Therapists in Billings, MT

I work with individuals, children, and families. I became a therapist to help people navigate through difficult experiences in life and to help make positive choices in order to live a healthier, happier life. I am commitment to helping my clients find solutions to real life issues. My areas of specialty include parenting education, anxiety and depression, oppositional and defiant behaviors, trauma, anger, and family therapy.

I work with those motivated to self understanding, growth and positive change. Life often throws us out of balance creating adverse symptoms, such as grief, depression, anxiety. Perhaps, you have a history of trauma that continues to effect you in life, work, or relationships. Or there is tension in your family system, marriage, relationships, and/or career. Whatever it is that "isn't working" there is a way to move through it... sometimes we just need a little guidance and extra support. I am that guidance and support, to lead you into a state a mind-body-soul balance.

Welcome! Beginning therapy is an exciting, but potentially daunting experience. It's hard to know where to start when you've been feeling stuck. Know that you've made a good choice stepping up for yourself and your loved ones. In the the therapy room, I aim to provide a welcoming, calming, environment where my clients and I can collaborate to uncover questions, ideas and solutions that work for each family or individual's unique life situation.

My work with individuals and their families is based on a life time of personal and family experience learning to live with serious mental illness. I have spent much of my adult life involved in research through the National Institute of Mental Health, advocating for families and individuals through the National Alliance on Mental Illness and working with the most vulnerable populations through the Mental Health Center PACT program. I believe that everyone is capable of meaningful recovery through the pursuit of education, healing, and personal growth.

My entire adult life I have worked with children and their families as a professional teacher and now a therapist. I easily relate to all ages - children, adolescents, teens, and adults. I understand how important working with families and schools can be for the mental health of the child. As a teacher for over 20 years, I understand burnout, the inner-workings of schools, and the importance of the personnels' mental health and self care. Plus, over 16 years experience with child-rearing, elderly parental care, end of life choices, adult social services, and grief and bereavement therapies for children and adults.

Have you been struggling with communication with your children and/or other loved ones? Do you feel disconnected or more distant than you would like in your important relationships? Do you worry about how you or your child are coping with challenges, obstacles or life transitions?

I graduated from the University of Wyoming, and I have been licensed for 6 years, but I have worked in the Mental Health field for over 10 years. My work is my passion.

We all need to feel heard, valued and respected. But, what happens when our own stress level or that of our children becomes more than we can manage? When ideal communication goes out the window, and we feel frustrated and at a loss? I work therapeutically with you and your child to discover the reasons behind your child's behavior and teach you the skills necessary to restore balance. Whether you or your child are experiencing the effects of divorce, depression, anxiety, oppositional acting out or ADHD, I can help by identifying the cause and offering solutions.

You deserve freedom from the patterns and urges that are holding you down. You deserve peace amidst your mental health challenges. You deserve the moments of contentedness that we all crave in life. If you are living bipolar disorder, other mood disorders, or are on the path to discovering what exactly is happening with your mental health, I will work hard with you to get you answers and solutions.

Hello, I'm Tricia and I have been in clinical practice for 20 years, specializing in child and family work, crisis work and substance use treatment. My focus is to help children and adults heal, energize, and become aware of their inner strengths.

I'm looking forward to connecting with you and helping you work through any challenges you may be facing.

Teenagers have their own set of struggles including peer pressure, self esteem issues, depression and anxiety. Their hormones are changing as are their bodies and can be a very tough time. Most children under age 6 can't put into words how they're feeling so play therapy is the best way to help them work through their feelings, which I utilize. It's also very important that parents have the skills to help their children through these tough times and I use Love and Logic parenting to help parents learn skills that help everyone in the family.
