Behavioral Health in Private Practice- Joseph Boyle, LCSW, LLC

LCSW Serving Residents of Montana/Washington for Individual, Couples, and Family Therapy For this reason, I also offer a sliding scale fee!

I have lived in the Missoula and surrounding SW Montana region the last 10 years with my rescue German Shepherd named Lily. I am a Griz Alumni and proceeded to complete my Master's of Social Work (Clinical Focus) from Walla Walla University in 2022. After becoming licensed as a Social Worker Licensure Candidate in both the states of Montana and Washington, I am proud to offer individual, couples, family, and group talk-therapy in both virtual and in-person settings to both Montana and Washington residents. Though I do accept most insurance providers, it is my goal to make talk-therapy as accessible as possible for all those who would benefit from seeking help. At this time I am able to offer a variety of different therapeutic modalities depending on what would be a good fit for you. Common constructs I see with my clients, though not limited to, include:
-Depression & Anxiety
-Anger & Aggression Management
-Burnout & Stress Resolution
-Establishing, Maintaining, & Repairing Relationships
-Substance Abuse & The Harm Reduction Model
-Working Through Trauma & Maladaptive Attachment
-Grief & Loss
-Implementation of Self-Care & Setting Life Goals

If you believe you are someone who may benefit from engaging in therapy, please feel free to reach out via email or telephone. I am proud to offer a free consultation to ensure you would be a good fit for my services!*

*Fully Insured and Supervised by an LCSW*

In my personal life, you can find me playing/writing music, going for hikes, rollerblading with my dog, or taking a motorcycle ride through the vast open lands Montana has to offer.

Did you guys know that the months of January-March are some of the toughest weeks of the entire year?
-Spike in divorce filings
-Spike in people quitting their jobs or changing career fields
-Increased reported rates of depressive/anxious symptomatology
-The dreaded "Blue Monday", known as 'the most depressing day of the year' (third Monday in January)
-Some of the shortest daylight hours
-Increased reports of financial strain
-Spike in common cold/flu and other communicable illness

My PSA for today is to encourage each of you to take on the mantra of "Gentle January/February". It's OK this time of the year to allow yourself to rest. For those of us who are experiencing winter, our primitive brains deep down want two things: 1) As much rest as possible, 2) Consume as many calories as possible. This is conflicting as we feel guilt for feeling internally compelled to slow down.

Some of us find relief in tackling this head on - getting to the gym regularly, being mindful of diet, staying up on household tasks, contractual obligations, self care, etc. Kudos to you!

Remember that BALANCE is just fine! It is OK for now to "skip another day doing laundry" or "leave the dishes until tomorrow", to get in those cozy warm clothes, do lots of cooking, embracing R&R. Why? Because many of us naturally won't feel this way in six weeks! You'll find that when spring rolls around, our volition and desire to want to be more active should naturally increase.

In positive news- those of us here in Montana are seeing approximately 2 more minutes of sunlight per day. That's an extra half hour almost every two weeks! It may feel that we don't have much to look forward to right now, but let's think down the line...do we NEED something concretely to look forward to right now? What's wrong with trying to embrace some rest and relaxation? Why do I NEED to make such significant changes in my life right now - am I sure I'm not being impulsive?

Thinking to ourselves, what are some (reasonable) personal goals you'd like to achieve during this time? Or for spring?

My goals are to make small dietary changes, make a sleep schedule goal (7-8 hours per night), and limit imbibing actions that exacerbate lethargy/depressed mood. I am also, always this time of year working on letting go and being more OK with not being as active as I normally am. (Do I need to feel guilty for passing on the gym today?)

If you feel like you are struggling with depressive, anxious, or other adverse mental health issues, please feel free to reach out. Starting this week, I've expanded my private practice one more day per week, and am excited to share I am openly accepting new referrals. You can reach me via text or call at (406) 351-0010. I accept most insurance plans, including Medicaid/Medicare.

Take care everyone! Happy "Gentle" January/February! Be mindful of the changes you are making, and show yourself some grace for taking life slow right now.

Good Morning All!

Holiday season is upon us!... For some this brings relief, for others a unique amount of stress. I hope you all stay warm as the temperature keeps dropping, and I hope you all had a relaxing Thanksgiving day. I have a ton to be thankful for, and this time of the year is a good reminder to think of these things, allow them to soak in.

At the end of this calendar year I am expecting to increase my business hours, which means I am in the position where I can now accept more clients. If you, a loved one, or a friend are looking for a therapist here in Montana - I continue to offer both in-person and virtual sessions for individual, couples, and family therapy. On top of sliding scale fees, I continue to offer in-network services with the following insurance providers:
- MT Medicaid
- MT Medicare
- Healthy Montana Kids
- AETNA
- Allegiance
- Blue Cross Blue Shield
- Cigna
- First Choice Health Network

- Pacific Source
- United

Feel free to call or text me at (406) 351-0010 to schedule your intake!

Hope to hear from you soon.

Staying cool?? Holy smokes - and no pun intended!

I want to extend a thank you/well wishes to all of our wildland firefighters, public safety officers, and other first responders who are dealing with the ramifications of the Miller Peak Fire in our SW Montana region. Also, I would like to thank these same entities who worked so quickly to 100% contain the East-Missoula fire that came about on yesterday's date near Deer Creek. A little close for comfort...!

Your job ain't easy! We all figured this fire season was going to be a bear..and well, it hasn't disappointed thus far. Things at time feel rather dreadful - seeing our rivers reach expected record lows, high temperature records, no suspicions of any incoming precipitation, and breathing in all of this smoke already.

If you, a friend, a loved one, or anyone needs extra support - I am happy to try and help. I have approximately 5-6 openings left in my practice at this time; and I accept most private insurances, as well as Medicaid/Medicare/Healthy Montana Kids.

Stay cool, stay safe, and stay hopeful!

I can be reached at any time at (406) 351-0010. Face-to-face and virtual sessions offered.

Evening all-

Congratulations to us for making it through the 10 darkest weeks of the last 12 months...with negative temps on top of it, yikes.

The "final stretch" of Winter here in Montana can be brutal on the mind. If you or someone you know is interested in therapy, do reach out. I have a handful of slots during the week I am planning to fill. I accept majority of private insurances, as well as offer sliding scale. In-person and telehealth appointment options... I appreciate you all for spreading the word!

Best,

JB

Hi all! Hope your October has been treating you well. This time of year can be tricky for many of us - kids are in school, weather is starting to change, holidays around the corner, etc. More importantly, especially for us in Montana, this is when the cold weather starts to set in, and we say goodbye to the sun. Don't let those winter blues bring you down before you link up with a therapist! I know how difficult it is trying to find a therapist these days, so I wanted to let everyone know!...I currently have some availability for therapy both in-person and virtually. If you're interested in a consultation or getting scheduled, maybe you'd like to refer a family member or friend, you can reach me at (406) 351-0010. (Montana and Washington residents only)

Take care everybody!

Hi Missoula folks-

I’m creating & facilitating a new therapeutic support group at my office location here in town. Could you help me spread the word? As always, I’m interested in your thoughts!...

It’s called “Integration of Extraordinary Events” - We meet once per month at times TBD. Our first meeting is tentatively scheduled for the last week of October.

The reason I created this support group was out of response to some of the shares within my private therapy practice. It seems there is potentially a niche need for this type of material.

In a nutshell, this is a voluntary support group for individuals who have experienced what I like to refer to as “extraordinary events”. These are events that otherwise cannot be explained logically or clinically. Examples of “extraordinary events” can include, but are not limited to:
-Near death experiences
-Paranormal activity: apparitions, visions, spiritual encounters, alleged visitations from the deceased, etc.
-Future projection/visions or past life beliefs
-Extra-terrestrial encounters
-Out-of-Body experiences
-Other metaphysical experiences

Our Mission at the Integration of Extraordinary Events Support Group is to foster a safe, welcoming environment for individuals to share their lived experiences with others in a dignified, validating manner that respects the worth of the individual. This is for the purpose of exploring group support on how to best integrate these experiences into our day-to-day lives. Our facilitators do not have the answers as to why we have lived these experiences, their causes, though desire to foster and facilitate a group environment to collectively discuss these concepts whilst promoting coping strategies on how to process/move forward in an appropriate manner. Though there may be elements of spirituality in the content of our experiences, please note this group is not aligned with any specific religious or spiritual denomination/sect.

To reiterate - the purpose of this is not to pathologize a person. It’s an effort to help those who have had these experiences find a sense of community with others who share similar lived events. It’s incredibly difficult to share with people this sensitive information; and we are all aware of how the world treats people who come forward with a potentially bizarre or illogical claim.

Structurally, the group will consist of open shares, collective thinking, exploring coping mechanisms, promotion of communication to others, and discuss evidence-based methods of processing these experiences.

If you have any questions please reach out! I understand there may be some push-back from the community based on the content; I am open to all feedback or interest.

How to Sign Up/Refer Clients?

Contact Joey Boyle at (406) 351-0010 or joseph.f.boyle.96@gmail.com to indicate your interest and schedule an intake with me prior to attending the group. Cost of attending this support group is $25 per two-hour session, or in some cases insurance may be able to be utilized. This can be discussed during your intake. Looking forward to hearing from you!

Afternoon Everyone!

I am writing to confirm that the rumors are true! Due to high demand and efforts to expand my therapy practice, I am now offering in-person sessions at my newly secured office space here in the Missoula community. (Yes, I still offer virtual appointments!)

I am currently accepting new clients at this time... if you know of anyone in the community searching for a therapist, please feel free to refer them if you'd like!

Take care everyone, see you soon! Hope you all had a relaxing long-weekend.

As always, thank you all for the support- and to my clients, see you soon at the new office space!

Evening Everyone!

I wanted to take a moment and wish you all a very Happy Thanksgiving/Holidays! I am grateful for so much, and spent my Thanksgiving weekend this year in Spokane - maybe I crossed paths with you in the Manito Turkey Trot? Overall, it was quality company, good conversations, and lots of positive energy. I am feeling quite recharged...though for many, sometimes Holidays can look different.

Holiday season is tricky sometimes and for a variety of reasons: Are you dealing with stressors in the family, strained relationships? Seeing the changing of health/ages of loved ones, maybe there's some financial difficulties, or you're trying to work out custody of the children? Many of us have to travel, acquiring and wrapping gifts; and before you know it, it's over. A culmination of stress with the overbearing concept of "this is supposed to be relaxing".

How do you handle these stressors? Are you coping in healthy ways? How can you make your holidays work for you? Don't wait until the straw breaks the camels back - there is no shame in speaking with someone to process some of the adversities you may be feeling.

I currently have virtual openings for ages 13+ and accept most major insurance companies (with the exception of Medicaid/Medicare). Feel free to private message me any time for any inquiries you may have!

Take care everyone.

Exciting news, clients, followers, and friends! As promised, I would like to update you all that I have achieved my Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist Certification! This has always been a passion of mine, and I want to thank my supervisor personally for providing the means to make this happen. In addition, I just heard from the Washington State Dept of Health that I have been approved for my clinical social worker associate license! This means, for all of you Washingtonians, I am able to provide telehealth therapy for individuals, couples, and families. I currently have some openings during the week, if you, a friend/loved one, or someone you know may be interested in some therapy sessions. Residents of Montana and Washington only 🙂

I hope you all have a great weekend!
