About Me

Hi! My name is Bethanie.  I'm happy you stopped by!

​

I feel therapy is based in connection.  This trust creates the foundation and opportunity for openness, growth, healing, and learning.  

​​

I specialize in creating a safe, trusting, honest, and fun environment for children and adolescents, helping them recognize their strengths and navigate life's challenges. I extend this same supportive space to adults, understanding that everyone faces their own struggles and needs a place to be heard and supported.

​

With this connection in mind, I'd like to share a bit about myself. Questions? Just ask!

 

My passion for working with children and families started when I began babysitting at the age of twelve. In 10th grade, I realized I wanted to become a therapist, and since then, I have gained experience working with both adults and children in various roles.

​​

I was born and raised in Northern NY on the St. Lawrence River.  I graduated from SUNY Plattsburgh with a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology.  My travels after college led me cross-county, in AZ for a year, then 'settling' in ME in 2001.  I graduated with my Master's Degree in Counseling in 2010 from the University of Southern Maine. 

​

Camping, travelling and being in nature with my wife and friends are my greatest adventures.  Sunshine is my happy space! 

​

I strongly believe in equal rights for everyone and am passionate about supporting and uplifting all individuals.

 

Welcome!​​​​​​​
