Bethany Mittelman,

Hi, I’m Bethany Mittelman (she/her).

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and earned a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Waynesburg University.  I counsel people aged thirteen and older, young adults, and adults in Pennsylvania.

How I Can Help

Everyone can experience healing and change when given a safe space, an understanding of how their brain and emotions work, and a helper to explore past and current wounds. During therapy, you will have a chance to express your own experiences and take steps to move toward your health goals in mind, body, and community.  

My Training

On the technical side of therapy work, I use techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and creative therapies, including writing, poetry, and imagery.  During therapy, I will use this training and experience to offer opportunities for change and to impact your personal growth positively.

My Experience

My work experience has included teaching and mentoring at-risk children, addiction therapy, child/adolescent therapy, and presenting psychoeducation and spiritual seminars. I have education and experience nonjudgmentally discussing anxiety, ADHD, depression, trauma symptoms, LGBTQ+ experiences, faith and spirituality, adult women with ADHD, chronic pain and disability, “Gifted Kid Syndrome,” and more.

Working as a Team

Therapy is a team effort, and I recognize how much energy and work you bring to our sessions and the therapy process. I will check in and welcome your feedback throughout our time together. If you feel like we are not a good fit, I’d be happy to connect you with another therapist.  Let’s get started in learning more about you and discovering your strengths and new skills for personal growth.

About Me

I enjoy spending time with friends and family (especially my numerous nieces and nephews), many hobbies (music, sewing, furniture restoration, puzzles), learning more (social issues, psychology, history), and dogs—every single dog.
