I’m Bethany, a dedicated advocate with a passion for empowering women in overcoming trauma and navigating life transitions. I primarily work with folks facing a wide range of challenges to reproductive and sexual wellness, including sexual trauma, domestic violence, perinatal mental health disorders, birth trauma, and pregnancy loss through termination or miscarriage. Through a person-centered lens, I create a safe space for clients to process their lived experiences and integrate them into their life stories.

I approach counseling with a collaborative and solution-focused approach. I take a personalized approach to treatment, recognizing that everyone is unique and requires individualized care. My goal is to help my clients achieve their full potential, and I strive to create a warm and compassionate environment where my clients can feel heard and understood.

I am here to support you on your path toward living a meaningful life that matters to you. With that in mind, our work together will focus on exploring what you care about and what you want to stand for, and guiding you toward living a life in alignment with your dreams and values. I have several years of experience working as both an elementary school teacher and a university mental health counselor. I offer specialization in working with adolescents, college students, and young adults.

I have openings! When an atmosphere of trust and collaboration is created, healing can begin. My clients have shared with me that I am amicable and non-judgmental, warm hearted with a sense of humor and play. Within this space, clients who are learning to live with problems like a change in life, addiction or trauma can explore their life experiences, learn to use their current strengths and add new skills to move towards their goal. It takes time and patience, honesty and courage, plus support to look at one's self and stick with new thoughts and behaviors.

If you’re looking for a place to go deep and sort through your own stuff so it stops holding you back, I can help. I will provide a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space that makes room for you and all of your wonderful weirdness. I believe that you are the expert on your experience, and it is my passion to be with you and support your unique process of growth and healing. I have experience working with teens and adults, from a variety of backgrounds, who have experienced trauma. As a queer therapist, I’m particularly adept at working with the LGBTQIA+, kink, and non-monogamous communities.

I have over 24 years experience in private practice. I have also been a counselor educator for 19 years teaching at the graduate level and providing practicum and internship supervision for students entering the counseling field. I believe the counseling process is all about change, that is, changing current behaviors, thinking patterns, or feelings. Counseling will allow you opportunities to explore areas of concern, while challenging you to think and/or behave in new ways pertaining to the issues in your life. I believe this can be achieved through a balance of guidance, encouragement, support, and feedback.

I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker located in New Orleans, LA. I am licensed and able to see Maine residents for therapy virtually as well. Working from a trauma-informed lens, I work to facilitate a collaborative and empowering approach to counseling. My theoretical approach stems from a radical social justice paradigm with the incorporation of liberation-based healing practices, expressive arts therapy, feminist, and relational-cultural theory. I work with both individuals and couples, offering a supportive space for personal and relational growth.

Are you wanting change, but you're feeling stuck? Are you grieving a traumatic childhood or experience? Do you have difficulties with anxiety, self-worth, and relationships? Do you struggle feeling connected to your core self? Are you seeking new meaning, perspectives, and engagement in life? Trauma and disconnection are epidemics, impacting our families, communities, our bodies, and minds. If you are seeking relief from coping mechanisms that lead to more disconnection, or if any of these questions resonated with you, we may be a great fit for the collaborative journey towards wellness together.

These last few years have presented many challenges for everyone. Depression, anxiety, addiction, grief and other issues are on a rise. It is not always easy to make the decision to reach out for therapy. However, therapy can help and support a person through what they are experiencing. Change is not easy; it takes courage to change and you do not have to face it alone. I have worked in acute care for many years with adults, elderly, children and adolescents. I feel confident to work with many mental health issues.

Have you always done what you think you should be doing, only to feel isolated and empty within? Are feelings of shame, guilt, and worry taking over your life? You are not alone in your struggles, and there is help. Together, we can work towards helping you understand your emotional life and its roots while gaining a deeper understanding of who you are. In your journey of life, you’ve taken a step towards change, improving your quality of life and increasing your awareness and understanding of yourself.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor committed to helping individuals learn how to build healthier relationships with themselves, specializing in grief therapy as well as trauma related issues. My work focuses on as a process in which you, and I, the Counselor, having come to trust one another, work as a team to explore and define present problem issues. I believe in this collaborative approach, realizing future goals that can be developed for improved life in a systematic fashion.

The past several years have been so difficult. It is important to recognize now more than ever that we possess the innate ability for inner peace and calm even in the face of fearing the unknown. Psychotherapy is an exploration of what is blocking people from fully realizing their fullest potential, genuine happiness and fulfillment. Anxiety, depression and other "mental health issues" are often rooted in a deeper desire to be understood, to be seen, and to accomplish one's life purpose. A strong psychotherapeutic alliance can help to unlock our natural abilities that are hidden beneath our fears and limiting beliefs.
