Bethany Andrews, LMHC — Therapist in Hawaii

Hi there, I'm Bethany!

My background is in Wilderness Therapy with private practice mixed in. My style tends to be direct and encouraging.

My focus

I typically work with people struggling to thrive. I see people with a range of issues, and believe one of the most important pieces for healing is that we are a good match.

My approach

My primary modality is Relational Therapy. That said, I have several other theoretical approaches that I use depending on what is needed, such as Gestalt, Parts Work, Trauma Relief, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, Brainspotting, Art, and more.

My communication style

I create an atmosphere free of judgment. I've seen a lot and strongly feel that we all need to feel accepted in who we are and what we struggle with. We may just have some laughs along the way as well!

My journey to mental healthcare

My own personal growth work initially attracted me to Psychology. I was torn between Environmental Studies and Psychology, and ended up finding Wilderness Therapy, the perfect combination for me. I continue to feel passionate about my own personal growth work as well as walking alongside others on their journeys towards well-being.

My goals for you

Goal setting is important to be able to check in to see if we are on track for the healing journey you envision. If this is new to you, I will help guide you through the process.

Our first session

The first session will be about getting to know you and what to expect in future sessions. We may need to complete intake paperwork, we will set goals, and most likely, we will talk about some tools that you can use at home between sessions.
