Hi, I’m Kelli Smith

I’m a licensed clinical professional counselor residing in beautiful Montana. I own Big Sky Counseling LLC and specialize in treating OCD and related anxiety disorders. It is a privilege and joy to compassionately connect to my clients and offer an empathetic experience as we move through evidence-based treatment toward healing together. Please inquire regarding availability as I typically carry a waitlist.

  • This is hard stuff! But it gets easier and I am always in awe of the courage my clients demonstrate as they pursue freedom from OCD and anxiety. As a Mom to an awesome kid with OCD I am dedicated to connecting Montanans with OCD to evidence-based care. I work with ages 14+ via telehealth and in-person.

    I also offer consultation services for mental health professionals throughout the country who are seeking support and education to treat clients experiencing OCD and anxiety with individualized, compassionate, evidence-based practices. I love connecting with colleagues and hold absolute gratitude toward professionals who prioritize lifelong learning and growth!

    When I’m not working I’m a busy Mom to four amazing kids and love spending quality time with my wonderful husband. I’m fluent in The Office and Friends quotes. Disneyland is my happy place (shout out to Guardians and Rise of the Resistance as the best rides, hands down!). I tackle life’s hard moments with lots of humor, some tears, and loads of Diet Coke (with coconut creamer, obviously). I hold tight to hope and believe we all deserve to lead a deeply meaningful life with healthy coping in place to move through the inevitable struggles we each face.

    We’ve got this! Together.

Hi, I’m Ashley Schwartzman

Welcome! My name is Ashley Schwartzman, MS, LCPC. I graduated with my masters degree in clinical mental health therapy from The University of the Cumberlands.  I currently offer telehealth sessions to counseling clients across the state of Montana.

  • I believe a strong therapeutic relationship between client and clinician is the first essential building block in client growth and change. The relationship is fostered through authenticity, empathy, and trust. 

    My passion lies in working with individuals ranging from children as young as 6 years old to adolescents and adults, providing compassionate and effective therapy to help them overcome their challenges and live fulfilling lives. I strive to foster authentic connections to support client growth and change. 

    As a Montana native, I cherish spending time with my family and children, cheering on the Montana Grizzly football team, exploring the great outdoors through hiking, indulging in a good book, and coaching soccer. 

    I have gained valuable experience through my clinical work and continue to stay updated on the latest research and techniques in the field. I look forward to supporting you in your journey toward improved mental and emotional health.

Hi, I’m Hannah Watson

Welcome! My name is Hannah Watson, MS, LCPC. In life, things can feel difficult and complicated. That's why I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals seeking guidance, healing, and personal growth. Through therapeutic interventions, I am here to help you navigate life's challenges, explore your emotions, and work towards meaningful change.

  • I obtained my Master’s degree in 2023 from Wake Forest University and am now providing clinical counseling services in both Montana and Georgia via telehealth.

    I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental space for clients to explore their thoughts and emotions, and to work towards developing coping strategies and problem-solving skills. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my partner and our dogs. Traveling is a passion of mine, as I love exploring new places and meeting new people. I also enjoy reading, fishing, and scuba diving in my spare time.

    I understand how challenging life can be, and that sometimes we all need a little help. I am in your corner whether you’re looking to discuss your goals, overcome life's hurdles, improve your mental health, or compassionately connect to someone who can support you in your caregiver responsibilities. I would love to connect to see how I can help you feel your best!

Hi, I’m Zoie Zundel

Welcome! My name is Zoie Zundel, MS, LCPC. I earned my Master’s in Mental Health and Rehabilitation Counseling from Montana State University Billings and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology, with a minor in Sociology, from Montana State University. I currently offer telehealth sessions to counseling clients across the state of Montana.

  • I believe that a strong therapeutic relationship is the foundation for growth and change. By fostering trust, empathy, and authenticity, I strive to create a safe space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered.

    I am passionate about working with teens, and adults by providing compassionate, individualized therapy to help clients overcome challenges, build resilience, and live fulfilling lives. I’m proud to have completed Montana’s AHEC Scholars Program, which focuses on serving rural and underserved communities and includes training in behavioral health integration, social determinants of health, and cultural competency.

    I believe therapy should be accessible wherever clients are—at home, in the office, or out enjoying Montana’s outdoors—and I enjoy tailoring my approach to meet each client’s unique needs.

    In my free time, I love exploring Montana’s public lands and rivers, as well as neighboring Idaho’s outdoors. I also enjoy fishing, reading, shed hunting, and painting. I look forward to supporting you on your journey toward mental and emotional well-being.
