Jillian Mord, LLC

I believe that we are constantly striving to reach our true potential, and that when we are loved, valued and accepted for who we are, we feel safe and motivated to reach that potential.  I also believe life's obstacles can sometimes prevent us from reaching our goals and that guidance, along with security and empathy, is the catalyst for emotional healing and growth.  As your counselor, I will strive to create an accepting and secure therapeutic relationship, as I walk alongside you in your journey towards a fulfilling life.  My aim is to create a space of trust, empathy and genuineness to invite vulnerability and to explore maladaptive patterns that may be preventing you from reaching your goal.

Having worked with a wide age range, 3 to 95, I understand the importance of meeting you where you are in life, and capitalizing on your individual strengths to achieve the inner peace you seek.  I can work with a variety of issues, including depression, anxiety, mood disorders, relationship difficulties, grief, and trauma.  I am particularly passionate in working with young adults, middle school aged adolescents, attachment injuries, anxiety, depressive and mood disorders, and the shame that often accompanies them.

I have been working in the mental health field since 2012 and graduated from Montana State University with a Master's of Science in Marriage and Family Counseling.  I have experience in working with individuals, including children, adolescents, and adults of all ages, couples, and families.  I have also facilitated a wellness group for older adults, and groups for middle school aged adolescents.

Angel Nurse Consulting, LLC

It takes courage to reach out for help. Being a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor  allows me to support, educate and guide people to work through their life challenges.  This comes in many forms whether it is surviving domestic violence and abuse or  experiencing grief, stress, anxiety, depression or a disability. I utilize a holistic philosophy in my practice as I believe healthy nutrition, sleep and physical health also play a role in  each individual’s overall mental well-being.

Additionally, I am a registered nurse, going on 36 years. I worked in a small hospital in  Montana for most of my nursing career. I have found the two professions contribute  nicely to each other and make me a better nurse and counselor. I graduated from MSUB  in 2018 with a degree in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling. 

I specialize in the treatment of adolescents, teenagers and women. I use person-centered therapy as the foundation for building a safe place to develop a strong working alliance and expand to the type of therapy needed for each individual situation. I strive to be genuine, authentic and present during sessions.

Together, we’ll explore your strengths and unlock your full potential, empowering you to face life’s challenges with confidence.

Outside of counseling, you can find me running, walking, or enjoying yoga. I love spending time with my family—my husband and our two daughters—along with our dogs. I'm an outdoor enthusiast who enjoys skiing, camping, hiking, and hosting BBQs. If we are not busy outside, you can find me in the kitchen baking cookies, breads, or muffins.

If you’re seeking a supportive partner on your path to a healthier, balanced, and happier life, I would be honored to walk alongside you. Let’s take this journey together!

Lisa Meyer, MEd, LCPC

The beliefs we hold—about ourselves, others, and the world—are powerful. They shape the way we live, love, and grow. They influence how we respond to joy, pain, connection, and challenge. But, most importantly, they are not set in stone.

​Hi, I’m Lisa Meyer, a licensed clinical professional counselor based in Billings, Montana. I believe that healing happens at the intersection of the heart, mind, and spirit. In my practice, I blend spiritual insight with behavioral science to foster mental and emotional well-being.

Therapy isn’t just about treating symptoms—it’s about nurturing the whole person. Many of us carry deep wounds that quietly shape how we relate to ourselves and the world. With empathy and compassion, I help clients explore those inner beliefs, gently untangle patterns that no longer serve them, and begin the work of creating a more peaceful, empowered inner life. ​

Whether you're seeking clarity, connection, or simply a safe space to be heard, my goal is to walk alongside you with presence and care. You don’t have to go through your challenges alone.

I primarily work with women, and occasionally children/teens on a case by case basis. Whether you're facing the weight of anxiety or depression, grieving a deep loss, adjusting to a major life change, or healing from trauma—including spiritual trauma—my goal is to offer a space where your story is honored and your growth is supported.

A few areas I have training and experience working with are trauma & spiritual trauma healing, anxiety & depression, and Perinatal Mental Health. I also support folks through life transitions like divorce or retirement. Therapy can be a grounding place to rediscover purpose and direction.  

I draw from a variety of evidence-based tools, tailoring them to each person’s unique needs, including Mindfulness-Based Coping Skills and EMDR Therapy.

 Every individual’s healing journey looks different. My role is to walk beside you with care, insight, and trust—helping you reconnect with your inner strength and create a path forward.

Healing and growth are possible. If you feel ready to begin, or even just to explore what support could look like, I’m here.

By Your Side Therapy, LLC

I have always felt a calling to help and serve others. It has long been my belief that one of the greatest ways to help others is not by telling them what to do, but rather by walking with them in their journey and helping them to find their way along the path that they want to follow. That is why I obtained Master’s Degrees in both Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Psychology.

People face many different and unique challenges throughout their lives. My broad experience across different fields enables me to not only empathize with the pressures and difficulties that arise in people’s lives, but it is also invaluable for providing tools to help overcome those challenges. As a veteran and former first responder, I can also relate to the specific challenges faced in those demanding roles. This diverse background allows me to connect with clients and support them, no matter what path they are on.

I provide an empathetic and a nonjudgmental environment, while employing techniques to help you achieve your goals. I have experience working with clients who have endured trauma and are still experiencing its effects such as PTSD, as well as those who are currently experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns, and more.

Rick’s Place

I believe that life experience—both the challenges and the opportunities—shapes who we become, and that healing often begins when we feel understood, supported, and connected. My approach to counseling is grounded in walking alongside individuals as they navigate complex life transitions, trauma, identity, and purpose. I have a particular interest in working with individuals who find themselves evolving and moving from one stage of life into another—stages often marked by questions of meaning, identity, purpose, and legacy. These periods can bring both uncertainty and opportunity, and I aim to work with clients to make sense of their experiences while moving toward a more authentic and fulfilling way of living.

In addition to individual work, I enjoy working with couples, with a focus on improving communication, strengthening connection, and navigating conflict in healthy and constructive ways. Whether couples are experiencing ongoing tension or simply want to deepen their understanding of one another, I strive to create a space where both partners feel heard, respected, and supported.

I bring a uniquely diverse professional background to my work. I served on active duty in the United States Air Force within a joint service command, completing 41 temporary duty deployments worldwide. Following my military service, I worked with the United States Secret Service. These experiences provided a deep understanding of high-pressure environments, trauma exposure, and the unique challenges faced by those in service-oriented roles.

After leaving federal service, I pursued advanced education, earning multiple graduate degrees including a Ph.D. in Psychology. My academic journey has allowed me to integrate clinical practice with philosophical and depth-oriented perspectives, including Jungian psychology. My doctoral research—focused on Carl Jung’s interpretation of physicist Wolfgang Pauli’s dreams—is held in the Harvard/NASA archives under the Philosophy of Physics.

I have lived, worked, and traveled extensively internationally, including spending seven years in São Paulo, Brazil. Upon returning to the United States, I taught undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral-level courses at Bellarmine University, where I also founded the university’s Veterans Services Office. This work deepened my commitment to supporting veterans as they transition into civilian life. I later served as Director of the Veteran Business Resource Center in Utah, where I helped veterans rebuild by starting and growing businesses. In this role, I collaborated closely with the VA and veteran service organizations nationwide, focusing on access to benefits, resources, and long-term opportunity. Since relocating to Montana, I have continued supporting veteran populations and expanded to include those living in Montana and Wyoming.

My volunteer work includes serving as Veteran Chair of the Veterans Community Alliance of Louisville and as a board member for Athena’s Sisters, a support organization for women veterans. I currently volunteer with the Riverstone LOSS Program in Yellowstone County, providing support to individuals affected by loss and crisis. Clinically, I am particularly passionate about working with veterans, first responders, couples, and individuals navigating trauma, identity, and major life transitions. I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, integrating evidence-based practices & EMDR with depth psychology and a holistic understanding of each individual’s life experience.

I am the proud father of four children, with two living in Denver and two in Seattle. Outside of my professional work, I value time with family, continued learning, and staying engaged in service to others.

I hold a Bachelor of Science from the University of Maryland; a Master’s in Psychology from Naropa University; a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Saybrook University; a Juris Doctor from the University of Louisville; and a Ph.D. in Psychology from Saybrook University.
