Bethany Putnam, LISW — Therapist in Ohio

Hi there, I'm Bethany!

Both aging and caring for a loved one on their journey can feel isolating and overwhelming. I aim to provide a safe, supportive space where you can share your experiences, process challenges, and find strength and connection along the way.

My focus

Older adults navigate the challenges of aging, including emotional, social, and mental health aspects. Caregivers supporting loved ones through aging, who may experience stress, isolation, or burnout. Individuals looking for a safe, supportive space to process daily life experiences, emotions, and challenges.

My approach

I take a supportive and person-centered approach to care, focusing on the unique needs of older adults and their caregivers. Through open dialogue, validation, and practical tools, I help clients navigate stress, strengthen coping strategies, and foster connection in their daily lives.

My communication style

I like my sessions to feel like a genuine conversation. I provide a warm and empathetic environment while offering feedback and guidance grounded in evidence-based practices, helping clients explore challenges and find practical strategies for growth.

My journey to mental healthcare

My work with older adults began at my local nursing home. What started as a job became a passion, leading me to dedicate my career to educating, advocating for, and supporting older adults. I help clients navigate healthcare, access resources, and provide a trusted space for those who need to talk.

My goals for you

I work closely with clients to identify their unique goals and develop a plan that feels achievable and meaningful. Through empathetic listening, evidence-based strategies, and ongoing support, I help clients build skills, navigate challenges, and make progress at a pace that works for them.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll have an open conversation to get to know each other and ensure you feel comfortable and safe. You may not have one specific reason for seeking therapy, and that's okay. Together, we'll explore stressors, relationships, and ways to empower you to navigate life day by day.
