Bethany is warm, friendly, open and a positive role model for young women! Bethany's focus is on a young girl's relationship with herself, with others and with God.

The Process

Through in person one on one sessions or telehealth, Bethany equips young women using strategies, tools, processes and exercises to increase a young lady's self-understanding, self-acceptance and self-worth. Sometimes there are assignments if desired, journaling questions, book readings, worksheets or specific art projects depending on the age or what is needed. Bethany not only empowers young women to deepen self-awareness and bring change to desired areas, she also helps them to meet their core needs and values when they are in internal conflict. Bethany is excellent at helping young women challenge their negative thinking and renew their mind. She is open to praying together if this is something that feels comfortable and is desired.
