Getting Started

How do I schedule an appointment?

You can schedule an appointment by clicking here to book online. If you have questions before scheduling, feel free to contact us via email at bzntherapy@gmail.com.

Do you offer in-person and online sessions?

Yes. We offer in-person sessions at our Bozeman office, and secure teletherapy (online) for adults, couples, and families when appropriate.

For children, teens, and family therapy, we’ll help you decide whether in-person, teletherapy, or a blend is the best fit based on your child’s age, goals, and what will support the most engagement and progress.

What should I expect in my first session?

Your first session is an opportunity to discuss your goals, concerns, and background. Your therapist will ask questions to understand your needs and work with you to develop a plan moving forward.

Does insurance cover family therapy?

Often, yes… but it depends on your plan. If we’re in-network with your insurance, your session rate is typically discounted to the carrier’s contracted rate, and your out-of-pocket cost depends on your copay, deductible, and coinsurance. If we’re out-of-network, we can provide a Superbill you can submit for possible reimbursement.

Tip: When you call your insurance, ask whether family therapy is covered under your mental health benefits, what your copay/deductible is, and whether pre-authorization is required.

See our Insurance & Fees page for in-network plans, rates, and Superbill details.

How much does family therapy cost in Bozeman?

Costs vary by provider and whether you’re using insurance. Our private-pay rates are $150–$250 per 60-minute session, depending on the clinician. If you’re using in-network insurance, your session is discounted to the carrier’s agreed rate (often around $150/hour), and your final cost depends on your plan. We also offer sliding-scale options when available.

For details and current options, see our Insurance & Fees page.

Do you offer sliding-scale or reduced-fee family therapy?

Yes, when availability allows. We offer sliding-scale or reduced-fee options across services, including family therapy, based on clinician availability and financial need. If cost is a concern, contact us and we’ll discuss current options.

Appointments & Policies

What is your cancellation policy?

We require at least 48 hours’ notice for cancellations. Cancellations made within 48 hours of the session may be subject to a cancellation fee.

How often should I come to therapy?

Session frequency depends on your individual needs. Some clients prefer weekly sessions, while others come biweekly or as needed. Your therapist will collaborate with you on a plan that best supports your goals.

Can I get virtual/online family therapy if I live in Bozeman?

Yes. We offer secure teletherapy for children, adolescents, and families when in-person sessions aren’t possible or practical. Teletherapy can work especially well for busy families, multiple caregivers coordinating care, or when transportation or schedules make in-person difficult. We’ll help you decide if teletherapy is the best fit for your family and may recommend a mix of in-person and online sessions when helpful.

How long does therapy typically last?

The length of therapy varies based on personal goals, the nature of your concerns, and your progress. Some clients attend therapy for a few months, while others choose long-term support.

Other Questions

Is therapy confidential?

Yes. Therapy is completely confidential, except in cases where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if required by law (such as reports of abuse).

What qualifications should I look for in a family therapist?

Look for a therapist who is licensed (or working toward licensure with appropriate supervision), has training and experience in family systems work, and has worked with the concerns you’re bringing in (for example: co-parenting, blended families, teen conflict, anxiety, trauma, behavior challenges).

It’s also reasonable to ask about their approach (ex: attachment-focused, Emotionally Focused Family Therapy), how they structure sessions (whole-family vs split sessions), and how they involve caregivers.

How do I choose a family therapist in Bozeman?

Choosing a family therapist in Bozeman is an important decision, and the right fit can make a meaningful difference. Look for a licensed therapist with specific training in family and child therapy, experience with your family’s concerns, and an approach that emphasizes emotional safety and relationships. It’s also important to consider how caregivers are included in the process, whether your family feels comfortable and respected, and practical factors like scheduling, location, and teletherapy options. An initial consultation can be a helpful way to determine if the therapist feels like the right match for your family.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

Therapy can benefit anyone looking to improve their mental health, relationships, or emotional well-being. If you’re unsure, we offer consultations to help you determine if therapy is a good fit.

How do I know if my family needs therapy?

Families don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Family therapy can help if you’re noticing repeating conflict, disconnection, big transitions (divorce/separation, blending families, grief, moves), a child or teen struggling emotionally or behaviorally, or if communication feels stuck and nothing you try at home is working.

What’s the difference between family therapy and marriage counseling?

Family therapy focuses on the whole family system (parent-child relationships, sibling dynamics, caregiving patterns, co-parenting, blended-family transitions).
Couples therapy / marriage counseling focuses primarily on the partner relationship (communication, trust, emotional bond, conflict patterns).

Some families benefit from a blend (for example: couples work alongside parenting/family sessions).

How long does family therapy take to see results?

It depends on your goals and what’s driving the concerns. Some families notice early improvements in communication and conflict patterns within the first several sessions, while deeper relational repair and new habits can take longer. Your therapist will collaborate with you on goals and recommend a pace (weekly, biweekly, or a mix of individual + family sessions for younger children).

Are there family therapists here who specialize in teen issues?

Yes. We work with tweens and teens and can include family sessions to support adolescent-family dynamics when helpful. See our Teen Therapy page for more detail.

What if I don’t connect with my therapist?

Finding the right therapist is essential for a positive experience. If you don’t feel comfortable with your therapist, we encourage you to let us know so we can help you find a better match.
