Education and Training
My name is Bethany. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Genetics from Texas A&M University, College Station, and a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Edward’s University in Austin. I am an LPC-Associate, supervised by Johanna Montenegro, LPC-S and a Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). I am EMDR trained with extensive advanced EMDR trainings. I have furthered my studies to equip me with the necessary certifications and skills to work with trauma, complex trauma, crisis, grief, loss by suicide, maternal mental health, natural/manmade disasters, and chronic illness. I am passionate to help others in ongoing traumatic situations like acute/chronic illness of self or a family member, cancer survivors, first responders, police officers, medical professionals, and members of the helping community.
I bring together faith, sarcasm, and science in a way that helps clients feel seen, challenged, and supported. I’m passionate about walking alongside individuals as they step outside their comfort zones and move toward more fulfilling, authentic lives. I consider it a deep honor to witness the strength it takes to begin that process.
I am a bit of a nerd and truly enjoy learning— whether that’s through reading, research, or attending advanced trainings. I also enjoy all things outdoorsy—especially with water—and spending time with those I love. One of my most rewarding pursuits is volunteering! I am currently serving as the President Elect for the Texas Hill Country Counseling Association. You can often find me volunteering with youth at my church.
A little about me…
A treatment plan as unique as you…
