The whole experience with Bethany and therapy has been amazing, from feeling so lost and depressed to now having the skills to get through my tough situations and understanding that what I was feeling was valid and where it came from.

Get to know Bethany

What types of clients do you work with best?


I feel that I work well with all types of clients! People come in for therapy who are all in different stages of treatment, such as someone who is entirely new to therapy versus someone who has been through therapy multiple times. I enjoy working with people all throughout this spectrum

What’s one thing you wish all clients knew?


The first step is always the hardest!

What do you do for fun/on your time off?


Walking, bike riding, reading, and spending time with my family.
