Getting to know Bethany Porter
Hi there, I'm Bethany!
Hello! My name is Bethany Porter, MSW, LCSW. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern Indiana and have been practicing as a therapist for over 7 years. I have worked with people facing many different diagnoses, including anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, trauma, and more. I know that life can be hard, but I have full confidence that my clients have what it takes to overcome any challenge they are facing.
My approach
My approach to therapy focuses on my clients’ natural strengths to help them navigate their challenges. I believe that understanding your strengths and how to utilize them to meet your needs will help you grow in your mental, emotional, and physical health. I typically utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside mindfulness techniques with my clients. I also have significant experience using trauma-focused therapies.
My focus
I have worked with clients from various backgrounds, including children, teens, and adults. The majority of my experience has been individual (one-on-one) work with clients.
My communication style
My clients have told me they feel very comfortable expressing themselves in sessions and trust that I will be non-judgmental about their situation. I believe my clients are the experts of their own stories, and I am here to walk alongside and support them as they create a healthy and hopeful future.
My journey to mental healthcare
My therapy journey actually started with me thinking I wanted to be a physical therapist. I quickly found out through my anatomy classes and shadowing a couple of physical therapists that I did not always have the stomach for physical injuries! However, I learned that through shadowing these physical therapists, I was more impacted by how some of their patients’ mental health was affected by sudden disability, pain, or other difficult circumstances they found themselves in.
