checking insurance, and making sure there’s a good fit. We also connect as people, sharing a bit about our approach and personality. By the end of the call, clients usually feel confident, informed, and ready to begin the work that matters most to them.
-
Treatment planning is fully collaborative. Your goals, needs, and life realities guide every step. Depending on your therapist, you may engage in practical activities outside of sessions and use real-life tools to support in-session learning. Online sessions are available as needed, making therapy flexible for the demands of Bozeman life.
-
Our sessions combine evidence-based approaches, including mindfulness, somatic therapy, CBT, ERP, I-CBT, narrative therapy, parts work, and motivational interviewing. Interventions are always delivered in a trauma-informed and neurodivergence-informed way. We bring our full selves to the work, blending professional expertise with personality and human connection. Every session is tailored to support your growth and resilience in daily life.
-
Progress is measured both through assessments, achieved therapy goals and self-reflection. We help you notice changes, celebrate successes, and understand how skills learned in session show up in real life. This ongoing reflection ensures growth is visible, meaningful and personally relevant.
-
When therapy concludes, our focus shifts to independent use of skills and integration. We encourage a balanced, holistic lifestyle—linking clients to nutrition, primary care, movement, community involvement, and other supports as needed. Many clients find ways to integrate their therapy into Montana life, whether that’s through outdoor adventure, creative pursuits, or meaningful community engagement.
