Therapists in Billings, MT

Are past pains and future worries affecting your ability to enjoy the present? Struggling to find joy and meaning in life? My passion is to empower you to heal from past wounds, grow authentically, thrive in relationships, and experience resilient peace. In a safe, supportive atmosphere, I use a psychobiological approach, collaborating to restore your instinctual resilience. With a trauma-informed and holistic perspective, I'm trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and grounded in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

I believe the most important relationship we have in this life is with ourselves. Therapy can offer us a deeper understanding and connection with ourselves. Learning to love ourselves is a difficult process and is also very transformative and healing. I like to approach therapy with the ideas of helping a client develop a safe and trusting relationship with themself and to also approach themself with curiosity and compassion. I believe in the healing power of our minds and bodies and love to help clients learn how to cultivate this for themselves.

I like to say "Therapy is the process of processing the process", I would be honored to walk that path with you. With a Masters degree in Social Work (MSW) , I have been trained in various evidence-based treatments to help you cope with your daily life stressors, trauma, and unexpected life changes. I have been providing professional mental health services in Billings since 2020, and now, as a practitioner in a group practice. I have found those with: a genuine desire for change, have made great strides in their self-actualization journeys.

Sometimes just support making a hard decision. I am here to listen!

You are the only expert in *your* life. As Carl Rogers did, I believe that all people have the ability to bring about meaningful change in their lives, and a my role is to guide you to a greater understanding of that power, while gaining new, positive skills. Level UP! I continually strive to demonstrate empathy and unconditional positive regard. Life is hard enough as it is - getting help shouldn't be just another stressor on top of your never-ending To Do List. Stop listening to that voice in your head that tells you that you aren't good enough/strong enough/smart enough/busy enough/making enough. That voice is wrong.

You are finally ready to start working on healing inner wounds. We can begin by getting curious about what your nervous system needs to feel safe and ready, using curiosity and compassion. This can create an instant softening of symptoms related to anxiety, PTSD or C-PTSD, and grief/loss. For couples in distress, you CAN engage with more thoughtful reflection and heal relational wounds in order to transform your relationship; And if there is ambivalence about your future together as a couple, I can help you choose a path forward using short-term Discernment Counseling.

I recognize how difficult it can be to allow someone into your world and seek help from an outside person. I appreciate the value in relationships and center my therapy practice around building strong relationships. My goal as your therapist is to work alongside you developing new skills and refreshing skills you forgot you had. Life is a journey filled with happiness and sorrow. Sometimes the difficulty experienced in life can lead a person feeling sad, lonely, agitated, hopeless and unsure of the future. Seeking counseling is just another journey in life. I am here to help you on that journey.

Because of past experiences working with a variety of cultures and ages, counseling sessions feel like a friendly visit rather than interaction between counselor and client. However, Dr. Monroe incorporates skills into the visit which provide therapeutic technique. Although in-person visits are recommended, using doxy provides a secure network for telehealth and can be used from the comfort of your home. These experiences are designed to create a positive emotional healing process for the client.

Hi - Welcome to ONLINE counseling. I have a unique practice that supports people from all over Montana --- after 15 years of seeing couples and individuals in person in my Bozeman office, I'm now working exclusively with individuals online. I have had the honor of helping hundreds of Montanans conquer their depression or anxiety, regain their confidence, improve their communication skills, renew their relationship by working on themselves ... and to get back to being the person they want to be. I think you'll be surprised at how comfortable online therapy feels - it's just like sitting in the same room.

Life can get hard, unpredictable and messy sometimes, especially over the last couple of years! Feeling lost and confused, is part of having a human experience. It's ok not to have all the answers right now, and it's even ok if you've stumbled and fallen. Nobody does this "life thing" perfectly. Maybe, you are considering changing some part of yourself or your life. Great for you!!! It takes a lot of courage to get to that place. Asking for guidance or help is a huge step and it's healthy!

Welcome! I can tell you right now that you are already doing the best you can with the information you have, and I invite you to consider that there are still wonderful opportunities to learn. In this light, I'm committed to providing you an emotionally safe environment for you to share situations that concern you -- at your own pace. Whether it's short or long-term counseling, we'll work on finding where you are in terms of what you desire, what's worked in the past, and what you can do to help create the thought processes and emotional states you can be at peace with. Self-compassion will be a key -- also, compassion for others.

Grief and sadness in life has multiplied since the Covide-19 outbreak. You are not alone. Let's Talk. Call me and we can meet.
