My decades of experience enable me to grasp and appreciate the complexity of the people I work with as I guide them to achieve lasting change. I feel fortunate that I've been able to engage in such an emotionally rewarding profession in which deep human connections are pursued and valued. Also, I specialize in working with adult males seeking change.

I’m a clinical social worker with many years of experience working with people of all ages in a variety of settings. I hold particular expertise supporting those impacted by trauma, navigating significant life transitions, experiencing grief or loss, and those struggling with mood disorders.

Entering therapy can be intimidating, and that's why I always try to meet people where they are in their process of healing, growth, and change. I'm Bethany, a licensed therapist who helps individuals navigate anxiety, stress, and life transitions with compassion and clarity. My approach is collaborative and grounded in evidence-based techniques.

I have spent the last ten years applying my clinical knowledge and love of helping to ensure a safe space that addresses the unique needs of my clients. I have significant experience working with teens, adults, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Together, we'll explore patterns, build coping tools, and strengthen your connection to yourself and others.

Whether you're feeling stuck or simply seeking balance, I'll meet you where you are and help you move toward the life you want to life. Self-discovery, growth, and healing should be a beautiful journey, as your therapist, I hope to be the vehicle guiding you.

I know reaching out can feel hard, especially when you’re already dealing with a lot. You don’t need to have everything figured out—that’s what this space is for.

If this resonates, I’d be glad to connect whenever you feel ready.

In addition to being a LMHC in the state of NY, I'm also just a human gal navigating life alongside 2 doodles and a cat; creating and interacting with nature plays an important role in my life, but before you think I'm just a calm collected artist haunting the woods mysteriously, I'm also known for sitting on a comfy chair for way too long, re-watching the same shows from the early 2000s, and collecting copious amounts of craft and art supplies that I swear I will use someday.
