Understanding the Montana Experience
Big Sky, Big Pressure, Big Silence
Why Online Therapy Works for Montana Men
Because Geography Shouldn't Determine Your Access to Growth

Who This Serves in Montana
For the Remote Professional in Montana's Growing Tech Hubs
You moved here for the lifestyle, Missoula's culture, Bozeman's access, the ability to do meaningful work without the coast's chaos. But high-performance pressure doesn't respect geography. You're still answering to aggressive timelines, still managing imposter syndrome, still burning out, just with better views. The flexibility you wanted became isolation you didn't plan for. The mountain access doesn't fix the 3am anxiety. The "work from anywhere" dream is starting to feel like "work all the time, alone." You need someone who understands both the tech world you came from and the Montana life you're building. Who gets that moving here wasn't running away, it was running toward something you're still trying to figure out.
For Montana's Industry Professionals
You work in energy, mining, agriculture, construction, forestry, the industries that keep Montana running. You manage crews, make decisions that impact livelihoods, handle pressure that would break most people. But you're exhausted. Not just physically, that you could handle. It's the weight of being the guy everyone depends on while your own foundation is cracking. It's coming home too tired to be present. It's watching your relationships deteriorate while you provide for everyone. You need support that respects what you've built without making you feel weak for needing it. That understands the particular pressure of leadership in industries where showing emotion is seen as liability.
For Montana Entrepreneurs and Business Owners
You built something from scratch in Montana. That takes grit, vision, and the ability to solve problems no one taught you to solve. But that same drive that built your business is starting to cost you in ways that matter more. Your business might be thriving while your marriage is dying. You might be respected in your community while feeling completely alone. You might have financial success and emotional bankruptcy. You need strategic support that treats your personal development with the same seriousness you brought to building your business. That helps you lead your life with the same intention you lead your company.
For Veterans and Military Families in Montana
Montana has a strong military presence and veteran community. You've handled deployments, transitions, the weight of things you don't talk about. You've learned to compartmentalize, push through, complete the mission. But that training didn't prepare you for what happens when the mission is building a meaningful life after service. When the skills that kept you alive overseas make it hard to connect with your family. When hypervigilance that saved your life now keeps you from being present for it. You need someone who understands that asking for support isn't weakness, it's the same courage that got you through everything else.

Montana-Specific Questions
Flexible Options
Safe Space
Confidential
Will online therapy work with my internet?
Most Montana internet connections—even in rural areas—are sufficient for secure video calls. If you can stream video or take a Zoom call, you can do therapy. We use HIPAA-compliant platforms designed to work on varying connection speeds. And if connectivity is ever an issue, we can always default to phone sessions.
What if someone in my small town finds out?
Everything we discuss is completely confidential, protected by HIPAA and professional ethics standards. Online therapy adds an extra layer of privacy—no waiting rooms, no running into people. Your participation in therapy is no one's business but yours.
Do you understand Montana life?
I'm licensed to practice in Montana and work with men navigating everything from rural ranch operations to urban tech careers. I understand the unique pressures of Montana living—the isolation that can come with space, the "figure it out yourself" culture, the seasonal challenges, the beauty and brutality of making a life here. That understanding informs how we work together.
How does scheduling work across different parts of Montana?
Montana operates on Mountain Time, which makes scheduling straightforward. We find times that work with your schedule—whether that's early morning before work starts, during a lunch break, or evening after things settle. Telehealth means you're not adding drive time to the equation.
Getting Started from Montana
Step 1: Free Consultation (30 minutes)
We'll talk about what brought you here, what you're hoping to shift, and whether this approach is right for you. No pressure, no commitments—just an honest conversation about your path forward.
Step 2: Schedule Your Sessions
If we decide to work together, we'll set up a regular schedule that works with your Montana life. Weekly, biweekly, or a custom rhythm that fits your needs and goals.
Step 3: Do the Work
Real change happens when you apply insights between sessions. We'll develop practical strategies you can use immediately in your actual life—not just during our calls.
All from wherever you are in Montana.
Your home office. Your truck. The kitchen table after everyone's asleep. Wherever you can show up for yourself.
You Don't Have to Choose Between Montana and Growth
One of the reasons men come to Montana—or stay here—is because this place doesn't force you to be something you're not. There's space to breathe. Room to build. Permission to do things differently.
The same should be true for your personal development.
You don't have to leave Montana to access the kind of transformative work that creates lasting change. You don't have to settle for whatever limited options exist locally. You don't have to wait months for someone who might not understand what you're actually dealing with.
You just have to be willing to admit that being strong enough to handle everything yourself also means being strong enough to know when a different approach would serve you better.
Montana respects that kind of wisdom.
So do I.
