Mary Beth Hurlbert

Hi, I am Beth, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in CA. Adoption and foster care require a different kind of heart and a specialized set of tools. With three decades of dedicated experience, I help families navigate the nuances of trauma and "blocked trust." My approach is deeply empathetic, rooted in the belief that healing happens through connection. I provide the seasoned perspective you need to understand your child’s needs—and your own—more deeply. You don't have to do this alone.

As a certified Trauma Based Therapeutic Intervention practitioner, I am able to help you see that the damage from trauma can be reversed through attachment and play with some redirection as needed. Let's collaborate, helping you tap into your own strengths and motivations to create meaningful change in your life and family.

Connection is the framework of us working with each other. A safe, non judgmental space is provided by discussing what you can expect from me and what you are looking to get from our time together. Hopefully you will walk out knowing you are not in this alone and suggestions of new ideas to try.
