Are you looking for a therapist you can really feel comfortable with? Someone you feel really gets you and you can open up to? I may just be the right therapist for you! Studies show that the most healing factor of successful therapy is the relationship between you and your therapist. In therapy I am very open and genuine with my clients, and people often comment on feeling that I am very approachable. I primarily practice from an attachment perspective, which emphasizes the ways that significant relationships in our lives effect our mental health and relationship patterns.

Do you find yourself held back by shame, from feeling you are “too much” or “not enough”? You are craving healthy, fulfilling relationships but are struggling to break generational cycles and harmful patterns. You've learned to hide your struggles from others to survive. Often, you hide behind your capability, your ability not to need while readily meeting the needs of others at the expense of your own. Your independence hides the fear of relying on others, of trusting them. You are ready to stop ignoring wounds from childhood, from relationship issues, from generational trauma and PTSD, from having your sensitivity misunderstood.

Glad you're here. You may not be in the best mood, relationship, or situation, and you might be trying to help a loved one find a therapist; whatever it is - you are in the right place. My theoretical approach is always client-centered with an ecclectic treatment approach pulling from Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Gestalt, and Brainspotting therapies. I love helping people willing to explore hard things - who've had trauma - who are ready for different and want to make the most of it - who understand the importance of being true to yourself while honoring life choices for others - with strength.

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?

Clients who work with me realize how they can be in the driver's seat of their life and challenge the guilt, shame and pain that keeps them stuck. Many of my clients overlook their well-being due to exhausting themselves in their relationships or have difficulties with confidence, boundaries and managing big emotions. I help clients develop skills to deal with challenging situations, process complicated emotions, and establish healthy relationships with people and themselves. I strive to create a safe and encouraging space where you are able to freely share, express unfiltered thoughts and explore personal pains.

Are you a black woman who has checked many of the boxes in accomplishment and success but have found yourself in a less than ideal relationship? One day it’s all good, and the next day it’s all bad. You feel alone, isolated…like you can’t talk to anyone about what’s going on. You might feel embarrassed or what’s happening might just feel indescribable? You wish you could talk to your partner about it, but his mood is so unpredictable, you’re not sure if that’s even safe. Not to mention, sharing your experience with family or friends could mean having to face their judgment and receive unhelpful advice to "just leave."

I work best with clients that have been effected by codependency , narcissistic abuse and in relationship with those that are addicted. Its really hard to sometimes see the pattern or even how to get out of it. I listen, I help organize, I venture into your stuck places with you, support you as you do the "work" and feel the feelings. We work at your pace, using my tools of somatic, EMDR, and Ketamine. I keep you focused on your goal, on the life and the relationships you truly deserve and desire, I watch you make new discoveries and develop new patterns. In this process there's a lot of laughter, tears and thoughtful reflections.

Many times while on our journey through life we can become confused and experience difficulty finding our way. My hope is to help you process difficulties that you might be facing and help you focus on what matters most to you.

I am a licensed psychotherapist with degrees from Princeton University and the American School of Professional Psychology. I help adults who are suffering from issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, addiction, car accidents, traumatic experiences, divorce/breakups, personal injuries, codependency and eating disorders. My specialty is EMDR therapy. If you suffer from PTSD, I can help you to reprocess recent or past trauma. Together we will work to get back behind the wheel, resolve that family conflict, overcome problematic relationships, recognize codependency , set boundaries, and heal.

Are you tired of your life revolving around what you've eaten, how you look, or what you weigh? Maybe you feel out of control around food followed by guilt and shame? Many of my clients struggle with body image, and are tired of feeling like food, exercise, and weight dictate their happiness. If you've tried every diet, and are tired of your mood being affected by a number, therapy can help! I support clients in finding intuitive eating, body neutrality and body trust. I also work with couples struggling with communication, trust, and sex. As well as individuals facing codependency and life transitions.

Your mental health is very important. Whether you are struggling with a new problem or one that has been on-going, an emotional problem or a bio-chemical one, or even relationship challenges, getting support can make a world of difference. Establishing a safe environment to talk and building a trusting relationship is essential in building a therapeutic relationship. I provide a warm and caring environment for you to trust and share intimate thoughts and feelings, including at times, conflicting thoughts, anxious feelings, depressed mood, traumatic events, etc.

Are you feeling anxious and overwhelmed? Do you struggle with codependency in your relationships? My clients come feeling weighed down and burnt out but are dedicated to doing the work to feel better.

“You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.” My clinical experience includes working with adults, children, adolescents or families who are struggling with challenging behaviors, toxic relationships and/or complex emotions. These struggles can cause profound sadness that physically hurts inside of you. I specialize in flushing out negative thought patterns and working through traumatic experiences that keeps individuals, families and couples feeling struck in an emotional vortex and trapped in recycling toxic behaviors. By working together, we can unlock your courage to ask. Everything you need to heal is inside of you!

Are you feeling frustrated, confused, stressed, depressed, or lost? Living a human life means learning to live with the human condition and the challenges that arise as a result - mortality, relationships, conflict, emotionality, suffering, and change. Therapy can help you adapt and adjust to experiences that can often be challenging and confusing; experiences that you may not always have the skills or insight to address. Therapy is meant to be a safe environment for you to process your experience of life to get emotional support, helpful feedback, and a healing perspective.

It can be difficult and uncomfortable to talk to someone we barely know about our thoughts and feelings, especially if they are upsetting to us. At some point in our lives, we will need someone to walk with us for awhile. Therapy is about me walking with you. I consider this a privilege and love helping people see how valuable they are, no matter what they have gone through.
