About Allison

Hi, I'm Alli, a child and family therapist at Bozeman Therapy & Counseling. I work with young children and their caregivers to support emotional regulation, behavior challenges, family stress, and stronger connection at home. My approach is warm, relational, and developmentally responsive, helping children feel safe enough to express themselves and grow.

Alli works with children through child therapy in Bozeman and child-centered play therapy, with older kids in teen therapy, and with parents and whole households in family therapy in Bozeman.

Child and family therapy for support and connection

Many children experience big feelings that show up as overwhelm, meltdowns, anxiety, shutdowns, difficulty with transitions, or challenges with siblings and peers. In therapy, Alli focuses on building trust and helping children feel seen, supported, and understood. She tailors sessions to each child's developmental level and uses engaging, age-appropriate approaches that help them communicate, build confidence, and practice new coping skills. She supports children and families who may be struggling with:

• Emotional regulation and big feelings
• Behavior challenges
• Family transitions
• Anxiety and stress
• Social difficulties with siblings or peers
• Confidence and emotional awareness
• Caregiver-child connection

Working with parents and caregivers

Alli works closely with parents and caregivers throughout the process. Children do best when the important adults in their lives feel supported too, so she offers collaboration, practical guidance, and tools that help therapy carry over into daily life.

Couples therapy with Allison

Alli also works with couples. She has completed the EFT Externship in Emotionally Focused Therapy, takes part in weekly couples therapy training, and is working toward EFT certification. In couples sessions she helps partners slow down the cycle they get caught in, understand what each person is feeling underneath the conflict, and find their way back to each other. Her background with children and families shapes this work: she sees how a couple's connection affects the whole household, and she brings the same warm, attachment-based approach to partners that she brings to parents and kids. Couples sessions are available in person in Bozeman and online across Montana.

Allison's approach to child therapy

Alli's work is attachment-based, relational, and family-focused. She believes meaningful change begins with connection: when children feel emotionally safe, they are better able to explore their experiences, build regulation skills, and strengthen their relationships. She meets each child where they are and creates a supportive space where growth can happen at a pace that feels manageable and effective.

Outside of therapy

Outside of sessions, Alli enjoys spending time with family, reading, staying active, and bringing creativity into her work with children. She cares deeply about helping kids feel capable, supported, and connected, and values partnering with families as they navigate challenges together.
