Codependency Therapists in Davis, CA

Hello, my name is Bethany and I believe psychotherapy requires finding the right match. I work with adults, couples, and families with adult children. I utilize treatment modalities that assist with mood, relationship difficulties, loss and grief, parenting challenges, life transitions, codependency , guilt and shame, trauma, addiction, divorce, chronic illness and/or pain, and career stagnation. I've had success with clients who are ready to do the work of self improvement and eager to understand why they may feel stuck. Congratulations on taking the first step toward healing and growth. What are your goals?

I focus on the development of the therapeutic relationship, first and foremost. This can look like: learning about you, prioritizing what you bring to session, and gently encouraging you to work toward your identified goals. I use what comes up in the therapy space as opportunities for relational skill-building, such as focusing on strengths, building self-compassion, learning to identify wants/needs, regulating emotions, and working through conflict. I interweave understandings of sociocultural context to contextualize your experience, and to move the foci of change from what isn't in your control to what is.

Accepting New Clients: Personal, practical, Biblical counsel for Christians and non-Christians. I provide a safe, therapeutic environment where you can come as you are.

In my thirty years of practicing psychotherapy, I have found that it is the therapeutic relationship itself which helps effect the greatest changes. I offer a safe, supportive place to explore the impact of trauma and loss and be able to move on.

I create a healing space for those who are struggling with anxiety, depression and managing their emotions. These issues can cause stress in your daily life and in relationship with others. I do believe that there is a way to honor our lived experiences while learning new skills to help manage your emotional life.

Are you tired of struggling with your mental wellness on your own? We all have ups and downs in our lives. But wouldn't it be great to feel a reassuring undercurrent of serenity and resilience, no matter what is happening in your outer world?

You know there's more to life than the loneliness, frustration, and fatigue you somehow keep coming back to. Despite the many times you've mustered the strength to push through and keep trying, sometimes you feel like true lasting change is hopeless. But something in you keeps calling, drawing you forward in search of the ease, passion, inspiration, and freedom you're longing for.

I believe that we all have the ability to grow and change and sometimes we need help in order to do so. The therapeutic relationship can be a place for connection, healing, insight and acceptance.

Hi, and welcome. If you are reading this you are in preparation to take a big step to create important change in your life. I commend you. I specialize in treating chronic and acute PTSD resulting from both single and childhood trauma events; anxiety disorders, loss/bereavement and pain management. I am also a skilled couple therapist. As a seasoned professional with ample life experience. I hold a doctoral degree from Fielding Graduate University and am dual-licensed as a Clinical Psychologist and as a Marriage and Family Therapist. I am here to help you become your personal best with research driven treatments.

I view therapy as a precious investment of your values and vulnerabilities, so I aim to honor that investment with my commitment to your well-being. Through a nonjudgmental, authentic and compassionate stance, I strive to create a safe and collaborative space for you to explore sensitive issues, experiment with new behaviors, and work towards what matters to you.

Are you tired of trying to figure out how to deal with your feelings on your own? Not sure who to listen to? Thank you for visiting my site. I work with adults (18+) who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, university challenges, both academic and social, and other difficult life events/transitions. My goal is to establish a positive and trusting connection with my clients while providing a supportive environment for the work we do together. I work collaboratively with my clients to find new ways of coping and managing difficult challenges that will ultimately lead to a more meaningful and productive life.

Do you sometimes feel alone in your pain, or worry that no one really understands you? It's not easy navigating the demands of life including family, relationships and work. Expressing yourself is difficult when you can't find the right words to say. Having to feel like you have to be the strong one every moment of the day is exhausting, or the one that holds it together for everybody. It can take a toll on your mind and body. You can be your own worst critic although you try your best to do everything right.

I enjoy working with motivated and ambitious couples and individuals who are willing to put in the time and effort that it takes to work on themselves. I believe that starting therapy takes courage; it shows that a person wants more for themselves, their relationship, and their partner. You may have struggled with expressing your needs or advocating for yourself in the past – I can help you understand your needs more and learn to set boundaries when stress feels unbearable.

Psychotherapy is one of the best ways to live an examined life, opening doors to a deeper understanding of yourself and to a new way of being in the world. Mindfully tending to your psychological space, each of our sessions will focus on exploring practical answers to everyday problems, resolving fears and uncertainties, improving your life, and discovering how the psyche responds inwardly to overwhelming life events or when life-shattering events destroy outer meaning altogether. Even unavoidable and unpleasant experiences can be a source of psychological freedom.

I work with trauma, depression, attachment wounding, and low self-esteem and use EMDR to help adults move beyond areas where they have become stuck. My work focuses on finding effective strategies to operate in the present then tackling emotional flashbacks and quagmires that keep us tied to past. Finding a therapist who fits can make all the difference. My clients tell me that they feel safe, seen, and heard with me. Please call me for a phone consultation to find out if my practice would fit for you.
