Holistic Mental Health Care for Kids and Teens

Thoughtful care for complex kids.

At Montana Whole Health, we provide thoughtful, integrative mental health care for children and adolescents.

Holistic mental healthcare is a comprehensive approach that treats the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—rather than just focusing on specific symptoms or a clinical diagnosis. It is based on the principle that mental well-being is deeply interconnected with physical health, lifestyle, family support, and social relationships.

A different kind of mental health care.

At Montana Whole Health, we don't just treat symptoms. We treat the whole person.

We work on the root causes of mental health problems

We look at the whole picture to understand why your child is struggling. We assess things like blood sugar balance, inflammation, neurotransmitter function, nutrient deficiencies, hidden medical problems, stress management strategies and so much more.

We offer individualized care that looks at the whole person

We have no ``one-size-fits-all protocol.`` Every single patient gets a customized plan using nutrition, botanical medicine, lifestyle support, targeted supplementation, parenting strategies, classroom modifications, and even medications if necessary.

Our focus: safe, gentle, evidence-based & effective treatments

Our approach prioritizes therapies with the best evidence, fewest side-effects, and that fits the needs of the child. We work alongside psychiatrists and specialists so we can optimize care.

What is Holistic Mental Health Care?

Naturopathic medicine addresses the many factors that affect our mental health.

What makes our approach different

Whole-person focused
Many families come to us after trying to manage symptoms without lasting improvement. Rather than focusing only on anxiety, attention, or behavior, we take time to understand the whole child: body, mind, emotions, family, and environment. This thoughtful approach allows care to be tailored to each child’s unique needs and supports meaningful, sustainable progress.

Integrative, not either-or
We blend conventional medical care with evidence-based natural medicine. Medication, when appropriate, is combined with nutrition, lifestyle, supplements, herbal medicine, counseling, parenting tips, classroom modifications, and functional evaluation. We find that this strategy makes medication work better, and helps promote long-term mental health better than medication alone.

Collaborative by design
We work alongside mental health counselors, psychiatrists, neuropsychologists, occupational therapists, pediatricians, psychologists, teachers, school counselors and administrators. You don’t have to coordinate everything alone.

Focused on long-term wellbeing
The goal isn’t just symptom control; it’s helping children and teens build emotional regulation, confidence, and sustainable mental health. Care is designed to support growth over time, so kids are better equipped to navigate stress, relationships, and life transitions as they mature.

Here’s what to expect:

A Deep Dive Intake

Your first visit is 45-60 minutes. We listen. We ask about everything: diet, sleep, gut health, family history, school, stress, genetics. We genuinely want to hear about all the different factors in your child's life.

Comprehensive Testing (When Needed)

We offer lab testing that goes beyond standard bloodwork. This can include testing for nutrient deficiencies, neurotransmitter levels, gut health, mitochondrial function, MTHFR/SNP genetic profiles, and more. All of these help uncover hidden contributors to your child's mental health.

A Personalized Plan

You leave with a clear, actionable care plan built specifically for your child. Most importantly, we make sure that the plan is doable and fits your life, your values, and your goals for your child. No generic protocols here!

Ongoing Partnership

We monitor progress, adjust the plan, and stay in your corner as your child improves. Our practice is collaborative by design, and we welcome input from your child's counselor, teacher, psychiatrist and neuropsychologist.
