Hi, I'm Bethany Akudike! I am person-centered in my therapy techniques and have worked with folks across the lifespan dealing with grief, loss, and life transitions. I have clinical experience in various settings with clients who have anxiety, depression, PTSD, and a spectrum of dissociative disorders, including Dissociative Identity Disorder. I am trained in EMDR and Trauma Model Therapy and can incorporate elements of these modalities into my work with clients ages 11+. I believe in looking beyond symptoms and behaviors to find the root cause of an issue, and I strive to make sure clients are heard and understood.

I specialize in PTSD, dissociative disorders, grief, and religious trauma. I work from a trauma-focused approach. I have a non-pathologizing stance, meaning that I see your symptoms as a response rather than something "wrong" with you. I am committed to working with you session by session, offering a nonjudgmental space for you to get to know yourself.

Whether this is your first time reaching out or your tenth, it can be difficult to make the effort to find a counselor. I am glad to answer any questions you may have before scheduling an appointment, so please contact me to see if I may be a good fit for your needs! I typically return emails and phone calls within 1-2 business days.

I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, depression, and helping people deal with difficult life experiences. Each person and situation is unique, and I will typically spend the first session or two getting to know you. We will work together throughout therapy to find out what helps you specifically, and many clients see improvement of symptoms as they also get to know and care about themselves.

I offer talk therapy to all my clients, and together we will explore your needs and goals, and how to best meet them. I am trained in EMDR, which stands for "Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing." This modality is evidence-based and is indicated to significantly reduce symptoms of trauma. EMDR is not appropriate for everyone, and we can discuss whether this treatment is right for you.
