Psychologist | Counseling | Billings, Montana
What is psychotherapy and how does it work?
Psychologist are trained in several forms of therapies, and we are trained to help you move forward in your life from the things that have you stuck. We work diligently to bring the best treatment plan to each person. Talking to a psychologist who can see patterns, see symptoms of underlying anxiety and depression, or trauma seems to alleviate the symptoms almost as quickly as medication. Both medications and talk therapy help you get back to life and functioning more quickly. Many people are surprised that, even after the first session, just talking about their problems to an objective outsider is helpful, relieves stress and anxiety. We also help you find solutions that you might not find through friends or family. As therapy progresses, the partnership with the psychologist brings about a working alliance that produces change that can last a lifetime.

What can I expect from psychotherapy sessions and how long will they last?
This depends on the person, their goals, the severity of their problems, and the openness to change that each person brings to the process. Of course, at first, talking about private, painful events can be difficult and sometimes overwhelming. But as you get used to the process, it gets easier and healing. Some therapists have in session measurements but mostly we do look at how you are functioning in your life. Are your interactions improving, are you able to make that painful decision you have been putting off, can you find the resources you need for your family or yourself that you hadn’t thought of before you were able to talk it out with a professional. Most sessions last an hour, depending on the type of treatment. EMDR sessions, depending on the provider and their training, may last longer. Much of the feedback that I receive is that, surprisingly, is talking about painful things makes you feel better. With the right psychologist, that is often the outcome. Long term therapy digs into patterns and historical context and helps bring about deeper knowledge, self-esteem changes, and acceptance of who you are and want to become. The benefits of psychotherapy are many but vary per the individual.
Dr. Kietzman will be glad to answer your questions about her counseling services, what is right for you and also help you make your first appointment.
