Trauma Healing Intensives

Working with my therapist Bethany over the past three years has truly been life-changing. When I first started, I didn’t even realize how much unprocessed trauma I was carrying. Through her guidance, patience, and ability to create a safe, nonjudgmental space, I’ve been able to uncover, face, and begin healing parts of myself I didn’t even know needed attention.

She has a gift for asking the right questions at the right time, never forcing, always allowing me to come to my own understanding. That alone has helped me build a deeper sense of self-awareness and emotional intelligence. I’ve grown not only in how I handle challenges, but in how I understand myself, my patterns, and my worth.

What I appreciate most is that our work hasn’t just been about talking, it’s been about real growth. I’ve learned healthier coping mechanisms, how to sit with my emotions instead of avoiding them, and how to move through life with more clarity and intention.

Healing isn’t easy, but having the right therapist makes all the difference. I’m genuinely grateful for the progress I’ve made and for the role she’s played in helping me become a stronger, more self-aware version of myself.

I’m still growing, and I’m grateful to have her on this journey with me.

Bethany is a phenomenal therapist. We used many different tools throughout my therapy journey with her. 

I came to her for one thing and was able to work through years of trauma. With her help I found my voice and be confidence in my stance. I recommend her to anyone ready to put in the work. 

I’ve been seeing Bethany for a little over a year and half now and toward the end of last year, she suggested that we do an intensive EMDR session. Unfortunately I’ve experienced a lot of trauma in my lifetime and while we have made a lot of progress during my time with her, our normal sessions just weren’t enough. Leading up to the intensive, we did a lot of prep work. 

Bethany was really good about letting me know exactly what to expect and I believe that’s why our session went so well. We created a timeline (including breaks), picked out the traumas that I felt needed the most work ( you can do up to 5, but we did 3 during mine) and really made sure I understood how this would benefit my healing journey and that she was supporting me the whole way through. We did the session on a Saturday morning, it was 5 hours but honestly the time flew by once we found our flow. 

In the moment, it felt hard and like she told me during prep, I did want to quit. However, with her help, i was able to push through and finish the session strong. I’m now 4 weeks post session & I’ve been about to see a huge difference. I’m able to talk about the things that once made my stomach drop at the thought of them with ease in normal conversations. Navigating daily life is easier too. I'm not plagued by anxiety and always waiting for the other shoe to drop. 

My outlook has changed and I can 1000% attribute it to not only the EMDR intensive but the work I do with her on a regular basis. I went through a couple therapist & even gave up on therapy for a while before I found her. The amount of growth I was able to see in myself after 6 months with her blew my mind and I’m really in awe of how far I’ve come in my journey now. 

Bethany has been a tremendous help on this journey back to myself and I’m so happy I found her when I did. She is truly phenomenal at what she does and I will never stop singing her praises. Thank you Bethany for being the amazing therapist that you are. You are truly one of one! If you were looking for a sign to do the EMDR intensive or just therapy in general, let this be it. You won’t regret it.
