Maurice Pritchard , LCPC

Maurice Pritchard brings decades of experience to his counseling practice, tracing his involvement in the mental health field back to 1983. He earned a Masters degree in 2007 and has worked with individuals and groups for nearly forty years across a variety of practice settings. His background includes work in evaluation and treatment facilities, crisis centers, residential programs, and community mental health centers.

Maurice has provided support to a wide spectrum of people and concerns, including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder - including veterans, grief and loss, crisis intervention, and anger management cases that are sometimes court ordered. He has delivered therapy in individual, couples, and group formats and has addressed many other mental health challenges that people encounter.

His primary theoretical orientation is rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - but he integrates techniques from mindfulness practices, dialectical behavior therapy - DBT, Illness Management and Recovery - IMR, and trait and personality-informed approaches. He emphasizes a client-focused stance, viewing his role as working alongside people to help them pursue meaningful change. Maurice believes that, although change can be difficult, most people have the capacity to make lasting improvements when supported. He is open to working with anyone ready to seek help and currently lives in Montana after extended periods in Washington, New York, California, and Wisconsin.
