Counseling in Bozeman, MT
At Little Bear Counseling, we offer compassionate, attachment-based counseling in Bozeman to help individuals, couples, teens, and families feel more grounded, connected, and supported. Whether life has felt overwhelming, relationships have become tense or confusing, or you’re simply looking for a space to grow, our therapists offer a compassionate place to land.
We’re based in Bozeman, Montana, and serve clients in Belgrade, across the Gallatin Valley as well as telehealth in Montana, Utah and Vermont. Our practice focuses on emotionally focused, attachment-based care—meaning we help you understand your inner world, strengthen your relationships, and feel more confident navigating life.
Emotionally Focused, Attachment-Based Care
People heal through connection—connection to themselves, connection to others, and connection to their own emotional experience. Our therapists are trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), EFIT for individuals, mind-body work, somatic approaches, and trauma-informed care. We support clients seeking counseling in Montana with a style that is slow, deep, and grounding.
We don’t just focus on symptoms—we work with the emotional and relational patterns underneath. If you’ve ever felt like you “should be able to handle it,” or you’ve pushed through but still feel overwhelmed, this approach helps you understand what’s happening inside and build emotional safety from the ground up.

slow enough to help you drop into what’s real
-
structured enough to help you feel safe
