Getting to know Derek Bonds

Hello, I'm Derek. I want to offer you my utmost respect and encouragement throughout the therapy process. As a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Montana State University - Billings, I bring a wealth of experience to our sessions. I've worked in various mental health settings, including schools and college campuses, and have taught undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology and counseling at the university level. Additionally, I've supervised graduate interns working towards their licensing hours and managed an outpatient therapy department. My experience as a campus counselor has allowed me to support college students with their personal growth and relationship issues. Having hope is one of the most important motivators to overcome life's challenges. Finding hope can immediately change one's mood from despair to peace. I have significant experience working with anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, motivation, finding purpose, and life transitions. I believe that you are the expert on yourself, but we all need help to move through this life. I will offer you support, encouragement, an outside perspective, and space to explore productive options to get your life heading in the right direction and, most importantly, to find hope. While life presents challenges, I believe that you are fundamentally strong and resilient. I specialize in areas such as anger management, bipolar disorder, children's and adolescent mental/behavioral health, family relationships, grief/bereavement, and trauma. Whether we meet in person or through SonderMind Video Telehealth, my goal is to create a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings. I would like to partner with you on your journey. Please reach out, and let's see if we'd be a good fit together.
