Talk

In-person talk therapy in Bozeman. Conversations built for what needs to shift.

Your stories matter. Talking about what brings you joy, what hurts your heart, the fears holding you back and the possibilities calling you forward — we listen for the truth beneath the surface, the language of the body, and notice the patterns repeating throughout your everyday life.

Because what needs to shift is often deeply embedded. 90-minute sessions allow the time, depth, and spaciousness real growth requires.

Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.
— Carl Jung

This work doesn’t ask you to fix yourself.

It asks you to meet yourself with compassion and curiosity. Not judgment. Not with a need to fix. Or to become someone new. Just meeting yourself as you are.

Growth isn’t always about learning more. Sometimes it’s finally believing what you already know.

To listen to the stories your mind tells and the stories your body holds. To remember what is true for you.

Because symptoms aren’t problems to fix. They’re signals worth paying attention to.

Do you talk to yourself as you would to someone you love?

So pause for a moment.

Notice the thoughts.

The quality. The tone. The pace.

The way you speak to yourself and the stories you tell matter. Because the stories we repeat become the lives we live.

Together, we work to:

  • tell your stories

  • learn, unlearn and relearn your beliefs

  • identify what is and is not nourishing you

  • rediscover yourself and reconnect with purpose

An integrative and individualized approach

Every session is shaped by you. Here are the tools I bring for your mind, body, and soul.

TALK THERAPY

Words are the beginning.

The stories we tell, and the ones we don’t, hold the map. Together, we listen for both.

EMDR

The body holds what the mind protects.

Attachment-Focused EMDR helps process what talk alone can’t reach. The memories, patterns, and beliefs living beneath awareness.

SOMATIC AWARENESS

The body is always speaking.

We learn to listen. To notice what tightens, what softens, what the nervous system is trying to say.

NATURE-BASED THERAPY

Step outside, disconnect from the noise, reconnect with your true nature.

Movement, fresh air, and the natural world are not additions to the work, they are the work.

GRIEF WORK

Loss deserves its own space.

However life didn’t unfold as expected, grief is honored here, not managed.

MINDFULNESS & MEDITATION

Ancient tools for modern unraveling.

Breathwork, yoga therapy, meditation, and the wisdom of the traditions woven in where they serve.

RESOURCE TAPPING

Hard times call for simple support.

This is a gentle and accessible tool to help reconnect with safety and stability in times of stress.

WALKING & RUNNING THERAPY

Motion evokes emotion.

As heat builds in the body, defenses soften and the deeper truths buried beneath begin to surface.  Sometimes the miles are where things start to move.

About Mary Beth

It’s never been about accolades, though I’m appreciative for opportunities to talk about my work more widely, including invitations to present at national conferences such as the 2024 Integrative Mental Health Conference in Rhode Island and the 2025 New England Mental Health Conference. 

What that means for you:  You are talking with someone who is engaged in the field, committed to thoughtful, innovative care, and passionate about the work we do together.

Growth happens here

“I have been to a dozen individuals over the course of my 55 years, from psychiatrists to mental health counselors. Mary Beth is extremely intuitive and compassionate.
