ABOUT Dr. Alexis Anderson
For twenty years, I've helped teen girls and women navigate emotional challenges and important life transitions. My work is grounded in curiosity, careful listening, and the belief that meaningful psychiatric care begins with understanding.
I’m raising two teenage daughters, and navigating the midlife years myself. These experiences shape how closely I listen to a teenager who feels overwhelmed and to a woman whose life has begun to feel unlike her own.
I value long-term therapeutic relationships and helping people make sense of experiences that often feel confusing or disconnected. There is nothing more rewarding than hearing, "I finally understand what's happening," and watching someone begin to feel like herself again.
I completed residency training in Adult Psychiatry at Yale University and fellowship training in Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the University of California, San Francisco. I've been in private practice since 2008 and I practice in Bozeman, Montana and care for patients throughout Montana by telehealth.
my approach
integrative care
Psychotherapy, thoughtful prescribing of psychiatric medications, and lifestyle strategies come together into one ongoing relationship. Sleep, hormones, school or work, relationships, and family are considered alongside your symptoms, in collaboration with your pediatrician, OBGYN, or primary care clinician.
Rather than fragmented care across disconnected providers, you have one physician who considers the whole picture.
psychotherapy
I combine psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). Psychodynamic psychotherapy helps you understand how past experiences and unconscious influences shape your emotions, relationships, and self-worth, addressing issues like perfectionism, shame, and life transitions. CBT provides practical tools for anxiety, depression, ADHD, and stress.
I use these approaches with teen girls and adult women, adjusted to where each person is in life.
teen girls & families
I typically meet with each teen girl weekly, bringing psychotherapy and psychiatry together in a relationship she can trust.
Parents know their daughter in ways that complement what I learn from her. I meet with parents regularly to hear what you’re seeing, discuss what to expect, and help you support her while respecting her privacy and our therapeutic relationship.
When helpful, we include family therapy—a space to work through the conversations that are hardest to have at home.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Integrative psychiatry looks at the whole person, not just a list of symptoms. I consider biology, sleep, stress, relationships, and your life story, and I combine psychotherapy with medication management when medication is helpful.
-
Adult women. The first visit is a 60 minute, unhurried conversation about what brings you in, your history, and what you hope will change. By the end, I give you my impressions and we agree on a plan together.
Teen girls and families. The first session is 60 minutes spent with your daughter. The second is with you, her parents. In the third, we typically meet as a family, and I share my impressions and treatment recommendations.
-
Comprehensive psychiatric evaluation, psychotherapy, medication management when it’s needed, and lifestyle strategies. For teens, regularly scheduled follow-up with parents as well as family therapy when helpful. I coordinate care with your other clinicians.
-
Yes, when medication is the right fit. Every option is discussed openly, including the benefits, the risks, and the alternatives. Nothing is rushed, and you (and a teen’s parents) are always part of the decision.
