Tika Elliott, MA, PCLC

Originally from Germany, I have called Bozeman home for more than twenty-five years. Since my early twenties, I have been passionate about personal growth, human potential, and helping others discover their own resilience and inner wisdom. My journey began as a mentor and facilitator of groups and retreats. Then I became a certified woman-centered coach, working with individuals and groups through life's challenges and transitions. That path naturally led me to clinical counseling, allowing me to integrate deep emotional healing with practical tools for lasting change and to create the future that feels important to you.

I believe every person already possesses remarkable strength, wisdom, and the capacity to heal. Sometimes those qualities become buried beneath stress, trauma, loss, or self-doubt. One of the greatest privileges of my work is helping clients reconnect with those parts of themselves and move toward a life that feels more authentic, meaningful, and fulfilling.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. Having experienced significant life transitions myself, I bring not only professional training but also compassion, humility, and a grounded presence. I value building a genuine therapeutic relationship because meaningful change happens when clients feel safe, respected, and truly known. Along the way, I also believe humor, curiosity, and hope have an important place in the healing process.

I work with adults of all ages with a special passion for supporting women navigating life transitions. I help clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, relationship challenges, life transitions, questions of identity, and the search for greater purpose and fulfillment.

Because every person is unique, I tailor therapy to your individual needs and goals. Depending on what will best support you, I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), somatic and nervous-system regulation techniques, and coaching principles. Together, we'll explore not only the challenges you're facing today but also the deeper patterns that may be holding you back, building practical skills to help you move forward with greater confidence and resilience, so you can create the life you are excited about.
