Work with Dr. Allison Bethea (Psy.D., ADHD-CCSP, CCATP)

I'm generally a positive, optimistic person who can solve problems. But sometimes I want to admit that life isn't perfect or even that conditions are unbearable. Friends can't handle that level of honesty, and would naturally want to talk me out of those feelings, but not Dr. Bethea. It's nice to be able to admit things to someone who listens and understands. And she does wait until she understands before offering advice. Her advice isn't heavy-handed at all. It's very gentle, and I've had good results when I've taken it.

I have always been scared of therapy. However, Dr. Bethea helped make therapy welcoming and engaging. She listened without judgement and was really knowledgeable. It was like I was having a conversation and it really helped me become more transparent and feel comfortable discussing my personal life

I’m not an easy egg to crack, so I appreciate Dr. Bethea listening in an easy manner but then taking insight from some of my possibly innocuous statements and bringing it all full circle again

Dr. Bethea’s approach is loving and kind. We identified a problem and she provided multiple solutions. She even asked that I contact her during the weekend to get an update on my progress. I did not contact her, but the option was a warm and loving.

Dr. Bethea was absolutely wonderful to work with. I have worked with numerous therapists, and she helped me make the most progress by far

Written on Jan 20, 2023 after therapy with Allison for 3 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, relationship issues, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and coaching

I was completely new to the idea of receiving therapy due to anxiety and panic attacks I had been suffering from. The first therapist I was put in contact with (not Dr. Bethea) was not productive and left me feeling a bit helpless. After Betterhelp support let me know that we could switch the therapist, in came Dr. Bethea and it could not have been a more night and day shift. She was professional, polite, an excellent listener and ready to give pertinent advice to address my specific situation. I would recommend Dr. Bethea to anybody that's having anxiety issues.
