psychiatrist for teen girls & women in Bozeman, montana

Psychiatric care should make room for both what you are experiencing and the life in which it is happening.

I’m Dr. Alexis Anderson, a Bozeman-based psychiatrist providing psychotherapy and psychiatry for women and teen girls by telehealth throughout Montana. My practice focuses on depression, anxiety, ADHD, and attention difficulties, with a particular focus on hormonal transitions, especially perimenopause.

Psychotherapy is part of every appointment, with medication only when necessary. Treatment unfolds within one ongoing relationship, allowing our understanding of your needs to deepen over time.

depression treatment in bozeman, montana

When you seek treatment for depression, we begin by understanding your experience: what has changed, what feels difficult, and how it affects your daily life.

Our work considers your emotional life alongside your history, relationships, sleep, physical health, and relevant hormonal changes. Psychotherapy provides space to explore recurring patterns and difficult experiences while developing practical ways to move forward.

I provide depression treatment for women and teen girls, integrating psychotherapy and psychiatric medication when necessary.

Anxiety Treatment for Women and Teen Girls

Anxiety deserves careful attention to both your immediate difficulties and the experiences underlying them.

I combine psychodynamic psychotherapy and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), bringing thoughtful exploration together with practical tools for daily life. Our work may include perfectionism, self-criticism, uncertainty, relationship difficulties, or the pressures of school, work, parenting, and caregiving.

When medication is necessary, prescribing decisions are informed by that ongoing therapeutic work.

ADHD and Attention Difficulties

Whether you are seeking an ADHD evaluation or care for an established diagnosis, we take time to understand your attention difficulties and their effect on your life.

For women, our conversations may include the demands of work, parenting, household responsibilities, and relationships. For teen girls, we consider school, friendships, family expectations, and growing independence.

Treatment brings psychotherapy, practical strategies, and medication when necessary together in one relationship. Assessment also includes attention to mood, anxiety, sleep, and relevant hormonal changes.

Perimenopause Psychiatry in Bozeman

Hormonal transitions are an area of focus in my practice, especially perimenopause.

I work with women seeking help with mood changes, increased anxiety, insomnia, brain fog, and worsening ADHD symptoms during this transition. We explore what you are noticing, how it affects your daily life, and how it fits with your previous experiences.

Hormone-informed care considers hormonal changes alongside your psychiatric history, physical health, sleep, relationships, and present circumstances. We take time to understand the connections without assuming that hormones explain everything.

Psychotherapy remains central to treatment, with psychiatric medication only when necessary. I do not prescribe menopause hormone therapy. When hormone treatment is part of your care, I collaborate with your OB/GYN or menopause clinician as appropriate.

Teen Psychiatry and Family Support

If you are looking for a teen psychiatrist in Bozeman, my practice offers weekly psychotherapy and psychiatric care for teen girls within a relationship they can trust.

I work with depression, anxiety, ADHD, attention difficulties, perfectionism, and relationship challenges. Our appointments make room for your daughter’s perspective—what feels difficult, what matters to her, and what she may not yet know how to put into words.

Parents see their daughter day to day, giving them a perspective I value and one that complements what I learn from her. I meet with parents regularly to hear what you are seeing, discuss what to expect, and guide how best to support her.

We establish expectations for communication and privacy at the outset. When helpful, we include family therapy—a space for the conversations that are hardest to have at home.

Telehealth Psychiatry Serving Bozeman and Montana

Based in Bozeman, I provide secure video appointments to teen girls and women throughout Montana. Appointments are offered by telehealth, allowing our work to continue from wherever you live in the state.

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 have been in private practice since 2008.

Patients must be physically located in Montana at the time of each appointment.
