Jillian Walker (she/her)

I graduated in 2014 with my M.A. in Counseling Psychology from Framingham State University in Massachusetts and have been devoted to the mental health field for over a decade. I use an integrative approach to meet the individual and specific needs of each person I work with. The methods I use most are drawn from cognitive, narrative, and client-centered theories. I currently provide telehealth in MN and MT. It takes courage to explore pain, move towards growth, and be vulnerable with others. This work is rewarding and necessary to move towards health and wellness for ourselves, and those we are in relationship with. My passion is to partner with those I work with to help them heal from trauma, renew their joy for life, find their authentic selves, and reach their goals in health and wellness. My approach is non-judgmental, open-minded, and focused on instilling hope and confidence. I believe in acceptance, embracing small changes, and taking things one day at a time.

Some of my values as a therapist include compassion, respect, authenticity, non-judgement, empowerment, commitment to ethical practice, collaboration, open-mindedness, and commitment to ongoing learning. We will work well together if you are looking for a counselor who is genuine, trustworthy, flexible, and down-to-earth. Some important issues I support in my personal and professional life include social justice, LGBTQ+ rights, environmental concerns, gender equality, homelessness and housing insecurity, and economic inequality. I believe many of these issues intersect in our lives more than we all realize and connect us all as a local community and global population. In my free time I enjoy being outside, eating tasty food, traveling, and reading good books.
