Bethany Tennant
Counselor, MS, CRC, LCMHC
Verified
Our lives are made up of a variety of experiences, some creating a lasting impact in one way or another. Working collaboratively in therapy can assist in uncovering and focusing on the positive components of our lives, as well as processing events or memories that impede our functioning. I specialize in working with young adults who have experienced traumatic events, have difficulty managing anxiety, struggle with self esteem and are dealing with life transitions. I offer Christian counseling, am LGBTQ+ allied, and am a sex-positive therapist, here to help you reach your goals.

A safe, non-judgmental and relaxed opportunity for you to express your most authentic self. “Cookie Cutter" approaches rarely work. Our work together is set to your individual needs, and comfort level. I provide Art Therapy, Trauma-Informed Expressive Arts Therapy, Sandplay Therapy and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and traditional talk therapy. Non-Traditional therapies are often less threatening ways to explore your emotions and make it easier to express emotions that are hard to communicate with words alone. You might think, "I can't draw” that's OK. No art skills/knowledge needed. It’s about the PROCESS, not the end product.

I use the specialist rather than the generalist model of care. I am board certified in Dialectical Behavior Therapy and certified in Prolonged Exposure for PTSD and maintain up to date continuing education, seek any needed supervision, and keep up with relevant research findings in those areas. As such, I am particularly qualified to work with clients who seek treatment for issues related to Borderline Personality Disorder, Mood Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Substance Use Disorders and PTSD.. I believe that if you are suffering from a specific issue, you deserve to receive the appropriate care for that issue.

You feel drained, exhausted and completely frustrated. Your partner is clueless about how to connect with you and you are sure there is no possible way you could make it clearer! They’re just as angry and frustrated. The tension is palpable. And you feel, naturally, angry, lonely, tired. It’s painful. You have put your heart in to this relationship and you are not ready to throw in the towel but the attempts you each make to fix it only land with a thud and result in you both feeling like a failure.

Cathy Ann Cosentino
Marriage & Family Therapist, LMFT, Esq
Verified
Kevin Bacon was once asked, “What makes your marriage last?” He didn’t miss a beat: “Clean fighting and dirty sex.” He has a point. The way a couple fights truly impacts their health and their relationship. There are additional influences that create disharmony between two people. Loss of connection, loneliness and conflict avoidance are all precursors to infidelity. I work with couples in crisis from the recent discovery of betrayal and/or past addictions and other relationship struggles. Healing won’t be easy, but it is possible. It’s a painful journey that will take time. I work to make that journey easier.

Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LCMHC, CRC
Verified
Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being. Our experiences in life although similar are still very individual and unique to each of us. It is normal to experience anxiety, fear, anger and sorrow however; when these emotions are extreme they can prevent us from being fully alive, spontaneous and joyful. It is during these times we may need assistance to better understand ourselves and make necessary changes. I commonly treat individuals and couples with anxiety, depression, addictions and relationship difficulties that successfully resolve the issues causing these symptoms.

Are you or your relationship in a slump? Have you tried therapy before and felt like you didn't get any feedback? Have you had a hard time connecting with your therapist?

Stress and anxiety can leave us feeling overwhelmed, unsure and alone. You may be fed up with feeling constantly on edge, explaining it to others who don’t understand, or shame over feeling the way you do. You might not even remember a time when you didn’t feel this way. Either way, one thing is for sure: you’re ready for some relief. You’re ready to feel relaxation in your body. You’re ready to feel like you can handle what comes your way. You’re ready to feel at peace with your decisions. Most of all your ready to live your life with purpose. You’re ready for a new “normal” and I can help you get there.

Life is hard! This is a universal truth. Having a safe place to sit with your thoughts and feelings can be healing. This might mean shining a light on your present circumstances, or taking a glimpse into the past. Most often, it is a combination of both; for insight that leads to healing and change.
