About Bozeman Therapy & Counseling

Our story

Bozeman Therapy & Counseling was founded by Julie Menanno, LMFT, LCPC, a therapist who saw firsthand how much healing becomes possible when people feel truly safe and understood in their closest relationships. Julie built the practice around an attachment-based, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) approach, drawing on her clinical training and years of experience working with couples and individuals to help people move out of painful, repeating patterns and into more secure, connected ways of relating. She is also the author of Secure Love, a book that has helped readers understand and repair their relationships through an attachment lens, and she continues to teach, write, and see clients as the practice's founder. What began as Julie's individual practice has grown into a team of trained, like-minded clinicians who share that same attachment-based foundation and bring it to couples, individuals, teens, children, and families. Today, we provide compassionate, relationship-centered therapy from our office in downtown Bozeman, serving clients throughout the Gallatin Valley and across Montana, in person and by telehealth.

We believe lasting change happens in the context of safe, supportive relationships.

Our philosophy

We believe that human beings are wired for connection, and that much of our emotional pain, whether it shows up as conflict, anxiety, disconnection, or self-doubt, is rooted in the attachment relationships that shape us. When people feel emotionally safe and securely connected, they are far more able to heal, grow, and thrive. This understanding sits at the heart of everything we do, and it is what our team helps clients build:

• Stronger, more secure relationships
• Better communication and repair after conflict
• Relief from anxiety, depression, and overwhelm
• A kinder, steadier relationship with themselves
• Healing from trauma, grief, and life transitions

Our approach

Our work is grounded in attachment science and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most well-researched, effective approaches to relationship and emotional healing. Rather than focusing only on surface behaviors or quick fixes, we help people understand the emotional patterns underneath their struggles and create lasting change. Depending on each client's needs, our clinicians also draw on related approaches such as EFiT, Emotionally Focused Family Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and psychodynamic and trauma-informed care.

Why clients choose us

Clients come to us for care that is warm, skilled, and genuinely relational. Our clinicians are trained in evidence-based, attachment-focused methods and committed to ongoing learning. We offer both in-person sessions in Bozeman and secure telehealth throughout Montana, so quality care is accessible wherever you live. Most of all, people stay because they feel understood here.

Who we help

We work with people across many seasons of life, including couples, individuals, families, parents, and teens. Whether you are in crisis or simply want to feel more like yourself, we meet you where you are and tailor care to your goals.

• Couples wanting to reconnect and communicate better
• Individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or life change
• Families and parents seeking more harmony at home
• Children and teens building emotional and relational skills
• Anyone wanting a more secure relationship with themselves

Serving Bozeman and all of Montana

Our office is located at 321 E Main St, Suite 418, in downtown Bozeman. We see clients in person and provide online therapy to adults, couples, and families located anywhere in Montana, from nearby communities like Belgrade, Livingston, and Big Sky to Billings, Missoula, Helena, Great Falls, and rural areas across the state. For many Montanans, distance and winter roads make getting to an office difficult; secure telehealth means you do not have to choose between quality care and where you live. Wherever you are in the state, we would be honored to support you.
