Motivational Interviewing Therapists in Billings, MT

Change, hardship, pain, and grappling with the unknown are inevitable parts of life, but learning how to navigate these experiences and use them in ways that can contribute to your personal growth, meaning, and fulfillment is my goal as your therapist. Everyone’s journey to healing looks different and I look forward to joining you on yours.

Throughout life, we are faced with the task of overcoming challenges and hardships. Whether you have been struggling with mental health concerns for many years or are going through a current life circumstance that is causing you distress, it may be time to seek outside support from a therapist. We will work together in a collaborative manner to create a space where you can focus on gaining a deeper understanding of yourself, increase meaning and fulfillment in your life, and reduce mental health symptoms that might interfere with your well-being.

While I can treat clients of all ages, most of my experience has been working with adults with substance use disorders and process addictions in an outpatient setting. I have experience with persons in the court systems and CPS, as well as those who are ready for a different, healthier, sober lifestyle. My goal is to serve the addiction and recovery community to the best of my abilities and skills and be a part in your journey towards healing.

We all have a story to share that does not have to be defined by our past. You have what it takes to write the next chapter of your life. I would consider it a privilege for you to allow me to walk alongside you and support you as you begin this journey of healing. You are not alone. Together we can address and manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and trauma. These concerns manifest differently for everyone. In my work I will draw from aspects of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Internal Family Systems and others to make this time suit you.

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 name is Michelle and I am the owner of Coffee Date Counseling Services, LLC. So why the name "Coffee Date Counseling Services"? No, I don’t do couples counseling or specialize in relationship advice. My vision for Coffee Date Counseling Services is tied directly to the experience that I hope to create for clients. Counseling should be a human experience, one in which you feel supported and connected as you wrestle with the vulnerability that typically leads someone to seek out support. The image of two people meeting and sharing experiences over coffee evokes in me the feelings I hope my clients experience after our sessions.

Hello. My name is Josh Pate-Terry, and I am a licensed clinical social worker in Montana. I am skilled in motivational interviewing, substance use disorders, and I am a certified clinical anxiety treatment professional, a certification that provides me with expertise in the neuroscience, treatment, and psychopharmacology of anxiety. We, as human beings, are all very much both alike and different. As such, we want to create a treatment plan based on your individual needs and abilities by establishing clear goals and paths to achieving those goals.

I am passionate about helping clients heal and move towards wellness, by providing a safe and caring environment to explore and process difficult experiences and emotions. I believe each client is the expert on his or her own experience and I work with the client to tailor treatment to the individual needs.

I work with individuals who are seeking assistance in healing recent or past trauma, anxiety/depression, life transitions, interpersonal/domestic violence, and women who are experiencing pregnancy or postpartum. I use evidence-based modalities such as EMDR, psychodynamic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), parts work, solution focused brief therapy (SFBT), and motivational interviewing through an attachment based lens.

I enjoy working with a diverse client population including those seeking health and behavior change, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, bipolar disorders, persistent life stressors, family discord, and adjustment issues related to chronic illness. In my experience, counseling requires attention to all areas of our lives, and the basis of successful counseling is a trusting and collaborative relationship with an objective therapist.

I believe that strength is not defined by burying our feelings, “keeping your chin up,” or other cliche sayings that encourage silence. True strength is being vulnerable, talking about how you feel, and yes, asking for help. If you are ready to look at whatever is hurting you, whatever is interfering in your relationships, and whatever is keeping you from the life that you want to live, THAT is strength and where your true power lies.

Has your life become unmanageable? Have your goals and dreams gotten lost in the daily routine? Do you seek direction and balance to help decrease the negative affects of stress? You and I will work together to treat the addiction that used to make you happy and now is causing more pain than comfort.
