About Me
Welcome to a new adventure! You are taking the next positive step on your journey. That's how it works, you take one healthy step at a time… and eventually you find yourself closer and closer to where you want to be. You begin to connect more with your strengths and gifts and finally you start to feel more at peace. I look forward to starting this journey with you. It is not always an easy journey, but it is one worth taking and you never have to go it alone.
I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Addiction Counselor (LAC) in Montana. I received an Associate of Arts degree with distinction at Casper College in Wyoming, a Bachelor of Arts degree with honor at the University of Wyoming in 1995, and a Master of Science degree with honors in Community Counseling at Montana State University/Billings in 2004 . I love empowering my clients using various therapeutic and cognitive behavioral approaches. I have extensive experience working with individuals struggling with mental health, addiction, and co-occurring disorders. I have worked in the counseling field for over 17 years. I have worked in an inpatient treatment facility for almost 8 years as well as residential and outpatient centers. I enjoy working with adults, couples, families, youth, and have facilitated crisis mediations as well as individual, group and family therapy. I have addressed issues related to self- esteem, parenting, addiction, tobacco cessation, family dynamics, codependency, anger management, depression, anxiety, and trauma utilizing evidenced-based strategies including effective communication skills, self-compassion, meditation, mindfulness, relationship building skills, forgiveness, and conflict resolution. I have created several original materials to assist in the therapeutic process and to best fit my client’s needs. I utilize a solution focused approach building from a person’s strengths and utilizing a variety of value-based techniques to assist my clients in achieving a healthier and more fulfilled life.
I am certified in Problem Solving Treatment and have taught various parenting classes including Love and Logic. I love the outdoors i.e. camping, hiking, taking my dog on an adventure and just soaking it all in. I have two wonderful adult sons and 3 beautiful grandchildren. I enjoy photography and I have started a few new hobbies with metal forging/blacksmithing, jewelry/beading, and working with beautiful stone.
I am available for sessions most days (usually not Saturdays) and also upon request as my schedule allows. You can chose your preference for Video Sessions, Live (message) Chats, or Phone Sessions. If you need a session on the same day, let me know and I will put you on the cancellation list or I will try to fit you in a slot. Don't hesitate to ask and I will do my best to accommodate if at all possible at the available time. In the meantime, feel free to message anytime 24/7. Basically, it is what you are most comfortable with and at your own pace. I generally can respond at least once per morning and once per evening, sometimes more! You are also welcome to try the journal feature, and can keep the entries private for your own use or you can choose to share any entry with me that you feel comfortable sharing and you can change or delete what you want to share at anytime.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jennifer Hill. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Jennifer is a great listener and at the same time always gives amazing advice and ways to cope with my current and past situations. I never feel rushed in our sessions, she takes time to really get to know the whole picture. She is the best !
She is amazing! Highly recommend her to anyone who needs someone to listen and help you process!
SHE IS AMAZING!
jennifer has been amazing. i’ve only had a few sessions with her so far, but we have gone over everything i want to work on in myself and have obtained some tools and techniques to use in order to help myself. i can’t wait to continue to work with her and to learn much more about how my brain works, and how to become a better version of me :)
I can count on Jennifer to give me the support and guidance I need during times of crisis.
Jennifer is the most amazing, caring, knowledgeable therapist I have ever had. She is very responsive, offers valuable feedback and perspectives, and is just great all around. She is always on time, has never missed a session, and is flexible with her schedule. She actually cares!
Jennifer is a good listener. She's very personable and she uses her own past as well as her professional experience to offer examples, ideas, and tools that might help. Scheduling time with her is very easy.
Jennifer is a very compassionate, caring
Therapist.
She also has brings a host of tools I have found to be ver helpful
I would highly recommend her .
Love Jennifer!
Jennifer approaches each conversation with an open ear, tailoring feedback and suggestions for "deep dives" only after she's gotten to know you and your situation. I would highly recommend her as a therapist for the novice to the experienced. Thanks, Jen!
Such an amazing therapist, she LISTENS to you and provides you with tools for your toolbox. She cares about you!!! She had definitely helped me on my journey
Jennifer had been my therapist going on almost a year now. She is so warm and helpful, i love getting to talk with her. She’s helped my through a lot of stuff and i am so thankful for her!
Jennifer is amazing, has a heart for helping a person find the tools they need to help themselves. I highly recommend her.
I've only had a couple session with her, but she is amazing! Her background is so expansive and knowledgeable that I feel like she has alot of good tools for me! I already feel better in my day-to-day struggles
Jen has helped me so much that I can't imagine what I use to do without her!
Jennifer is an amazing counselor. She has pulled me out of a very dark place mentally and helped me create boundaries that have in kind helped me stabilize more.
Jennifer has been there with me through some of my hardest times. She’s given me tools, language and actions to better myself. I cannot thank or recommend her enough.
She has helped me so much! The tools she has given me for my toolbox are priceless. Thanks Jennifer!
She’s amazing
Very compassionate and insightful. In just a few sessions she's helped unlock connections between current struggles and deep issues of my past in a way that's helping me heal and grow.
Have been working with Jennifer for a few weeks now, and it has been great! Her resources have been helpful and I feel much better after we’ve talked.
So far I've only had a couple sessions with Jennifer but they have been extremely productive. I was instantly comfortable with her and never once have i felt the need to hold anything back. I may have only spoken to her twice, but it feels like I have known her way longer than that. I am excited to see what the future has in store for me and to regain the confidence that I know I am capable of, and it will all be with the help of Jennifer.
Great counselor!!
She is amazing and really listens but also lets you know when you nee to go about something in a more healthier approach
Oh man Jennifer is great. She is calming and a great listener. She seems to know how to ask the hard questions that need to be asked and yet compassionate when asking. I am ever grateful for her!
Jennifer is very helpful as a counselor. I would highly recommend her to others. She is very professional.
I have never had a counselor like Jennifer. Sometimes when words fail me, her empathetic nature just allows her to understand and feel me. She listens closely, is warm-hearted and patient. She always provides great sources that help with coping strategies. She also challenges you in a very kind way , to grow and learn to embrace your emotions instead of seeing them as enemies. I would recommend Jennifer one hundred percent.
Although it's only been a short time that I've been working with Jennifer, after every session I have felt a sense of a relief and excitement to continue this journey. You can tell Jennifer cares about my thoughts, feelings, and actions. I have found it easy to open up and be honest. She has given me many tools and resources to continue working outside of our sessions. I look forward to our weekly video sessions and the messages I receive throughout the week from Jennifer. I can't wait to continue working with her!
Jennifer has been a life saver for me! So easy to talk to and such a wealth of knowledge. I am so grateful to have found a her!
I’ve only had one session with Jennifer and a few days of chatting with her.. but already she has helped so so so much and I really appreciate her advice. She’s very very pleasant to talk to during our video sessions. I didn’t have much hope in this kind of tele therapy but I think I like it more than normal counseling. I’m very pleased with it all!
Jennifer is incredibly patient and helpful
Jennifer has been incredibly helpful. I've been through a lot, and rarely discuss it with people because a lot of them brush me off, or flat out call me a liar. Having someone who I know is not only willing to listen, but also won't laugh at me. Knowing that I can talk about my issues and get honest advice is such a relief.
Jennifer is such a good listener. With BetterHelp I can write anytime depending on my mood & it's comforting Jennifer will be with me shortly. I like her soft, calming voice that smiles. She has me thinking all is well within minutes.
I am extremely busy and sometimes can't answer for days at a time, but Jennifer keeps sending me helpful messages, projects I can work on, and doesn't make me feel bad for neglecting myself. I know that I am, but there is so much in life that needs taken care of and I end up putting myself last. Opening up the app and having all the encouraging messages, videos and everything she sends me really helps me to calm down, even if I don't have time to respond or watch them right away.
Jennifer is great. Highly recommend her.
Jennifer is a very caring compassionate individual. She has no trouble relating to extremely odd bits of yourself and brings a loving light hearted perspective that makes it hard to not smile. She's wonderful.
Jennifer Hill has been amazing, patient, and very supportive of me through some difficult times.
She has been a wonderful help. She helped me so much and I can't thank her enough. Anyone would benefit from her!
