Therapists in Philadelphia, PA

My goal is to allow client to openly address their levels of fear, depression and issues relating to their disorder. Many factors from past encounters result in high levels of depression and mental health conditions. My goal is to allow my client to address these fears and use my services as a three stage process to function independently with the least amount of medication and therapeutic interventions as possible. My overall goal is to address condition using alternative therapeutic problem solving interventions, while at the same time helping them to make changes based on their current condition.

Do you want to simply "survive" in life, or do you want to "thrive" in life? Unfortunately many of us are simply surviving. My name is Bethanne Fetzer. With over two decades in the field of human services I, along with my dedicated staff have created a space coupled with highly effective treatment approaches to help you to live again! We offer services to those who need to heal from: depression, anxiety, family conflict, life transitions, sex and gender issues, trauma, abuse, and grief and loss. When we rid our lives of these "toxins", we make room to begin a life journey that we never thought was possible!

I find that the ability to connect with a client, listen, and offer emotional support at challenging moments in their lives is what I value most about being a therapist. There is immense gratitude for being able to witness the transformation of someone who is progressing to live a life filled with purpose and meanings. I specialize in working with folks with traumas, depression, anxiety, and grief. I also work with clients struggling with relationships issues, OCD, ADHD, immigration issues, and addictions. I also practice psychotherapy in both English and Spanish, and I work with individuals, couples, and families.

I aim to provide a warm, nonjudgmental, safe environment that will support your innate ability to heal and grow. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership between you and I, and I highly value building deep, genuine connections with the people with whom I work. Through connection, and a gentle balance of nurture and challenge, lasting change can occur. Many of my patients begin therapy feeling stuck, anxious, unhappy, struggling with effects of trauma or loss, or desiring deeper connections in their relationships. Therapy can help you understand more about yourself and what you can do to feel better.

You don't have to suffer alone. There is help. We can work together so that you experience a more fulfilled life. I work with clients on issues such as depression, anxiety, relationship problems, spiritual issues, and loss and grief. I can also help clients struggling with trauma, ADHD, and sleep difficulties. Primarily I use a psychodynamic perspective, appreciating the underlying causes to the difficulties we face. I also integrate techniques from other approaches, such as gestalt, emotion-focused therapy, short-term psychodynamic therapy, mindfulness, and cognitive-behavioral therapy, depending on the client's unique problems and goals.

Do you ever wish that life felt more fulfilling? Does it ever feel like you have a hard time knowing who you are, what you are feeling, or what you need? Do you ever wish that you felt more connected with others, and less isolated? There are times in life when we just feel "stuck," and have a hard time finding our way out. Many things can come along in life that get us off the track that we want to be on, whether it be depression, anxiety, grief, or hurtful events from our past.

One of the bravest things you can do is invest in yourself and begin therapy. If you're feeling stuck, anxious, dealing with grief/loss, struggling in relationships or have found therapy unsuccessful in the past, contact me. I've seen my clients transform, even when things seem hopeless to them. We will work together to understand your obstacles and to help you acquire the skills needed to overcome them. My approach is interactive and includes feedback, reflection, challenge, and humor. I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and other evidenced based treatments. I also offer coaching.

At some point in our life we all experience a traumatic event. For some, these traumatic events (such as sexual abuse, a break-up, domestic violence, death of a loved one) are manageable and symptoms typically subside without disrupting any other areas of life. However, for others, such traumatic events take control over some or all areas of their life and lead to negative long-term consequences. As painful as the trauma is, you can still heal and grow after a traumatic event.

Establishing a trusting relationship and environment that is warm and supportive where clients feel safe and motivated to engage in their therapeutic journey is my essential goal. My approach to therapy is formulated by the uniqueness of the person along with the uniqueness of the environmental and familial systems within which they have developed. Over the past 23 years I have worked with individuals, groups, families, and couples and have treated several mental and emotional health issues. Some of these issues include: Depression, Anxiety, Grief, ADHD, Self-Esteem, Life Transitions, Relationship/Family, and Attachment.

Welcome! Thank you for reviewing my page. I primarily offer two (2) services - Psychotherapy and Psychological Evaluations. I provide psychotherapy to treat: Anxiety, Panic, Depression, Grief and Loss, Sexual/Pornography Addiction, and Compulsive Eating. I provide treatment from a Cognitive and/or Behavioral perspective, which helps clients to understand how their thinking impacts feelings and behavior. I also offer faith-based counseling methods for those seeking such a treatment perspective. For evaluation I provide comprehensive evaluations to diagnose, determine treatment, assess competency, and for a variety of legal issues.

Throughout my career I have enjoyed working as a psychologist delivering counseling, consultation and assessment services. I consider it a privilege to be invited into an individual's world at a time of need and work hard to build a trusting alliance with each person. I listen to my clients and engage them around the unique stories they share so we can set goals and a treatment plan that is personally tailored to each individual and/or couple. My approach is based on years of experience and a solid theoretical foundation. It is a relational one such that I use our therapeutic connection to facilitate change.

The thought of therapy can be weird, overwhelming, or even exciting. However you got here, I’m excited for you to begin.

My goal is to create a warm and safe spot for you, and I will meet you where you are in your journey.

As a psychologist, I was trained using methods developed long ago. Many of those methods work effectively; however, we are in a different place now; times have changed, people have evolved, and our environment is entirely different. Each situation is unique; each person’s stress, anxiety, and depression are distinct. Constantly providing for others, being there for others, and putting others first is taking a significant toll on your well-being. I use an alternative approach – a combination of traditional along with a holistic and spiritual approach to you move forward and get “unstuck” from your current situation.
