About
Kid Counseling Montana specializes in providing playful therapy for children, teens, and families using a variety of therapeutic modalities such as expressive therapies, play therapy, and animal-assisted therapy. These modalities offer a unique and engaging approach to therapy, which allows clients to express themselves freely, explore their emotions, and develop the necessary skills to cope with life's challenges. By using play and other creative forms of expression, therapy becomes a fun and enjoyable experience, creating a safe and comfortable space where clients can heal and grow. The practice is led by Karen Boe, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over nineteen years of experience working with children, adolescents, and families. She holds a BS in Psychology and a MA in Marriage and Family Therapy from George Fox University and is a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor™. Karen's approach focuses on not only the child, but the whole family, recognizing the family as a system, not just individual parts. She believes in empowering families to solve their problems, as they are the experts of their lives, family, and experiences.
