Stephanie Hackman, LCPC, is a School-Based Outpatient Therapist, with extensive school-based mental health experience since 2016. She earned her A.S. in Addictions Counseling and B.A. in Psychology from the University of Providence in Great Falls, MT, in 2008, before completing her M.A. in Professional Counseling in 2020. Stephanie is passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and families as part of a multidisciplinary team, with a particular focus on grief, loss, and trauma. Her clinical interests include supporting survivors of domestic violence and high-control groups, as well as perinatal mental health, for which she has specialized training through Postpartum Support International. Her therapeutic approach is person-centered and trauma-informed, with a passion for somatic therapy and the mind-body connection. She uses Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Expressive Therapies to create a space where individuals feel safe, heard, and accepted, fostering connection, resilience, and a renewed sense of self.

Outside of work, Stephanie enjoys writing, reading, theater, and creative pursuits such as art and crochet. She loves hiking the trails around Helena with her husband and two sons and finds inspiration and healing in nature. She also enjoys yoga and curling up with a cozy mystery.
