Therapists in State College, PA

We have experience working with a variety of mental health needs such as Depression, Anxiety, Personality Disorders, Trauma and PTSD, Crisis Management, ADHD, Grief, and Eating Disorders/Disordered Eating,

Everyone is on a journey, but not every journey is the same. My approach to therapy begins with meeting you where you are at in your journey and allowing you to create a space to share your story, supporting you as you address mental health issues you feel are creating challenges in your day-to-day life and creating the changes you desire. Together we can address issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, major life transitions, and more so you can begin to thrive in your journey through life.

Do you want to simply "survive" in life, or do you want to "thrive" in life? Unfortunately many of us are simply surviving. My name is Bethanne Fetzer. With over two decades in the field of human services, I, along with my dedicated staff have created a space coupled with highly effective treatment approaches to help you to live again! We offer services to those who need to heal from depression, anxiety, family conflict, life transitions, sex and gender issues, trauma, abuse, and grief and loss.

Welcome! I am a licensed social worker with ten years’ experience working in mental health with a wide variety of populations. At this time I am accepting referrals for ages 14 and up. I primarily use a client-centered approach to treatment that can be easily adapted to meet the needs of individuals. I am certified in trauma-informed practice and specialize in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. I have a special interest in anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment and family dynamics.

Welcome to my practice. No matter what circumstances have led you here, I hope to provide a safe place for you to explore, heal, and grow. Maybe life has presented some new challenges for you and you need to grow to meet those challenges. Maybe anxiety, depression, or some other experience seems to have hijacked your life and you want some guidance. Maybe your relationship isn't going the way you hoped and you wonder if there is a better way. Counseling is a tool for getting yourself into a healthier happier place.

I look forward to helping you heal from your past hurts and those places where you are stuck in the present. I believe that "Nothing changes if nothing changes," and if we do not identify and work on our unfinished emotional business we continue to experience the same symptoms and challenges like being in a continuous negative loop where the past is affecting the present. I treat individuals with: Trauma; Childhood Emotional Abuse and Neglect; Depression; Anxiety; Dysfunctional Relationships and Disordered Eating.

As we journey through life, there are times our travel becomes weary. We may feel lost, plagued by doubt, or burdened by uncertainty. Yet we are strong, resilient, and determined. We simply need a guide to help us discover the path forward. That is where Forward Path Counseling can help.

Mental health symptoms like depression, anxiety, anger, stress, etc., are just that- symptoms! These symptoms are our bodies way of telling us "something's not right" or "there needs to be a change here." It is imperative that we are mindful in listening to our bodies, and intentionally work to meet our emotional needs. In therapy, we dedicate time to build insight, strengthen more compassionate mindsets, and learn coping skills which regulate our bodies.

My experience in the field of mental health extends over thirty years. I specialize in working with those who suffer from anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and trauma, but also, a number of other issues which brings people to treatment who are looking for relief from their symptoms.

Having a compassionate counselor on your side during stressful times can be a great comfort. Whether you’re facing general stress, anxiety or depression Mana Life Counseling is here for you. Together, you’ll break down obstacles in your life and build a personal toolbox of coping strategies. Compassion and understanding are both key strategies in our approach, and through them, you’ll learn how to forge your way forward.

Hi! I'm looking for clients to encourage and support in becoming their best selves! I want to help YOU invest in YOU! No issues are too big or too small. Clients from all walks of life are welcome to reach out! I'm excited to work with you to find the answer to your questions such as: "How can I be happy?" How do I stop suffering?" "Where do I go from here?"

It's wonderful you are taking the time to poke around and find a therapist that will be a fit for you. Honestly this may be one of the most important pieces in the whole process of therapy - that you and the therapist 'click' and are able to co-create a trusting, collaborative relationship. My hope is that our work together brings more groundedness and balance into your life. And this journey looks different for each of us. It’s an active process, discovering unhelpful patterns of physical sensation-emotion-thought reactivity and then co-creating mindful, body-based practices that draw on your inner strengths and facilitate healing

I am a licensed clinical social worker offering telehealth therapy sessions for Pennsylvania residents aged 14 and older. I am trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and also utilize CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) and mindfulness strategies. I became a therapist because I love learning people’s stories and helping them look at things with a fresh perspective. I bring curiosity to each session, as we explore the past and look at present difficulties. Typically, the things you are struggling with now have roots in the past: when we address the pain of yesterday, today gets easier.

Accepting new clients! You often feel like you are navigating a world that was not meant for you. You have spent years trying to find "your place" in the chaos but continue to struggle with where that is and how to even begin exploring that in a way that feels safe and supportive. Honestly, you have a hard time envisioning what it would even feel like to have found "your place". You often feel "other" and "on the outside", which makes social and romantic relationships difficult and only exacerbates the feelings and experiences you already struggle with on a daily basis. Anxiety, grief and loss, depression, neurodiversity, stress...

To live is to suffer; to survive is to find meaning in the suffering (Neitzsche).  We would never be able to experience our joy had we not of grown through our pain.

Accepting new clients! Most days, you feel like you don't have anyone on your side, and often struggle with trust. In order to be able to dive into your list of "things" and really open up, finally, you know you'll need to feel truly accepted and respected. You are starting to drown in the anxiety, stress, conflict, and depression that is swirling around you, and it's just... time. You're mostly open to the idea of therapy, but you need a balance of processing AND skills that you can apply in your day-to-day life. Sometimes, even thinking about the process of looking for a therapist is enough to exhaust you and then paralyze you.
