Codependency Therapists in Billings, MT

I work with addictions, trauma, and mental health disorders. I work well with codependency issues, relationship problems such as healthy boundary setting and assertiveness.

We are living through a time of great anxiety and uncertainty. I am here to offer you a safe and supportive space where you can explore patterns that may be preventing you from moving forward in your relationships, work, and life. I utilize a variety of techniques to help free you from the self-defeating behavior patterns that keep you stuck. The goal of our working together is to reduce your distress, give you tools to solve problems in a healthy way, and heal the wounds of the past so that you can live a happier, more fulfilling life.

The struggle is real- for all of us. I am committed to helping a person grow toward improved insights and coping skills to resolve their problems and related emotions, in a non-judgmental and supportive manner. My goal is for one to learn more about themselves and to function at a higher level in the whole-person dimensions of their life. Whether one is motivated for short-term and situational concerns, or more internally motivated for deeper understanding of self and life-stage fulfillment, the counselor/ client relationship remains paramount as an agent of change.

My areas of specialization include adoption, anger management, antisocial personality, anxiety, behavioral issues, bipolar disorder, codependency, depression, divorce, domestic abuse, domestic violence, dual diagnosis, emotional disturbance, family conflict, grief, life transitions, marital and premarital, oppositional defiance, parenting, peer relationships, relationship issues, school issues, sex therapy, suicidal ideation and trauma and PTSD. I focus on a wide range of clients including adults, teenagers, preteenagers, and children. I use several therapeutic modalities/approaches.

I have over seven years of experience in dealing with those who suffer from addiction, severe mental illness and other diseases. I have worked as a case manager for both adults and youth which allows me to have a big picture mindset when it comes to the barriers and struggles that clients are having to cope with the struggles of today. My passion is to help others find themselves again. You have the power to break free.

With compassion and cultural sensitivity, I have strived to help teens, adults, couples, and families to build resilience in the face of adversity since 2017. Trauma is real and looks different for each person. Healing takes time and support. What you have experienced does not determine who you are, but it can impact how you feel about yourself, the world, and others. Remember trauma and abuse are never your fault. You don't have to just survive anymore, you can thrive. Therapy is a collaborative relationship when done right. Let's work together to facilitate a healthier, happier, YOU!

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and I have been licensed for 9 years helping people feel supported, navigate, and overcome obstacles. I have experience helping those who are experiencing anxiety, depression, Reactive Attachment Disorder, experience oppositional defiance, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and marriage and couples counseling. I also work with those who have experienced emotional abuse while in narcissistic relationships and wanting control of their life again. Minds into Focus Counseling provides a safe place to express emotions, process events while learning how to move forward.

We all experience some level of emotional distress throughout life. Sometimes the distress can be more than we can manage on our own. I have over 25 years of clinical experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families to navigate distress related to adverse life events, anxiety, depression, oppositional behaviors, anger, social skills, poor communication, and self-esteem.

Do you love your partner but just aren't sure how to make it work? Are you feeling lonely and maybe resentful in your relationships? Does it seem as though no matter how hard you try, you can never get it right? Do you find yourself arguing instead of conversing and frustrated that the conflict goes nowhere? If the answer the any of these questions is a loud and resounding YES, you might benefit from counseling at Little Bear Counseling. I and my highly qualified team especially enjoy working with couples, individuals and families with relationship and connection struggles. Don't wait, call today! Online counseling available.

Do you question the relationship you're in? Do you wonder why conflict sometimes feels so difficult? Does it sometimes feel like there are patterns there that you just can't see or understand, but that maybe if you could, they wouldn't have to continue? Sometimes we reach a point where we are ready for change; where what we have been doing in our life and in our relationships, doesn’t feel good anymore. I will help you get clear on what the patterns are AND where they come from and how to shift them.

Are you experiencing more stress or anxious feelings lately? Struggling in relationships? Perhaps you feel emotions more deeply than others? If this resonates, I may be the therapist for you. Therapy can be a profound way to inspire change, and ultimately help YOU connect with your inner wisdom to step into your true authentic purpose. Life is beautiful, but can also be so incredibly painful sometimes. I believe we each have the inner strength to overcome challenges and childhood wounds, and it is my role to help you realize these strengths. You CAN feel differently, heal, and change your life TODAY.

Whether you're looking for help with parenting challenges, relationship issues, or ways to manage anxiety, depression, or everyday life stressors, choosing a therapist is an important decision. I have found that when clients feel secure and understood in the therapeutic relationship, exploration and resolution of difficult life experiences becomes possible. I'm an experienced licensed professional counselor who works with individuals of all ages (3-80+). I tailor my approach to the individual and utilize a variety of treatment approaches.

Are you seeking a space to be heard? To express without fear of judgment? A neutral party to listen and reflect? In my experience, listening is a skill that is not easily mastered. I offer the kind of listening your friends and your family cannot provide, as they may be too close to you and too close to the situation to be able to hear and see things clearly. Counseling provides a space for you to be seen, and to learn to embrace your unique perception. You need to be heard to understand how you think, and to be able to see how you are perceived by others. This will help you find harmony in your relationships.

I am committed to meeting YOUR needs! It is an incredibly brave thing to admit when we are experiencing depression, anxiety, trauma, are vulnerable, stuck, or just want someone to listen. When you work with Bridges, you are in a safe space where you will not be judged! Children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families are all welcome at Bridges. I offer therapies to suit every need, and I enjoy working with people who are ready for change. Bridges offers HIPAA compliant Telemedicine, therefore serving ALL MT communities.

You're looking for tools and strategies to live your best life, whatever that may look like for you. It's easy to get overwhelmed by life, relationships and stress. Sometimes it's a day-by-day struggle, and you never know for sure when a smooth stretch will turn into a rough patch. For some of us, maintaining good mental health is chronically difficult.

I am an art therapist, passionate and dedicated, on a transformative journey to help neurodivergent, LGBTQ+, and grieving teens and adults discover their authentic selves through the power of art therapy. I have a deep understanding of the complexities and nuances of identity and experience, and I create a sanctuary where art becomes the language of the soul-a space where colors, textures, and shapes transcend verbal communication. By blending artistic creation with therapeutic techniques, I offer a unique pathway for healing and self-discovery encouraging each person to embrace their true essence amidst life's challenges.

I work with clients on emphasizing their strengths to assist them in promoting the change that they desire to have in their life. I tailor the therapeutic environment to meet the individual needs of each client to ensure the best possible outcomes. I believe that within each of us we hold skills and strengths to help us attain and improve our quality of life.
