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

  • 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.

Hi, I’m Hannah Watson

That's why I am dedicated to providing a safe and supportive environment for individuals seeking guidance, healing, and personal growth.

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.
