Shaela Wallen, Intern

Therapist In Training

Shaela is a graduate student at Montana State University-Northern in clinical counseling and school counseling. She joined Sweetgrass as an intern in 2023.

Shaela enjoys working with anyone going through a life change. Individuals in transition (graduations, marriage, death, divorce) will find Shaela a calm and curious guide in their journey through the change.

Shaela believes that emotions are not something to be afraid of or avoid; she finds them to often hold wisdom and insight into why we are stuck in patterns we’d rather not be in.  

Shaela is new to being a therapist but has worked with adolescents for many years. She is excited to bring that experience to kid and teen clients as well as adults who are working with their inner children to promote healing. She sees clients in our Columbia Falls location and also over Telehealth. As part of our training program, Shaela offers therapy along a sliding scale, providing individuals with limited means or those who are under-insured a chance to experience quality psychotherapy at a fraction of the price. She works under Dr. Boilen’s close supervision.
