I'm Bethany Haug, LPC (she/her), and I'm glad you're here. Please take your time to consider if what I have to share resonates with what you're hoping to experience in therapy, or maybe inspires some hope or curiosity in you for what therapy could be.
I work well with individuals who want to explore their inner world and feel more connected to themselves and others. My goal as a therapist is to provide a foundation of safety for deep and embodied work.
I am guided by the understanding that turning toward the root of one's suffering leads to healing. I believe that a good therapist is both a guide and companion for the journey.
MY APPROACH TO THERAPY
My approach to therapy is relational and experiential. Being relational means that I bring my own experience of our process into the session so that we can join in working together and stand on equal footing. Being experiential means that I invite present-moment awareness of what you are experiencing in your body, mind, and in our session to encourage new experience and new learning. This includes bringing curiosity to survival strategies and protective patterns as they emerge in our work. We'll integrate your experience of old and new ways of being, so that new meaning, choice, and flexibility can emerge. My clients often describe this way of working as surprising, rewarding, and quite different from their previous experiences with therapy.
