Bethany is very present, a great listener and wonderful therapist that really helps me face and process what is happening in my life. She had helped me through a very very stressful time and helped me discover tools that I can use for the future. I highly recommend her.

I came to Bethany with a mountain of concerns. She’s been so patient with me and this process. Bethany not only listens and guides but is not afraid to call me in. I literally couldn’t have asked for a better therapist my first time seeking therapy. I feel like I truly hit the jackpot.

She listen to me and let me talk and get all the information. She tries to understand what I’m saying and confirms with me what I am trying to say. Than gives great counsel once she understands the situation. She very delicate when she knows I’m going through it.

Excellent therapist. Although at times a bit difficult to schedule with, Bethany Kelley is an excellent person to speak to, with very grounded and well-rounded perspectives. Truly sincerely helpful, wise, and patient. Never condescending, nor "telling you what you want to hear".

I was really nervous about embarking on this journey. From our first conversation I immediately felt a ease with Bethany, I feel heard, understood and validated. I'm only 3 sessions in and I have a long road ahead of me, but I can, for the first time, see light at the end of the tunnel. I'm so grateful and look forward to our sessions. Thank you Bethany

Bethany is incredible, I feel heard when I'm speaking and never rushed to explain my feelings.

I've only been with Bethany for a couple of weeks, but she has made me feel so comfortable and at ease in such a short time. She is kind, reassuring, empowering, and really hones in on the root of any difficulties you may be experiencing with honesty, sensitivity, and the utmost care.

Where do I even start? Bethany has been incredible from day one. She has made me cry the good kind of tears that bring so much healing and at the same time remind me to keep going. I don't have to explain a lot of things because she already understands my context and where I'm coming from. My only regret is not getting to call her my therapist sooner. I am thankful.
