Julie Grimm, LPC

(406) 545-2242

Ages: 7 years old and up 
Focus Areas: Exploration of Self, Couples Therapy, Identity and Sexuality, Parenting, Pre-, Peri-, and Postpartum Support, Grief and Loss

Julie recognizes the unique needs and experiences of living, working, and raising a family in our small-town community. Big Sky presents residents, whether long-time locals or new to town, with varied challenges and opportunities for growth.
Julie takes an existential approach with clients, encouraging them to identify opportunities for choice and change, and recognizes that when we, as individuals, couples, or families, experience a lack of ease (disease), it is impossible to live authentically. Unhealthy coping mechanisms can obstruct access to self-worth, self-empowerment, and self-acceptance. Through counseling, clients can learn to understand and embrace their emotional experiences. They can begin to recognize how choices impact well-being. Julie aligns with Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), wherein emotional experiences dictate choice, and our choices are often based on attachment injuries sustained throughout the lifespan.
Every person needs an ally, and counseling allows people to explore, celebrate, and navigate their lives. Counseling services include in-person and telehealth sessions for children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. Julie can support clients experiencing individual or systemic stress, including issues of separation, divorce, infertility, identity and existential crisis, and transition.
Julie accepts out-of-pocket payments and partners with Wellness In Action in using the sliding fee scale for underinsured or uninsured clients. Julie does not accept insurance.
In-person at her office in Big Sky.
Please inquire about appointment availability.
