Dr. Hergenrather received her doctorate in Clinical Psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago in 1989. She completed her internship training at Rush-Presbyterian-St. Luke’s Medical Center in Chicago, with an emphasis on behavioral and health psychology. She joined Montana Neurobehavioral Specialists in 2000 following 11 years of practice in Polson, Montana and Greensboro, North Carolina.
As the only psychotherapist in Montana certified by the Academy of Cognitive Therapy, Dr. Hergenrather brings to MNS a specific expertise in Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). The focus of CBT is the manner in which the individual’s perception of events and experiences impacts mood, behavior and physiological functioning. Relatively short-term and protocol based, CBT has been repeatedly shown to be effective in treating psychological problems, and preventing future relapse. Dr. Hergenrather’s practice is devoted largely to the treatment of major depression, anxiety disorders, post-traumatic stress disorder, bipolar disorder, and insomnia.
Dr. Hergenrather has staff privileges at St. Patrick’s Hospital.
The mother of two daughters, Dr. Hergenrather enjoys fly fishing, gardening, and hiking.
