Abbie Thompson, MS, PCLC

I believe that every individual has an innate capacity for healing. Working from a person-centered perspective, I see you as the expert of your own life. My role is to walk alongside you, providing tools, insights, and compassionate support as you explore your unique path. I integrate attachment theory, parts work, and somatic practices into our sessions to address the root causes of distress and promote deep, lasting change. Together, we’ll explore how early relationships have shaped your patterns of connection and discover new ways to build secure, meaningful relationships in the present. We’ll identify and work with the different parts of yourself that may feel conflicted, hurt, or protective, helping you cultivate self-compassion and inner harmony and through gentle somatic techniques, we’ll focus on reconnecting with your physical self to release stored tension and build resilience.

In our work together, you can expect a warm, empathetic, and nonjudgmental space where your voice matters. I’ll meet you where you are, honoring your pace and needs. Whether you’re ready to dive deep into your past or are seeking strategies to manage the present, we’ll co-create a plan tailored to your goals.

As a Montana girl, I love the space of this state and often will go in search of a place to hang a hammock and soak in the three months of sun we have! I value the friendships and community of Bozeman and rely on these relationships to keep my life grounded and filled with joy. All the time in between, I can usually be found attempting a craft project or searching for live music in Bozeman.

I graduated from Montana State University with a master’s in Marriage, Couples, and Family counseling in May 2024. I am a licensed PCLC in the state of Montana working under the supervision of Kathryn (Kittie) Bowen, LCPC, and Emily Grills, LCPC.

I enjoy working with folks from all ages and stages of life and I work with emphasis on one’s connection to self, body, and community. I believe that the counseling relationship can offer the security we often need to begin finding trust and safety in ourselves. As we build a space of connection and healing together, I am excited walk alongside you in your journey of self-discovery.
