Let's work together and help you find your direction. My counseling style is highly consultative and coaching-like. It is typically non-directive, as I believe each client pilot's their own ship, but when the situation warrants, there is plenty of idea sharing and strategizing as well.


I have been practicing for 21 years and work with clients of all ages and various backgrounds. I believe that with a strong therapeutic alliance, we can mutually come together and help you find a path forward that suits you.

Zara Hanson

Zara Hanson

Therapist

Virtual • Montana


I’m Zara Hanson, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a passion for helping people reconnect with themselves, heal from the inside out, and show up more fully in their relationships.

My interest in mental health started early, rooted in a curiosity about human behavior and a desire to help others feel less alone in their struggles. I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Research Psychology, followed by a Master’s in Clinical Social Work with a focus on both direct therapy and systems-level care. Over the years, I’ve worked across a range of settings—from community mental health to private practice—supporting individuals, couples, and families navigating complex emotional terrain.

My practice focuses on trauma, neurodivergence (including ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorder), substance use, mood disorders, relationship conflict, and emotional dysregulation. I’m especially drawn to working with clients who want to make sense of their story, process unresolved experiences, and find a more grounded, authentic way of being. I also work with couples to deepen connection, repair trust, and build more effective communication.

Therapy with me is relational, honest, and insight-driven. I aim to meet you exactly where you are, while gently encouraging growth, curiosity, and self-compassion along the way.

Brittany Simonson

Brittany Simonson

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Billings, MT


I’ve worked in addiction counseling, treatment courts, and child protection—which means I’ve seen a lot, learned a lot, and developed a deep respect for the resilience people carry. I also happen to live with ADHD, so I have a soft spot for brains that zig when others zag. Whether you’re neurotypical or proudly outside-the-box, I love helping people untangle the messiness of life and find what works for them.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Montana

Searching for therapists in Montana starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. Across a large state with both urban and rural communities, available care can vary by location, specialty, and appointment format. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship challenges, or life transitions. As you compare Montana therapists, look for specialties and therapy approaches that align with your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care.

Your search may look different in Billings, Missoula, Bozeman, or a smaller Montana community. Some people prefer in-person sessions with a therapist nearby, while others choose virtual appointments for more scheduling options. Beyond specialty, consider whether a therapist is accepting new patients, has appointment times that fit your calendar, and offers a free phone consultation. Reading therapist profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist describes their approach, session style, and areas of focus.

The cost of therapy in Montana can vary, and using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your out-of-pocket costs. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists who accept insurance, view estimated session costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and you can add your plan details to confirm coverage for your location and benefits before you book.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
