Jennifer Martin, MS, PCLC

Being raised on a farm in a rural, northern Montana town, I embodied the narrative of “pick yourself up by your bootstraps,” until I hit my limit. Challenging that notion and turning inward to self-exploration, compassion, and instilling healthy boundary setting was and is a journey! Through this journey and reaching burnout in a career of interior design, I chose to take a leap to express my passion for understanding and supporting people, helping them find/feel safety through earning my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Prescott College. I am licensed by the State of Montana as a Professional Counselor Licensure Candidate, and am under the supervision of Kathryn Bowen, LCPC.

I am honored to sit alongside people navigating life transitions, trauma, problematic tech use, and the daily weight of anxiety, depression, and disconnection. I would be a trickster if I guaranteed an easy road to healing (unfortunately, my magic wand is still on backorder). This process takes work—it requires dedication to yourself outside the therapy room through honesty and gratitude.

Outside the therapy room, I cherish time with my partner and our dog and cat, exploring Montana’s vast landscapes through hiking, alpine skiing, and quiet moments by the water. I feel most myself and most connected to the universe when I’m tucked away in nature, connecting with the earth, listening to the sounds of creatures, and wind sweeping through vegetation. When I’m not in the mountains, I find inspiration and rejuvenation through traveling—stateside and abroad—which reminds me of the shared humanity and diverse ways people find meaning and connection (and that my sense of direction is, at best, optimistic).

I look forward to meeting you!
