Career Counseling Therapists in State College, PA

We each are journeying a long arc of discovery about who we are, what we can do, how we relate, where we are valued, and why we matter. Our career and education help us chart the course of our identity, and they can create fantastic side trips, unexpected detours, and unfortunate layovers. I work with clients who are navigating the challenges, decisions, and transitions related to their changing landscape of work and school. Like a colorful sunrise, I am energized to work with clients who hope to explore and understand the options for mental wellness available to them as learners, professionals, entrepreneurs, and self-advocates.

Let's work together to help you live your best life: Whatever that means and looks like for you! I believe in the therapeutic process of discovery, understanding, healing and ultimately creating meaning in one's life and circumstances.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor experienced working with adults, teens, couples and families struggling with a variety of concerns including: stress/anxiety, depression, life transitions, career changes, emotion management, self-esteem, relationships, women's issues and so on.

To live is to suffer; to survive is to find meaning in the suffering (Neitzsche).  We would never be able to experience our joy had we not of grown through our pain. GROWTH is the key component of findings ones true self.  Be it feelings of anxiety, depression, or symptoms of PTSD, you CAN and WILL grow to be a better version of you when you take this journey of wellness. Exploration of ones self and mental toughness are key components to living a healthy and fulfilling life. Sometimes our past experiences, generational patterns, or our current thought patterns prohibit us from achieving greatness. YOU can be the hero of YOUR story!

I am able to focus on trauma work and I am trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidenced based treatment for trauma and PTSD. I am also able to take on supervisees who are collecting hours toward licensure as a professional counselor. - My practice is entirely in telehealth. -

I truly believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. From this understanding and processing of your unique story, you can let go of traumas that control you, anxiety and depression road blocks, bad relationships, and overall the emotional pain that may prevent you from living a happy and fulfilling life that gets you excited to wake up to everyday. I want you to be free of that pain so that you can find meaning, excitement, and purpose in work, friendships, relationships, family, and really ALL areas of your life.

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.

I strive to create a warm, safe environment for my patients so they have the opportunity to express themselves without judgment. My goal is to help empower patients to take control of their lives and to ultimately improve their overall quality of life. I believe in exploring past history (e.g. childhood issues), as it relates to current problems or blocks. Treatment goals are created with patient input and tailored to the unique needs of each patient. My office is conveniently located in downtown State College, PA (1 block from Penn State's campus). Telehealth sessions are available for people located in PA & NJ.

With all the muddiness around us in the world and our daily lives, it's easy to become stuck in the quagmire and lose sight of our values. Counseling offers a chance to look introspectively at what is truly important, so we can then discover ways to center those values in our day to day lives. My goal is to build relationships with clients that allow for exploration and deeper understanding of how to live your best life.

We want to spend more time with our friends than our enemies, but so many of us treat ourselves unkindly. Without noticing, we become better critics than companions. I work with ambitious, high-achieving people, but the dark side of success is often self-criticism. I help my clients to love themselves, to wonder at their lives, to act with patience, compassion, and self-respect. When we treat ourselves fairly, our successes start to mean something. We begin to feel satisfied. Meanwhile, our relationships get stronger, opportunities present themselves, and life becomes fun.
