Bethany Hays AMFT # 154801

Supervised by Megan Paterson, LMFT #53371

My name is Bethany and I would love to walk with you during this difficult period of life. Maybe you are dealing with stressors at school or in your personal life? Perhaps you have experienced loss or changes are happening within your family system that feel out of control. I have a passion for working with teens, young adults, and women, helping them feel seen, heard, and supported. I offer a judgement-free zone where you can be open and honest and know that you will be met with compassion and empathy. I utilize aspects of dialectical behavioral therapy, Cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution focused therapy. We will work together to determine the goals that are important to you, and we will work towards those goals together. In addition, I have experience working with anxiety, depression, suicide ideation, self-harm, struggles with friendships, relationships or finding healthy attachments. I would love to partner with you”

Cancelation Policy

If you are unable to attend a scheduled session, please provide at least 24 business hours’ notice for appointments that are 60 minutes or less. For appointments longer than 60 minutes, at least 48 hours’ notice is required. Cancellations made with less notice are charged the full session rate

Therapy Session Fees

Therapy fees reflect the therapist’s professional time and clinical care provided in connection with your scheduled appointment. This includes time spent preparing for, conducting, and following up on your session.

Because therapy is a collaborative and individualized process, outcomes can vary from person to person and cannot be guaranteed. Our fees are therefore based on the professional time and clinical care provided, rather than a specific therapeutic outcome. For this reason, fees for completed therapy sessions are non-refundable.
