Mindfulness Training | bozeman montana
Dr. John Christopher provides Mindfulness, MBSR and MSC to clients who are interested in this approach to healing. Mindfulness principles have been passed down in Eastern traditions for centuries. Now contemporary research findings in Neuroscience and Psychology are proving empirically that these healing practices are effective in treating psychological problems. Mindfulness, simply put, is non-judgmental awareness and acceptance of moment-to-moment experiences in our daily lives.
MBSR Training In-Person or Virtually
Developed at the University of Massachusetts Medical Center in the 1970s by Professor Jon Kabat-Zinn, Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction uses a combination of mindfulness, body awareness, meditation, and yoga to help people become more mindful. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction is a behavioral medicine program designed to assist people with a variety of stress and health-related issues. Mindfulness-based interventions have now been extensively researched in over 3000 publications, including nearly 100 randomized controlled trials, and have been found to be effective in helping people with a wide variety of physical and psychological conditions.
Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC)
Mindful Self-Compassion™ (MSC) Is an empirically-supported 8-week program designed to cultivate the skill of self-compassion. It combines mindfulness and self-compassion to enhance our capacity for emotional well-being. Please inquire with Dr. Christopher directly about this program.

Montana Virtual Therapy
We believe that the best therapy is counseling which allows you to easily engage with your licensed mental health professional.

We make virtual appointments simple for our clients who live in Bozeman and throughout the state of Montana using our secure HIPPA-compliant platform SimplePractice. Our therapists are trained to provide high-quality video counseling services and can treat most difficulties using virtual therapy. According to research, remote counseling sessions are just as effective for clients as in-person office visits, however, it might not be the best fit for your individual needs. Send us an email to learn more. We work with clients throughout the state of Montana

How To Find The Right Therapist For You In Bozeman Montana
It can feel overwhelming when you decide to work with a therapist. Our modern world makes finding a therapist online somewhat easier, but there are so many qualified therapists to choose from. Many people begin their therapy search using a popular website called Psychology Today because there are many search options, which makes the process somewhat more streamlined, but still challenging. You may want a counselor with certain skills or life experience, or gender, race, or religion may also play a role for you. When searching for a counselor or psychologist in Montana, it’s important to find someone who not only has the skills, experience and training to help you with your concerns but also someone with whom you feel comfortable—therapists call this a “good fit.” Finding the right therapist for you is the most important aspect of effective therapy and healing, as healing tends to happen in the context of supportive and corrective relationships. If you have been referred by a friend, colleague, or physician, we will consider this as well. If we do not feel like we are a good fit for you, we will always make a referral to other experienced counselors within the community.
After you reach out, you will be sent electronic versions of our intake paperwork, which includes confidentiality, policy, and insurance information to be completed prior to your first session. If you will be conducting sessions virtually or online, you will be sent a link prior to your session time. When working virtually, we use a HIPPA-compliant video conferencing platform called SimplePractice, which we think is easy and convenient to use. Early sessions will be an opportunity to get to know you better and to clarify your counseling goals. Typically sessions are weekly as this gives you the opportunity to develop a relationship with your therapist. Sometimes, if you are experiencing a personal or professional crisis, you may need to meet more frequently. Experience tells us that therapy is most effective when it is weekly and consistent. As treatment goals are met, you will have the opportunity to reevaluate your ongoing counseling needs.
