Dakota Milligan, MS, LCPC
I work with the LGBTQ+ population and neurodivergent (ADHD, ADD, autism-spectrum) people specifically because I believe that these populations deserve specialized support from a counselor who is both an understanding partner and advocate.
I view my clients’ narratives through the lens of their own lived experience and seek to understand their unique perspective. Some people may have doubts about whether counseling can work for them because they have trouble identifying or communicating their emotions. I don’t believe this is a disqualifier for getting support, nor an obstacle to engaging in the life changing experience of counseling. Sitting in a room (or on a screen if you prefer) with another person who can help you both tap into and manage emotions allows you to not just “feel your feelings” but also to move through them. When we do this, we find a new understanding of ourselves, our situations and our relationships with others.
Dakota works with individual teens and adults (including young adults), as well as couples. In particular, he supports members of the neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ communities. He sees clients via telehealth and in-person in Bozeman and Missoula.
Maggie Gordy, MA, PCLC
Everyone has a story to tell. I help my clients feel comfortable and more confident in their story. No matter what twists and turns your life has taken, you have intrinsic value. I see that worthiness in all of my clients. I help you feel confident in yourself and equipped to handle the stressors that inevitably come up in your storyline. Everyone deserves to be heard and supported and valued and we all need a little help sometimes. My former career in pharmaceuticals, and interacting with psychiatrists for the last decade, led to my career change to help people more directly through providing counseling.
Maggie works with individual adults, teens and parents, and premarital couples. In particular, she supports those struggling with depression, anxiety and life changes.
Cassie Langstraat, MS, PCLC
If life feels overwhelming, your emotions don’t make sense, or you keep doing things you swore you wouldn’t, that’s not a personal failure;, it’s a sign that something deeper needs attention. My style is warm, collaborative, and direct. I believe healing isn’t about “fixing” yourself, but getting to know your inner world with honesty, compassion, and accountability. I draw from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Internal Family Systems (IFS), focusing on emotion regulation, inner child work, and helping you build a more grounded and compassionate relationship with yourself. If you’re feeling stuck, that doesn’t mean you’re broken. You’re just ready for something to shift, and I’m here to help with that.
Cassie works with teens, parents, individuals, couples, and the LGBTQ+ community.
Maggi Edgar, MS, PCLC
I am passionate about creating a warm, inclusive space where you can show up exactly as you are and feel truly heard and respected. I believe healing starts when you’re met with curiosity, compassion, and no judgment. I will work with you to navigate life’s challenges — whether that’s anxiety, identity, relationships, or transitions — using approaches that honor your unique story and strengths. My style is collaborative, grounded in evidence-based tools, and always centered on your goals.
Maggi works with individual adults, teens and parents, and premarital couples. In particular, she supports those in the LGBTQ+ community and those who identify as neurodivergent.
Monique Schofield, MA, PCLC
Healing isn’t linear, and it isn’t something you have to do alone. I work with people navigating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, and the kinds of life transitions that change everything — including survivors of domestic and sexual violence and those finding their way out of religious or cult-related abuse. I’m EMDR-trained and draw on a collaborative, trauma-informed approach that adapts to your story rather than asking you to fit a model. My style is warm, attentive, and unhurried — a space where you can show up as you are, be heard without judgment, and build the insight, resilience, and meaningful change that carry you forward. She sees clients via telehealth and in-person in Bozeman and Dillon.
Monique works with individual adults, couples, and families, in person in Bozeman and Dillon and via telehealth throughout Montana. In particular, she supports survivors of complex trauma, domestic and sexual violence, and religious or cult-related abuse.
Amanda Simonson, EdD, MS, MA, PCLC
Being a teen is hard — there’s a lot going on internally, and the words to describe it aren’t always there yet. Parents often sense that something is off long before they know what it is. I want you to trust that instinct. Whether it shows up as withdrawing, anxiety, a drop in grades, or pulling away from friends, it’s usually a signal, even when your teen doesn’t fully know what they’re signaling. My work starts with building trust — with the teen and with the parents — so there’s somewhere safe to bring all of it.
Being a parent myself has shaped how I counsel as much as my training has. I don’t believe in fixing teens; I believe in building their confidence, communication, and connection, while supporting parents in staying close without controlling the outcome. With 21 years in education — as a teacher, an administrator, and for the last 13 years as a school counselor across Montana — I’ve spent my career in the middle of exactly this: the crises, the caseloads, and the quiet moments of real connection that make the work worth it.
Amanda works with teens, parents, and families, drawing on her background in school counseling, crisis response, and trauma-informed care. In particular, she supports the parent-teen relationship — helping families rebuild trust and connection when anxiety, depression, or trauma have gotten in the way. works with individual adults, teens and parents, and premarital couples. In particular, she supports those struggling with depression, anxiety and life changes.
