Bethany Durden

My name is Bethany and I am an independently licensed clinician in MA! With over 10 years of experience working in the mental health field, I believe that everyone has the potential to reach their full capacity in life. I started my career as a direct care worker supporting youth and families in residential treatment and out-of-home care settings. I developed a passion for working with individuals through life transitions, including the transition to adulthood and the transitions into and throughout parenthood. This led me to pursue my master's degree through Boston College's School of Social Work and my career as a therapist.

I have experience working with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, attachment difficulties, sensory processing disorders, autism spectrum disorder, and stress related to life transitions. I have a passion for supporting young adults through the transition to adulthood and parents through the transitions of parenthood.

I utilize a variety of strategies rooted in evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, exploration of somatic experiences, Attachment Theory, and more. I believe in individualized treatment is vital to success and there is no one size fits all solution. I am a caring and compassionate provider who brings authenticity and a little bit of humor to the therapeutic work.

I believe in building strong therapeutic relationships and developing tools to navigate the world. Together with my clients, I work to determine both long term and short term goals. I am both structured and flexible and encourage ongoing feedback from my clients to ensure we are meeting our identified goals.
