Adults Therapists in Billings, MT

Welcome and congratulations on taking the first step and seeking out a therapist to work with. Working with children, adolescents and adults therapeutically is a passion of mine. For the last 4 years I have worked in the school setting providing mental health services such as behavioral support and therapy to students 5-18 years of age and their families. My experience includes individual, group and family therapy. I am also a level one Gottman couples therapist. I enjoy working with a wide range of age groups through Telehealth or face to face if you’re in the Billings, Montana area. I am currently full; openings April 2023.

Do you feel stressed, on edge, and not like yourself? Have you been through a trauma and want to try EMDR therapy? With over 10 years of experience with adolescents, adults , families, and older adults , let’s work together and help you feel like yourself again, sleep better, and achieve more.

I recently graduated from Mount Mercy University in Cedar Rapids, IA with a master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy. As a therapist, it is very important to me to create a safe and non-judgmental environment for clients to open up and talk about anything they feel comfortable enough to share. I work with individuals, couples, and families. I also enjoy working with clients who experience anxiety, depression, suicidality, personality disorders, and other diagnoses. I also work with adults , young adults , and the LGBTQ+ community.

I work with adults and couples who experience depression, anxiety, PTSD, Dissociative Disorders, difficulty relating to others or dissatisfaction with life; particularly second half of life issues, divorce, co-parenting, traumatic events, changing careers, empty nest syndrome, retirement, grief and loss, who want to feel better about themselves and their relationships.

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.

Within my practice, I work with children, families and adults . Areas of focus for me include trauma and attachment issues, child and adolescent behavioral problems including, but not limited to ADHD, anxiety disorders, autism spectrum disorders. I utilize relationship and strength based approach in my practice, as well as cognitive behavioral therapy, play therapy, and family systems therapy.
