Bethany Yates

Are you worthy of healing? This question often makes people feel uncomfortable. A lot of people come to therapy unable to create lasting change because they believe they are unworthy of healing. Together we can discover just how worthy you are. ​ I'm Bethany Yates: your friendly neurodivergant therapist based in Southern Maryland. Being a healer has come naturally to me since childhood and has lead me to become a licensed clinical social worker and level two certified complex trauma professional. I specialize in working with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Borderline Personality Disorder, LGBTQ Issues, Codependency, and Adoption Issues. I bring my warm and witty personality into the professional setting in order to establish genuine connections with clients. I view each client as my equal and view therapy as a team approach for navigating pain and hope. I define a therapy session as a time set aside to connect with a mental health professional with the shared intention of healing. During sessions, I provide you with my undivided attention, empathy, insight, and training in order to help you reach your goals. In addition to providing evidence-based treatments, I promote healing by utilizing the expressive arts, intersectional feminism, buddhist psychology, tarot readings, journaling, and dark humor. -
