Bethany Sandlin

My communication style

I try to have relaxed, open, and honest communication without judgment. I may ask questions to better understand you, but I try to let you lead with what you want to discuss. I feel healthy communication is key to reaching your goals.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to counseling began when I took an elective in college. I knew it was where I needed to be and changed my major as soon as possible. I have overcome traumatic experiences throughout my life and would like to help others do the same in their lives.

My goals for you

I work with you to determine what your goals are for our time together. I will then work to help you find ways to make those goals more attainable. We can work on challenging some of your thoughts and behaviors and creating healthier ones throughout the growth process.

Our first session

The first appointment is mainly about learning you. We usually begin with what brings you to counseling and feels most pressing to you, as well as current symptoms. Depending on the time, I may ask questions to try and find out some of your past experiences that have shaped you as a person. Regardless, I try to let you tell your story.
