Please read FIRST:
1. I am ONLY offering CHAT/AUDIO MESSAGE EXCHANGE therapy at this time. I am not available for video/phone meetings at this time. The PROS of this offering of therapy include: more flexibility for you and I to touch base as needed! :) Chat therapy would include the use of general message exchange, journal entry communication, worksheets and audio message exchange. I am confident that you would receive great services with this structure if you are interested. Ideally, we would touch base 5-10x/week (1-2x/day Monday-Friday). This form of therapy is not intended for crisis situations or if you are experiencing severe mental health symptoms. If at any point I believe that you need more intensive services, I will refer you to receive more intensive services. I understand that this structure is not for everyone, so if you are interested in this structure of therapy, please continue reading and I look forward to meeting you! :)
2. We will not use the calendar feature or book scheduled time slots. Rather, we will plan to touch base during the time frames of 6am-6pm Monday and Friday openly.
Hi, and thanks for visiting! My name is Bethany and I am glad to meet you! I was raised in a very eclectic city, thus I have an appreciation for culture, arts, music and outdoor activities! Did I mention I really love food and cooking? I do! I can be described as easy-going, understanding, down to earth and goal-oriented. I find myself constantly thinking about current goals, new goals and old goals. Don’t worry-I also know what it’s like to be kind to yourself when energy isn’t exactly matching goals. We all need a break sometimes! Sometimes we need a break from work, others or even ourselves. My goal is to help you find your path on your journey and help find what uniquely works for you!
I have experience working with disadvantaged youth, couples, families, individuals with disabilities, support systems, advocacy, group homes and day programs and helping individuals manage psychiatric symptoms through collaborative efforts.
I am able to work with:
Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety
Feelings of loneliness
Grief
Trauma
Personal processing
Interpersonal processing
Individuals in caregiving positions
Couples and Families
My approach to therapy is Person-Centered. I practice Person-Centered and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for individuals. I follow Emotion-Focused Therapy and Gottman Theory for couples. I also have a niche for helping find alternative life strategies and helping to structure healthy routines. I am ready to hear your story and join with you on your personal process!
*Note: Option for messaging only: If you are interested in having “live messaging only” therapy as an option, I am open to that and we can discuss what that would look like.
*Note: You may send messages in between sessions. I check my mail 1-2 times daily and will respond to your message by 6 PM Monday-Friday.
*Note: When it is time to schedule and depending on what time you select, I may also ask you to readjust that time up to 15 minutes if I have a client before or after you. This may be done to ensure that you get the proper time that you deserve.

Bethany is kind, perceptive and very helpful. This is the first time after several attempts with in person therapy that I feel the process is working for me. I’m very appreciative of this platform and Bethany’s skillful support in particular.
