My name is Jan Matney and I am the nCenter’s founder and director, as well as a licensed clinical professional counselor in the state of Montana and a neurofeedback practitioner. I have worked counseling and training individuals and teams since 1990 using holistic, solution-focused approaches. I oversee the neurofeedback at the nCenter to ensure that clients receive accurate neurofeedback protocols to support them in the counseling process and in their lives. My goal is to be a collaborative and respectful leader at work and to create and maintain a positive, healing environment at the nCenter, both for staff and clients.

Alison Hall, PA-C, MHS, is a licensed Physician Assistant with over twenty-four years of clinical experience as a Primary Care/Internal Medicine practitioner. She graduated from Quinnipiac University in Connecticut with a Masters in Health Science and Physician Studies in 1999. After using alternative medicine practices to heal herself from several autoimmune conditions, Alison began using these same practices to facilitate her clients to heal. She has studied Internal Family Systems, holotropic breathing and mindfulness, believing that these practices are a part of physical, emotional and psychological well-being. Besides seeing clients on an individual basis at the nCenter, Alison also provides medication management and neurofeedback consultation and support. She is responsible for reviewing the qEEG brain map results for clients.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work degree from the University of Denver. Prior to my work in outpatient counseling, I worked with children and adolescents to enhance their emotional well-being and improve their academic performance. I have worked with diverse client populations in a variety of settings including community-based, residential care, crisis intervention, domestic violence shelters, and school systems. 

I’m Susan Jedd and I became a licensed clinical professional counselor in 1991. I have been fascinated by the parent-child relationship since I became a mom. I hold a B.A. in psychology and an M.A. in counseling psychology and am informed with Internal Family Systems (IFS). I have been providing counseling services to children, teens, and adults at the Bozeman nCenter since 2014. I approach my clients with acceptance and compassion, as well as a sense of fun. I love to share my experience of improving family relationships through deep mutual connection. My adorable therapy dog Gus is also committed to helping through connecting-and he’s hypoallergenic!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work degree from North Carolina State University. I support clients from all backgrounds in learning their worth, empowering their voices, and strengthening their relationships. I am here to challenge the stigma that feelings equal weakness with the intention of reducing shame in seeking mental health treatment. I’m a proud member of the LGBTQA+ community and practice gender-affirming care with a feminist lens. Throughout my undergraduate degree in social work, I became passionate about advocacy for abused and neglected children and completed an internship with GAL/CASA. I also volunteered for GAL/CASA as a child advocate in court and completed an internship with a foster care agency helping clients build skills and relationships through Collaborative Problem Solving.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) and EMDR trained, with a Masters of Art in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern New Hampshire University. As a native Montana, I attended Montana State University, graduating with a Bachelors of Science in Applied Psychology with a minor in Human Development and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies in 2018. My overall goal for counseling is to aid clients in reaching their full potential in life by viewing experiences holistically. I see counseling as a collaborative process, and hold respect for an individual’s autonomy.

My name is Kyra Lauer, MSW, SWLC.  I earned my undergraduate degree in Psychology from Montana State University in Bozeman, and I have a Master of Social Work from Boise State University. Having lived my whole life in Montana, I have a love and appreciation for the beautiful state we live in. My professional experience includes working as a crisis counselor at the Bozeman Help Center. There I assisted clients to ground themselves and to find the help they needed.  I have also worked with adults in the jail system, helping inmates earn their GED and learn the life skills necessary for life outside the jail.

A native of suburban Boston, I hold a Ph.D. in clinical psychology from State University of New York and a B.A. in Biophysics from Amherst College. I originally planned a career in science, but changed my focus after discovering an interest in working with people and in understanding my own and others’ psychological functioning.

Early in my career I was employed as a staff psychologist at a center for emotionally and behaviorally disturbed children in upstate New York.

I provide counseling services to pre-teens, teenagers and adults of all ages and backgrounds. My goal is to provide a supportive environment to assist you with healing and personal growth. I seek to provide gentle guidance to help family members relate to each other in more helpful, kind, and dignity-promoting ways. I am in the process of completing training in Somatic Experiencing which is an experiential method that helps people heal through engaging the nervous system. In addition to Somatic Experiencing, I utilize some elements of CBT, DBT and art therapy to help clients to access their strengths and ability to heal.

I was born and raised in a small town on the hi-line in Montana. I graduated from Havre High School in 2004 and moved to Bozeman to work full time in business management. Through that experience, I realized that it was the people I worked with and how I could help them overcome struggles that was most satisfying to me. With that realization, I decided to attend Montana State University to study psychology. I completed my Bachelors of Science at Montana State University in Applied Psychology in 2015. I then earned my Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling at Capella University in September of 2019.

I am a Pre-Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (PLCPC), and I hold a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Southern New Hampshire University. I have always had a heart for helping others, and before becoming a counselor, I worked for twenty years in healthcare as a Certified Nursing Assistant and an In-Home Care Aide. Throughout that time, I gained significant experience assisting elderly and disabled people by providing whatever physical hands-on care they needed and also by providing emotional support as patients transitioned through the aging process and/or through issues informed by their disability.

I am a Social Worker License Candidate (SWLC) with a Master of Social Work degree
and Graduate Certificate in Conflict Resolution and Mediation from Colorado State
University. I am bi-lingual and professionally proficient in English and Spanish. I have
worked with children, adults, and older adults in a variety of settings including a
psychiatric residential treatment facility, a behavioral health hospital, and
independent, assisted, and memory care communities. In session, I encourage clients
to be their most authentic selves and create a space where they feel heard and understood.

My passion for nutrition and a healthy lifestyle began at an early age and has driven me throughout my life. Desiring to truly understand how food can be your best medicine, I studied the nutritional sciences in college, pursued a dietetic internship after graduation, and then trained in a clinical setting to become a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist. Since then, I have kept current with courses and seminars on healthy lifestyles and nutritional interventions for chronic conditions.

I am a registered professional engineer in the state of Montana and the state of Texas. I have a B.S. in electrical engineering and an M.S. in civil and environmental engineering. My background in electrical engineering makes the Rife, Nogier, and Solfeggio frequencies employed in neurotherapy particularly interesting to me. I see the results that clients get from neurotherapy, and it is fascinating to me to see the practical application of frequencies, harmonics, and modulation in the healing process. Keeping voltages within safe milliamp ranges we see positive results in cognitive efficiency, mood, and emotional regulation. I started out as a HAM radio operator in 1960…and now I’m known as the “Granddaddy” at the nCenter!
