Bethany Sherman

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing telehealth services for adults across Washington State. I specialize in working with anxiety, life transitions, identity exploration, and trauma recovery. My background includes training in evidence-based therapies such as ACT and CBT, along with attachment-based and trauma-informed approaches. I am committed to creating an affirming, culturally responsive space for clients of all genders, sexual orientations, and backgrounds. My goal is to provide thoughtful, collaborative care that supports lasting and meaningful change.

I view therapy as a collaborative and reflective process. Rather than directing your life, I work alongside you to understand patterns, deepen insight, and build practical tools that align with your values. My style is warm, grounded, and steady, with an emphasis on helping you slow down and explore what is happening beneath the surface. Together, we focus on developing sustainable skills and greater self-understanding.

In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and clarifying what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask thoughtful questions to better understand your history, current challenges, and what you hope to gain from our work together. We’ll begin identifying initial goals and discuss what pace and structure feel most supportive for you. My priority is creating a space where you feel safe, respected, and understood from the start. You can expect a collaborative conversation rather than a formal or intimidating interview.
