The hardest part of life is living a full and enjoyable life, especially when there is heartache, emotional or physical pain, anxiety and fears, and losses that were unexpected. I can help you make sense out of this life and find the strength and hope to manage changes to improve how you live, how you feel, and how you feel about how you are living when you can't change your life or your circumstances. I can help you reduce the panic of anxiety, the intensity of traumatic fears, the reactivity to emotional circumstances, and reduce the grief of all sorts of losses experienced or anticipated.

My name is Bethany and I have been working most closely with college students (both undergrad and graduate) for the past 7 years. I know it can be challenging time with many changes while you are trying to adjust to being on your own, or even trying to break out on your own. I am happy to work with you if you are in school, but I am happy to work with anyone beyond the traditional college age or even those not in school.

Female Therapists

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
