For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?

Oh man, there's a powerful message out there that says couple's therapy is for people who are on the verge of divorce or for couple's who hate each other or for people who are really "sick". While partners facing those challenges will certainly benefit from therapy, I believe every couple can use some extra support from time to time. Therapy can be used for life transitions like the last kid moving away or buying a new house. It might be helpful for couples to re-learn how to communicate well or for those who wish to reignite true intimacy.  In short, I would love to tell people who are hesitant about couple's therapy to trust themselves. You're looking for it for a reason, and that's really brave, so trust yourself. Just take the next step to get started...it might not be easy, but it'll be worth it.   

My training in couples work and trauma means I have the expertise you need and deserve when seeking therapy. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a real-life human struggling with all the demands of life right? I get it because I’m an actual wife, mom, entrepreneur, and daughter of a Law Enforcement Officer. I know that balancing family and marriage while trying to maintain sanity and a career is the opposite of easy. I also firmly believe in the healing power of humor and story-telling. So you won’t get a stuffy, intellectual in a suit when you work with me….you’ll get a real person.

Have you thought to yourself you should have started a while ago? That's your instincts at work. Your body and mind know something is off. The power to create change and heal is all within you. A therapist is just your guide to help you uncover that. It's not without hard work sometimes, but believe me you are worth it. The result is you being happy with yourself and enjoying your life again. That is worth it. You'll be glad you started this time.

I believe that everyone has the power within them to create positive shifts in the way one experiences and expresses their emotions, in turn creating positive shifts and experiencing their world around them. My intention is to help you uncover your power. I have worked as an Art Therapist since 2009 in the mental health and substance abuse fields. Most recently, I have worked in an acute psychiatric hospital setting for the past 9yrs and have been in private practice for 5yrs. I am proud to have assisted 2 organizations in developing their first Art Therapy programs. In private practice I work mainly with adults who struggle with anxiety and/or depression. We practice mindfulness and somatic awareness skills together with art therapy to minimize the barriers that anxiety and depression create in my client's lives.

Please don’t be afraid or apprehensive of the process. It’s my job to help you feel accepted and comfortable in a judgment-free setting. You are deserving and good enough. We will tailor the treatment to your needs, what you want yo get out of therapy, and your feedback is super helpful. We can control the pace of therapy so that you feel safe and can tolerate the work that you’re doing. The therapeutic relationship is a professional partnership and your input is so important. I want you to feel in control and empowers. Please share your questions and concerns. Take the step and give it a try. 

Are you ready to make some changes? I’m a therapist with 25+ years of experience. I help clients with anxiety and trauma develop new skills and insights to feel calmer, confident and in control. If you are struggling with feeling fearful, nervous, overwhelmed, irritable and physically ill, I can help. Therapy can provide you with the tools to be your authentic self, improve relationships and just feel better.  I’m Certified in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Professional and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (Level II). I would love to speak with you about any questions you have and what you’d like to accomplish in therapy. I offer a free 15 minute phone consultation to see if we’d work well together. Let’s chat today. 

There are a lot of people that are hesitant to try therapy. One thing that I would tell them is that it is okay to ask for help. We all need help some time and we are here to help. I would also encourage them to speak with others that have gone to therapy.

Hello! My name is KaRon Spriggs-Bethea. I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have been practicing for about 5 years. I have a very eclectic background in the field which has made it enjoyable to help many different people. I work with individuals and couples. The services I provide are: anxiety/depression, gender identity and sexuality, and substance use/addiction. I am patient, empathetic and easy to talk to. I like to create a supportive and nurturing environment to help clients feel comfortable while working with me. Building trusting relationships and witnessing breakthroughs is something that makes this work very rewarding.

It’s worth a try! Most people think about therapy for a LONG time before their first appointment, and that’s okay. You’ll get there when the time is right for you. 

You’re overwhelmed by being everything to everyone. While everyone else sleeps, your mind races with worst case scenarios as you dissect a minor experience from earlier in the day. It’s hard making decisions about even the simplest things. Life just isn’t as much fun as you want. You’ve tried talking to your friends about this stuff, but it never seems to help or change anything. Stacks of self help books go unread on your nightstand and following lifestyle influencers makes your self esteem plummet. Life is hard and it doesn’t come with an instruction manual. You deserve to be truly seen and heard without judgement. Your own answers live within you, and when you reach out for support, I’ll help you find them. 

I get it--therapy can be intimidating! Will I like my therapist? Will my therapist like me? What will we talk about? One thing I'd like you to know is that every therapist is different, and it may take a few tries to find the one you jive really well with. I personally really value a therapist who doesn't take the "expert" role, and instead who wants to brainstorm together. If this sounds like what you might be looking for, I'd love to meet with you. I offer a free consultation to get us started.

Are you finally at a place in your life where you're no longer in survival mode? You’ve hit six figures? You’re checking off the bucket list items? Your friends and family think you’re doing so well… but there's still something missing? I get it. I help high-achieving, creative women like you face the ghosts of your past that are preventing you from reaching your goals. Past toxic relationships, traumatic experiences, and "crazy" emotions can keep us stuck in self sabotaging patterns, and prevent us from making friends with our feelings. You might experience low levels of chronic depression and anxiety. How do I know? I was there! I was a Director at a large agency at the top of my field, married, house, dog, had it all. Yet, I still felt like something was missing. Thanks to my clinical training I was able to understand past trauma (that I wasn’t addressing) was the culprit. Now I help high-achieving women fill that last missing piece in their lives. I'm a mixed race BIPOC, queer woman, and therapist. If you want a therapist who is a collaborative partner that can share resources, ideas, and motivate you, as well as offer science backed tools to heal trauma, I’d be honored if you'd consider working with me.

Therapy is a great way to lay out your struggles and sort through them with someone who just wants to find the best way to make sense of it all.

I have been practicing pediatric mental health therapy for over 10 years. I approach therapy with kids by using play, creative techniques, and games to help kids feel comfortable and open up. I'd love to meet with your family and see how we can help your child and your family be the healthiest version of themselves.

Therapy does not mean that something is wrong with you, therapy serves to help clients find clarity in areas of your life, it's to help you work through complex emotions and traumatic experiences. In you therapy you will learn to challenge negative thinking and develop new techniques to cope with difficult situations. It's also a space to focus on personal growth.
