Missoula is where Sunflower Counseling started. Marie and Kerry, the co-founders, noticed a great need in the community of Missoula to access Mental Health Care. It was just hard to find good counselors because everyone was always full. 

“Therapy in my life has been essential to my development. It literally changed my life. I don’t know where I would be without it! I needed this to get through the hard times. But the key is, you gotta find a good one”

Kerry

“What if we could put a team together of ‘good ones’? And people could actually reach their counselors? And get into an actual appointment?”

“Yes. A place where you could get a personalized sense of individualized care. This might be their first-time accessing help. So this is something we need as a community.”

Find a mental health counselor in Missoula

You don’t have time to make 10,000 phone calls. Especially to find something as basic as a counselor. Sunflower Counseling fills this niche and sets you up with the therapist you need immediately.

Our team of client care coordinators, like Riley and Donalee, will get you the help you need with a local therapist.

The pandemic brought a greater awareness to the value and importance of mental health therapy

This became such a need that some people called Sunflower saying this was the first time they felt the courage to reach out. They were struggling more than usual. They were not getting along with their family members – the people they loved the most. They were so grateful to be set up with a counselor.

Soon, word spread about the great counselors at Sunflower – as we then, with our team of therapists and client care coordinators – began to help thousands of families and people in Montana – and the rest is history. 

Today, Missoula is known for its beautiful downtown area, its close-knit community, and its unique culture

Families have been living in Missoula for generations, and many of them have deep roots in the city’s history.

The magic of working with a local Missoula counselor means a lot because our counselors are invested in seeing our community grow and be healthy. And we know firsthand what it is like right now in Missoula to try and find a place to live! 

What is therapy?

Therapy is processing. Put another way, therapy helps us to slow down. It helps us to discern what are appropriate responses to the constant stresses that come at us in the day-to-day grind.

Life is difficult!

And there are many hats that we wear to deal with various situations. There is the “parent” hat. There is the “business” hat. There is the “friend” hat. There is the “relationship” hat. And so, what seems like an easy problem, is often complex. Hence, processing with a Missoula therapist who can guide you down the path – is priceless.

Think of martial arts.

A big part of martial arts is meeting up with an expert, or an elder, or a guide – who comes to the hero in the form of a Kung Fu Master. In some ways, that’s what this is. It’s becoming a Kung Fu Master over your life and becoming the hero of your own unique story.

Our philosophy is that everyone needs a counselor

Even if you are the president of Russia, (he especially does!)

But you look at all the great people of history, they all had counselors. Even Bruce Springsteen – he has a counselor. He’s had one since he was 16. Metallica has a team of counselors. They probably really need one.

The point is, you’re as important as they are. And we don’t have a revolving door here. We want you to stay – because the real problem you are dealing with might not come out for 20 years! Not to mention there is the day-to-day. Like we’ve been talking about, it’s hard enough right now and then throw in a pandemic.

So our local counselors are here for you, both online and in-person.

Our Missoula team is a diverse group of clinicians who have varying areas of expertise and specialization. Many of our Missoula clinicians see clients in the office setting during regular office hours, and some are available for extended hours to help clients meet their needs and accommodate their schedules.
