Hi! I’m Bridgette.
I am the counselor in Great Falls behind Nourish Wellness Therapy, and I’m passionate about helping you discover your best life.
I have spent most of my working days as a high school guidance counselor, while building a side-business as a portrait photographer. I love helping others, and nothing excites me more than an opportunity to utilize my creativity. This unconventional combination of work experience has given me a front-row seat to study motivation, relationships, learning styles, and behavior change, and I incorporate that knowledge in my work with clients.
In 2023, I worked full-time as a counselor in Great Falls at a local health agency, where I realized the need for therapy that felt different. From the atmosphere, to the process, to the client experience…I wanted to incorporate my skills to create a private practice that led the most functional of us to look for more. To invite learning, and yes…(whisper: “therapy”)…aimed at improving and ultimately optimizing life.
My creative side consistently leads me to think outside the box, about different ways to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of therapy, and how to offer the best experience to my clients. Tools I have created include The Nourish Notebook, the Session Reflection Journal, and Keep It Going assignments, all of which, I believe, have added to my clients’ outcomes.
I utilize the above tools along with Cognitive Behavior Therapy and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing) in my weekly sessions with clients, which I have found to be the best combination for growth and healing.
