About me
I’m a licensed mental health counselor in Montana with over 10 years of experience supporting youth, families, and individuals through life’s challenges. My background includes working as a secondary school teacher, coach, behavioral and home support staff, and trauma-informed therapist—roles that have shaped my holistic, grounded approach to care.
I work with clients navigating a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, identity exploration, parenting stress, behavioral challenges, and life transitions. I have a particular passion for working with teens, veterans, and underserved communities, and I bring both clinical insight and real-world experience to every session.
My therapy style is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe in treating every person with respect, sensitivity, and authenticity. I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels—instead, I focus on helping you uncover strengths, build resilience, and move toward meaningful change. My approach integrates cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and trauma-informed care, tailored to your unique needs and goals.
It takes courage to seek support and take the first steps toward healing. Whether you're a teen, a parent, or an individual looking for clarity and connection, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and purpose.
I look forward to working with you.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kurt Ruffley. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
Kurt is very professional and makes it easy to open up and talk to him. Would recommend to anyone.
Kurt has helped us through some of the toughest times in our relationship. He listens when you just need to vent and he offers constructive advice when needed.
