Tara Murphy
Psychologist, Psy.D.
I do not use the word “obese,” as it is rooted in stigma and can be deeply offensive. Instead, I recognize that bodies naturally come in a wide range of shapes and sizes—from small to large—and that much of the suffering people experience is caused by cultural shame and fat phobia, not by body size itself. My work draws on IFS, Health at Every Size (HAES), Attuned Eating, Body Trust, mindfulness, and narrative therapy to help clients reduce shame, build body trust, and develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves. I provide diagnostic clarity when concerns about body size intersect with mood or eating disorders.

Aria Fraser
Hypnotherapist, Certified Rapid Transformational Therapist
Obesity has its roots in any number of profoundly deep, inner beliefs that make a person's mind and body almost 'programmed' to feel that they need to/ have to increase their weight as a way to survive. Some of these beliefs have origins in childhood experiences, such as not having enough food growing up, abuse that led to a person needing to feel bigger to protect themselves, or even that they would not receive love from a caregiver unless they were 'being a good eater', etc. Once the cause is identified, the belief formed in childhood (sometimes later) can be addressed and released, then changed into a much more helpful belief to empower a person with an increased desire for self-care. Rapid Transformational Therapy helps by suggesting these new beneficial beliefs and desires to the subconscious level of thinking, making them feel natural and achievable. If a person believes at the subconscious level that they are a person who happily desires and chooses self-care/ healthy habits, they will release and change the unhealthy habits, resulting in positive effects on their weight and health. Ongoing support after the session will be available.

Billings is Montana's largest city and functions as the primary regional hub for healthcare, commerce, and services across a vast area of eastern Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas—a region that includes significant Native American populations from multiple reservations, agricultural and ranching communities, and energy industry workers. Billings Clinic and St. Vincent Healthcare provide behavioral health services and serve as referral destinations for communities hundreds of miles away, making Billings uniquely important to the mental health landscape of the entire northern Great Plains. The city's role as a regional hub means that the most challenging and underserved mental health needs in the region—including those of reservation communities, ranch workers, and rural families—flow through Billings. Common therapy concerns include rural isolation, agricultural and energy industry stress, Indigenous community mental health, trauma, and the challenges of a relatively small city carrying the mental health burden of an enormous and underserved geographic region.
