“I strive to provide the best quality of therapeutic care to all those who venture on this journey with me. After all, oftentimes the hardest part is asking for help in the first place.”

MA, LMHC
Serving Parrish Hospital employees during covid-19
Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Titusville, Florida specializing in the treatment of adolescents and adults, ages 13 and up.
I am pleased to now offer on-site counseling services at Parrish Medical Center (main hospital). While this pandemic has posed new challenges for everyone, I am excited to support to you, our local healthcare workers on the frontlines, right in your workplace! Appointments are encouraged, but walk-in appointments are available Fridays, 10-2 on first come, first serve basis.
More about me:
I work with my clients to help teach the importance of how our thoughts and emotions affect our actions, develop appropriate coping skills, foster relationships, and provide supportive reflection that is sometimes needed to just get through the day.
I earned a Master of Arts degree in Forensic Psychology from Argosy University in 2011, as well as additional coursework in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. A great deal of my therapeutic work has been with adolescents and their families, providing emotional, social, and educational advisement. My experience areas include treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, familial conflict, bullying issues, eating disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and communication/social skill deficits. Additionally, I have provided psychoeducational support teaching foster and kinship parents in the areas of anger management, stress reduction and management, identifying “red flag behaviors” in youth, and channeling negative behaviors.
My treatment method often varies from client to client, as no two people are exactly alike. Sometimes this means treating just the individual, and sometimes it means involving caregivers or other family/support members. I partner with my clients to develop effective treatment plans that focus on setting achievable therapeutic goals. Using cognitive behavioral techniques such as cognitive restructuring, development of coping skills, and assertiveness training, I guide my clients through the more difficult times in life and provide support along the way. Most importantly, I strive to provide the best quality of therapeutic care to all those who venture on this journey with me. After all, oftentimes the hardest part is asking for help in the first place.

Testimonial
“I would like to say that working with Bethany has been a great experience for my daughter as well as myself as a parent. It was difficult for my daughter to open up to someone with such personal information about herself, however she was able to do so with the guidance and encouragement from Bethany. Bethany has been able to assist my daughter to be able to solve her problems and pursue a path that was suited to her abilities and aspirations. Bethany used specialized and individualized techniques that have been extremely positive in my daughter’s life and as a family in whole. I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to work with Bethany and the amazing work that she has done.”
