Hi, and welcome! I'm a counselor in Virginia, and I'm currently accepting new virtual clients. I work with adults going through big life changes, with a special focus on supporting women and LGBTQ+ clients. Many of the people I see are dealing with anxiety, stress, burnout, grief, or the ups and downs of a major transition. My style is warm, down-to-earth, and centered on your strengths. I'll meet you where you are and help you move forward with more clarity and confidence. I also offer sessions that include time with horses, held outdoors in a calm, peaceful setting. You don't need any horse experience, and there's no riding involved. These sessions can help you feel more grounded, build your confidence, and get more comfortable with your emotions. They're available in the Harrisonburg and Rockingham County area.

Seeking support is a courageous first step, and I am honored to walk alongside my clients on their journey toward healing and growth. As a compassionate, empathetic, and solution-focused therapist, I strive to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where individuals feel heard, valued, and understood. With over 13 years of clinical experience, I work with adults facing challenges related to anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, and life transitions. My approach combines evidence-based practices, including EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness-based interventions, to help clients gain insight into unhelpful patterns, develop effective coping strategies, and build on their existing strengths. I believe that meaningful change occurs when clients feel empowered to understand themselves more deeply and take intentional steps toward the life they want to create. My goal is to help you move beyond surviving and toward thriving with greater confidence, resilience, and emotional well-being

Additionally, you can receive mindfulness-based, somatic integration, and a holistic lens to examine your needs via my 11 years’ experience and an additional master's in integrative health coaching plus 20 years’ experience in therapeutic design, so we can look together at social and environmental problem and solution spaces based upon your needs.

You keep seeing everyone posting about being their best self, and showing up for themselves. Meanwhile you are just trying to be. Whatever that be, may be for the day. I believe that in order to be your best self, you must be authentic. What does that even look like? You must be true to what you’ve endured, the things that you have overcome…the good, the bad, and even the ugly moments. I help women to embrace them all. Then we take it a step further and look at building you up as a WHOLE. So your best self starts with where you are today and then we create a plan on where you want to be and who you want to become.

**New Clients: Before scheduling, please ensure you have availability that aligns with my practice hours, particularly evening or flexible scheduling options. Because my calendar fills quickly, I encourage new clients to book several appointments in advance if they are looking for consistent care. Many long-term clients transition to biweekly or monthly sessions, which may create additional openings over time. Clients are responsible for managing their appointments. Please note that all cancellations are subject to my cancellation policy and applicable fees, with no exceptions.** Do you find yourself overthinking everything, especially your relationships, conversations, or whether you’ve disappointed someone? Maybe you’re the person everyone depends on, yet you’re quietly overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted. You may struggle to set boundaries, put other people’s needs before your own, or find yourself constantly seeking reassurance. I specialize in working with anxiety, relationship concerns, people-pleasing, perfectionism, low self-confidence, emotional overwhelm, and difficulty putting yourself first. Therapy with me is more than having a place to vent. I want to help you understand why these patterns keep showing up and learn how to change them. Together, we’ll identify the thoughts, behaviors, relationship dynamics, and emotional patterns that may be keeping you stuck. We’ll work on practical ways to manage anxiety, communicate more effectively, set boundaries without guilt, build confidence in your decisions, and stop allowing fear or other people’s reactions to determine your choices. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and active. I’ll listen and validate your experiences, but I’m not a therapist who simply nods for 50 minutes. I’ll ask questions, offer honest feedback, gently challenge unhelpful patterns, and provide practical strategies you can use outside of sessions. You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. My goal is to help you feel more confident, grounded, and in control of your life.

I have always had the conscious goal of supporting others with being able to overcome their hardships and internal challenges that prevents them from being successful. I am a firm believer that in life we have all experienced some type of challenge that will impact our thoughts and emotions. For some people the challenge is more difficult than others and they will experience greater hardship and internal challenges that will send them on a spiral to the unknown. Being a therapist has always been a desire of mine to support others with understanding their thoughts, feelings, beliefs and behaviors associated with how they feel.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, mentally unsteady, or unsure how to move forward — you don’t have to carry that alone. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and graduate of North Carolina State University. I work with adults navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, relationship stress, and questions of direction or purpose. Many of the people I support feel capable and motivated — yet internally worn down, struggling to feel grounded, present, or confident in themselves. My primary focus is helping clients stabilize emotionally and mentally — so you feel more anchored, regulated, and clear. From that place of steadiness, we begin to explore how you can grow into the fullest version of yourself, making the most of your strengths, values, and lived experience rather than trying to become someone you’re not. Therapy with me is not about pushing or fixing — it’s about creating a solid foundation where clarity, confidence, and meaningful change can naturally emerge. For those who find meaning and strength in their Christian faith, I welcome that as part of our work together — though spirituality is never required or assumed. You bring what matters to you, and we build from there.

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!

Welcome! I came to this work a little differently than some. After spending 16 years in my first career, I found myself sitting across from a therapist for the first time. That experience changed my life. It gave me not only a new perspective on myself but also a deep desire to help others in the same way. So, I made a big leap: I went back to school to become a therapist myself. Since then, it’s been over two decades of meaningful, often humbling work. I spent 21 years in community-based mental health and substance abuse treatment, and I was fortunate to serve as a contracted therapy provider for the Department of Defense—work that gave me a profound respect for the strength and resilience of those who serve. I’ve also worked in private group practice and provided therapy in intensive outpatient programs in Canada, gaining experience with a wide range of individuals and challenges along the way. In November 2021, I opened my own private practice. It’s been an incredible privilege to support individuals and couples in this more personal setting, and I truly value the relationships I build with each client. If you’re considering therapy, I want you to know you're not alone—and change really is possible.
