Dr. Green brings a wealth of mental and behavioral health expertise as well as a broad understanding of community needs to this board position.

Park County Community Foundation

Since 1998, Dr. Green has been a homeowner in Livingston, Montana, an area in which she has grown deep roots and connections. Over the years, she has witnessed how unprecedented growth in Park County has led to rising housing costs in Paradise Valley, which has added to mounting economic challenges for working families. She has also seen the effects of the burgeoning national mental and behavioral crisis on the residents of the county. Therefore, she was honored and excited to receive the invitation to join the board of the Park County Community Foundation, a public foundation solely dedicated to the county’s charitable community. The Foundation works in partnership with generous donors and community leaders to bolster the capacity of local nonprofits. Dr. Green looks forward to bringing her many years of mental and behavioral health expertise as well as her broad understanding of community needs to this board position.

Her clinical approaches include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
Dialectic Behavioral Therapy
Narrative Therapy
Life Style Management
