To heal, grow and become more intimate with all that you are is to begin on a path that is both awakening and transforming. I use an intuitive and integrative mix of the transpersonal and contemplative, somatic and evidence-based, humanistic and Gestalt. This approach to health and healing is emotionally literate, spiritually attuned, and psychologically grounded. You can expect to gain strength, experience relief from emotional pain, feel much more self-accepting, responsible, conscious, purposeful and assertive. A healthy, confident, relaxed, and peaceful life may be just around the corner. All issues are welcome. Work is done with individuals, couples and/or families.

I specialize in grief, loss and life transition issues of all kind, including depression, anxiety and trauma. I am EMDR trained and am a mindfulness meditation instructor. See http://www.bethspatterson.com for more information and to schedule an appointment. With my compassionate guidance, you can transform grief and loss into healing and growth. I offer a free half-hour consultation.
