LICSW, 8 years of experience
My name is Bethany Gravely. I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2018. I continue to feel the same passion for my job now as I did when I first started. I am so proud of you for taking the first step to talk about your mental health. Choosing the right therapist can be a rewarding experience, but also scary. It is my job to help you navigate the stressors of life and explore different ways for you to cope with them. We all experience stress on some level so your feelings are valid and worth discussing with someone who truly cares! My style of counseling allows for you to be in charge of your therapy. If you want helpful reading material, evidenced based practices, solutions or just a listening ear, my goal is to help you with where you are today. You are not a burden. You are not undeserving. You are not broken, or a mess to be cleaned up. You are so endlessly enough. When I’m not working, I am spending time with my husband, our two little ones, our 3 dogs, and our cat. We just recently bought a 40 acre farm and spend our free time making it our forever home! We are hopeful to bring in larger farm animals in the upcoming years and learn to homestead!
In our first session, we will have our brief introductions and then dive in to what specific challenges you are facing. I always ask people, “what brings you to me?” And allow you the floor to express all of your concerns!
I want you to feel heard and validated. Sometimes just having an empathetic ear makes the biggest difference when you are going through a rough patch in life. I care about you and what is going on whether it seems like a big problem that feels impossible to overcome or if it is as small as your dog does not like the 5th brand of food you bought him. No issue is too small!
My primary client focus is on anxiety, depression, family conflicts, parenting, coping skills, grief, stress, self esteem, women's issues, spirituality, Borderline Personality Disorder, Bipolar, Divorce, and trauma. I try my hardest to accommodate your needs while maintaining boundaries, of course! We will brainstorm together to discover what treatment works best for you!

Very kind while still questioning assumptions I make to challenge my worldview. Very rational while still having high levels of empathy.

She has been a life savior to me. She helped me when I was at my lowest.

We all have thoughts, but not all of them are valid. The point of CBT is to challenge these anxious and negative thoughts to also change our behavior!
