My name is Lida Running Crane and I have recently transitioned to private practice after being a clinician at a local agency working primarily with our local urban Indigenous community for just short of nine years. I subsequently co-founded Aitapissko Counseling Collective LLC, the shared professional home in which my colleagues and I continue to offer quality mental health and addiction counseling to our local community. I earned my masters in counseling from the University of Montana in 2016 with my NCC, became an LCPC in 2018, and an LAC in 2020. My professional experience is rooted in a foundation of strength-based, emotionally-focused, culturally-relevant, trauma-informed care. I work with both individuals and couples to provide support as we move towards experiencing challenging emotions that realign healthy and empowering connection and relationship both to oneself and others. I believe in a person's natural ability and desire to grow towards healing and look forward to working to support you along that path. I look forward to meeting you and am excited to begin working together.
