A Compassionate Guide on Your Healing Journey
I am Kristine S. Miller, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 30 years of experience in mental health, specializing in trauma-informed, integrative therapy for individuals and couples. My approach is deeply rooted in the belief that human responses to trauma, emotional pain, and life transitions are adaptive and meaningful. Rather than viewing clients as broken or in need of fixing, I see therapy as a collaborative process where healing unfolds when individuals are provided with safety, respect, and the space to reclaim agency and self-trust.
A defining moment in my journey as a therapist was when I met Dr. Steven Vazquez and experienced Emotional Transformation Therapy (ETT®) firsthand during one of his seminars. This transformative experience reshaped my understanding of healing and reinforced my commitment to approaches that combine neuroscience with lived experience, focusing on the nervous system’s natural ability to heal when given the right conditions.
I am deeply passionate about offering therapeutic work that honors the unique needs of each client. Therapy with me is paced and collaborative, focusing on creating a safe space where you can explore your emotions, connect with your deeper wisdom, and uncover new possibilities. I value transparency, consent, and clear boundaries in the therapeutic relationship, and I work best with individuals who are ready for deep, thoughtful healing and are not interested in rushed solutions.
Having spent many years working in diverse settings, I’ve always felt drawn to the beauty and vastness of Montana, and I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to establish Moonwater Integrative in this remarkable place. I believe in a therapy that is grounded, ethical, and human—one that holds a space for you to rediscover your true self.

A Journey of Healing and Transformation
Moonwater Integrative was born from a personal calling—an intentional choice to create therapy that honors healing, dignity, and the root causes of trauma and emotional pain. We wanted to provide trauma-informed care for individuals seeking meaningful transformation beyond symptom management. Our path has included extensive training in somatic therapies, nervous system regulation, and attachment-based approaches. With nearly 30 years of clinical experience and a commitment to continuing education, we established Moonwater Integrative in 2021 to offer healing-based, relationally-informed, and ethically-grounded care. Through neuroscience modalities like ETT® and KAP, we hold space for respect, dignity, presence, and the courage it takes to heal. Montana's Flathead Valley is home to our practice, and we're honored to serve individuals across the state who are ready to reclaim their wholeness and move toward transformation.
