My name is Sarah Albertson, LCPC

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor

I am a Marriage and Family Counselor here in beautiful Bozeman, MT. As a therapist, I strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and productive environment for my clients to explore traumas, attachment, fears, self-esteem and any other concerns and goals they may bring to my office. I strongly believe in empowering clients to see and build on their natural strengths and resiliencies, and I would be honored to work alongside you in your journey, wherever life may have taken you to this point.

I offer effective, confidential individual and couples counseling services from a caring and licensed professional. My hourly rate is $175. I now accept BCBS, Aetna, Allegiance, Cigna, Pacific Source, Mountain Health CoOp, and TriWest. Cash, check, or credit card accepted. Sliding scale is available upon request.

Relationship Counseling

Are you and your partner struggling to connect? Does it seem like attempts on either of, or both, your parts often fall short, or end in disappointment, or further arguing and disconnection?

When we feel cut-off from, or unavailable to, those we love most, it can impact every aspect of our day to day lives. At Meadowlark Counseling, I utilize Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help couples explore the patterns they get caught up in which drive that disconnect and discontentment, and help them establish trust and safety in a closer, more secure, bond.

Treatment for Interpersonal Violence

Have you or someone you love been struggling to heal from incidents of interpersonal violence? Whether it was rape, sexual assault, childhood sexual abuse (CSA), or domestic violence, research shows that trauma caused by interpersonal violence can have powerful, long lasting effects.

Survivors often find themselves struggling to connect to others, to trust those in their lives, and perhaps even more devastating, to trust themselves. The anxiety and mood disorders that often come with trauma survivorship are painful, but they don’t have to be permanent.

Good Faith Estimate

Under Section 2799B-6 of the Public Health Service Act, health care providers and health care facilities are required to inform individuals who are not enrolled in a plan or coverage or a Federal health care program, or not seeking to file a claim with their plan or coverage both orally and in writing of their ability, upon request or at the time of scheduling health care items and services, to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” of expected charges.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.

Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your healthcare provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.

If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.

Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate. For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises

About Me

I am a counselor trained, and currently working toward certification, in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the most researched and highly effective couples therapy available.

I have extensive experience working with survivors of sexual and domestic violence, having worked in both a counseling and victim advocacy capacity with individuals, couples, and families during my time with HAVEN, The Help Center, and MSU’s VOICE Center.

I am also trained in Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), one of the most effective treatments for trauma-related issues. My passion for survivors of interpersonal violence is what got me into counseling in the first place, and it is a passion that continues to this day.

As a Marine Corps veteran, I also have extensive military experience and am familiar with many of the issues individuals and couples face in the military culture.
