About Bethany.

Rooted in a humanistic approach and influenced by Jungian and transpersonal psychology, I often use a combination of different approaches to best meet my client’s specific needs. With a holistic view and the therapeutic relationship as a foundation, sessions may include approaches such as hypnotherapy, meditation, mindfulness-based interventions, breathwork, Brainspotting, and different experiential modalities. Time with each client is focused on helping them to fully connect their mind and body while uncovering their full potential to navigate their own processing, healing, and growth. 

 

When beginning work with a new client, I approach the therapeutic relationship from a trauma-informed and trauma-sensitive model. The first few sessions are frequently spent getting to know each other and exploring a variety of areas of the client’s life. Treatment approaches are then customized to best meet your individual needs, issues, and interests. Viewing each person from a holistic view, I focus on the relationship between mind, body, and spirit of each individual. 

 

My clinical experience has included working with children, adolescents, and adults with diverse backgrounds, experiences, and needs. Having worked with clients facing mood disorders, personality disorders, sexual issues, addictions, and symptoms related to trauma, I work with a wide range of emotional, relational, behavioral, sexual, and spiritual issues. I continually aim to pursue knowledge and the most current research within the trauma field, as well as in contemporary alternative medicines and other holistic healing approaches.
