Bethany Anderson
(She/Her/Hers)
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC)
Bethany works with adults who are learning to set healthy boundaries in relationships, managing overwhelming emotions like worry, anxiety, and depression.
Hi! If you're struggling to recognize your emotions or feel invalidated, you're not alone. Many find themselves feeling trapped in relationships, facing tough decisions, or uncertain about their life paths. Grief, anxiety, and profound sadness can be overwhelming. I specialize in helping both teens and adults navigate these emotions and find direction. By creating a judgment-free environment, we can process feelings, explore options, and work through challenging relationships for greater clarity. In our counseling sessions, I offer a compassionate ear focused on your unique circumstances. Together, we’ll delve into your experiences, using reflective questions to gain insight. My goal is to support you in overcoming barriers that prevent you from living the life you desire. I won’t tell you what to do; instead, I’ll guide you in exploring your thoughts and feelings to uncover your own answers. I believe everyone can benefit from therapy. If you have questions about the process or want to schedule an intake appointment, please reach out. It would be a privilege to work with you!

EMDR trained
EMDRIA
EMDR allows me to help clients overcome emotional experiences that feel overwhelming or traumatic. EMDR is an evidence-based treatment that makes it easier to process difficult experiences, often without having to verbally describe them, or become flooded with the memories. More info can be found on my website (link below).
