Therapists in Billings, MT

My name is Kyrstyn Manfull and I am the owner of Think Big Therapy, PLLC. If you are looking for someone that will walk with you through difficult questions, be sincere, caring, understanding, and reserve judgement, I'm your person. I understand the mental health triumphs and struggles it takes to compete as a student athlete. I also have experience with significant weight loss and weight loss journeys (including weight loss surgery). I have experience with trauma and adolescent issues. I also work with those facing anxiety, depression, relational issues, school issues and more.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts? As a licensed counselor, I have seen firsthand the transformative power of counseling. Through counseling, individuals can gain valuable insight, develop coping skills, and experience emotional healing. Together, we can work towards building resilience, improving relationships, and fostering a sense of empowerment. If you're ready to take the first step towards positive change, I invite you to reach out and schedule a consult with me. You deserve to live a fulfilling and balanced life, and I am here to support you on that journey.

Are you struggling with anxiety? Grief? Your identity or self-esteem? Are you an adoptee or adoptive parent navigating the adoption triangle? Life has curve balls that can greatly impact our personal and professional lives; that can make us retreat, isolate, and see ourselves in a negative light. This, in turn, can lead into deeper struggles and us not feeling like ourselves anymore. Yet, that's not the end of your story! You have a purpose and deserve to live a beautiful, happy and fulfilled life where you feel confident and equipped to overcome that inner darkness.

I have worked in Mental Health for over 24 years, and I am passionate about empowering my clients. I have experience working with individuals and families through all stages of life. I particularly enjoy working with the LGBTQ community and senior citizens.

Do you find yourself in many high conflict situations at home, work, and in the community? Military, educational, and life experiences have resulted in my deep knowledge base for working with adults who've experienced trauma and stress. I have advanced training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR), Sensory Motor Arousal Regulation Therapy (SMART), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These modalities assist in providing well-rounded counseling services for those with PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, relationship, career, parenting, and family issues.

Congratulations for reaching out! You are not alone. Your step of seeking therapy and recovery begins now. I see each person as a unique individual. A person with life experiences- needing to relate, confide in and be validated. I treat each person with authenticity and unconditional positive regard. I focus on what is in front of me and not "what could be." My approach is a holistic one; I look at the whole person, including any underlying medical concerns, in order to help you identify your basic core self. Remember, you are brave for making the first step - reach out!

I believe in helping people achieve balance and clarity, and to reach their full potential. I strive to provide quality, professional mental health services in a safe environment that is supportive and non-judgmental.

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).

When struggling with PTSD, Depression, Anxiety, and other mental health challenges it can impact every area of our lives. When our current coping tools no longer work, we deserve new ones that do.

First generation descendant of the Blackfeet Tribe, I have over 20 years of experience in the therapeutic world. I kicked off my career as a consumer to Vocational Rehabilitation in 1996 after a motor vehicle accident that resulted in a spinal cord injury. I worked for the State of Montana as a vocational rehabilitation counselor for 8 years providing services to the Northern Cheyenne and Crow Reservations. I worked for Youth Dynamics Inc as a Therapeutic Group Home youth therapist. Currently, I am a private therapist providing a wide range of therapy services to adults, teens, and youth, including equine assisted therapy.

Taking the first step in your therapeutic journey can bring up many emotions, exploration of these feelings and what led you to seeking a therapist is what I am here to help guide you through. I enjoy working with individuals using a solution focused model, led by you. I work with a wide range of age groups and offer online or face to face therapy sessions in the Billings, Montana area. I look forward to talking with you.

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.

Most individuals I see are looking for help on finding confidence, increasing happiness, and decreasing the control worry has over them. I work with people who feel constantly overwhelmed with not much time to focus on themselves. I really enjoy working with people who are seeking change in their life – related to career, social life, personal development, better relationships or are looking for a sense of peace within the chaos of life – but don’t know where to start or how to make positive changes happen. Often times they feel overwhelmed and stuck but want independence and freedom and a sense of belonging and connection.

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.

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.

I thoroughly enjoy working with individuals that are interested in seeking help in change and understanding, especially if it relates to trauma. I have 12 years experience in law enforcement which has allotted me first hand experience in numerous traumatic incidents, and personal insight. With that being said, I find it incredibly rewarding and meaningful to offer education, coping skills, and EMDR treatment. I believe it is very common for anyone to become 'stuck' in life and need a little therapeutic push in the right direction.

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.

I provide therapy for adults and highly motivated older teens, primarily through EMDR. I specialize in trauma recovery, anxiety, identity exploration and acceptance, and LGBT+ issues (Including GAS letters). I enjoy helping clients work through childhood trauma and/or ongoing traumatic stress especially with power-based violence, cancer, cult survivorship, religious trauma, accidents, natural disasters, and C-PTSD. Your experience in therapy will be unique based on your goals, strengths, needs and comfort level. Together, we will uncover your next steps to living a more balanced, authentic and fulfilling daily life.

Having grown up experiencing abuse, neglect, violence, substance use issues, and poverty, Russell has an experiential understanding of trauma and its effect on our lives. Russell believes that it is primarily through relationship that we incur mental and emotional injury. So, then it must be through relationship that we truly experience healing. Russell’s primary focus is to establish and develop a meaningful therapeutic connection with people in order to allow the wounds we receive to have the appropriate space and opportunity to be healed. He believes that every person should be treated with honor and viewed as a unique individual
