Therapists in California

Please read FIRST: 1. I am ONLY offering CHAT/AUDIO MESSAGE EXCHANGE therapy at this time. I am not available for video/phone meetings at this time. The PROS of this offering of therapy include: more flexibility for you and I to touch base as needed! :) Chat therapy would include the use of general message exchange, journal entry communication, worksheets and audio message exchange. I am confident that you would receive great services with this structure if you are interested. Ideally, we would touch base 5-10x/week (1-2x/day Monday-Friday). This form of therapy is not intended for crisis situations or if you are experiencing severe mental health symptoms. If at any point I believe that you need more intensive services, I will refer you to receive more intensive services. I understand that this structure is not for everyone, so if you are interested in this structure of therapy, please continue reading and I look forward to meeting you! :) 2. We will not use the calendar feature or book scheduled time slots. Rather, we will plan to touch base during the time frames of 6am-6pm Monday and Friday openly. Hi, and thanks for visiting! My name is Bethany and I am glad to meet you! I was raised in a very eclectic city, thus I have an appreciation for culture, arts, music and outdoor activities! Did I mention I really love food and cooking? I do! I can be described as easy-going, understanding, down to earth and goal-oriented. I find myself constantly thinking about current goals, new goals and old goals. Don’t worry-I also know what it’s like to be kind to yourself when energy isn’t exactly matching goals. We all need a break sometimes! Sometimes we need a break from work, others or even ourselves. My goal is to help you find your path on your journey and help find what uniquely works for you!

I check my mail 1-2 times daily and will respond to your message by 6 PM Monday-Friday. *Note: When it is time to schedule and depending on what time you select, I may also ask you to readjust that time up to 15 minutes if I have a client before or after you.
