Hi, I’m bethany russell.
I've always been someone who doesn't give up. When traditional approaches fell short, my tenacious nature led me to seek healing that honored every part of me - mind, body, and spirit.
Through my own journey with IFS (parts work), nervous system healing, and spiritual practices, I discovered what real transformation feels like. Not just understanding your patterns intellectually, but feeling the shift in your entire system.
That's when I knew I had to share these tools with others who, like me, refuse to settle for 'good enough.’
I blend trauma-informed science with intuitive wisdom.
Recently, I trained in Costa Rica with Richard Schwartz, the founder of Internal Family Systems, learning about Legacy Burdens - the inherited trauma patterns that live in our nervous systems. This work goes beyond traditional therapy to create healing you can feel in your body, not just understand in your mind.
You aren't broken, and you don't need fixing.
What you need is someone who can help you untangle the old stories and nervous system patterns that keep you stuck. When we clear those blocks, you can finally trust yourself again.
I CREATE SPACE FOR PARTS OF YOU THAT OTHER THERAPISTS MIGHT NOT UNDERSTAND.
I honor your spiritual and intuitive gifts as strengths.
I specialize in helping spiritually and intuitively gifted individuals integrate their abilities without having them questioned, dismissed, or pathologized. Your connection to energy, intuition, and spiritual realms can be strengthened, explored, and clarified through our work together.
I celebrate your authentic relationship style and sexual expression.
I work with LGBTQ+, polyamorous, and kink communities, especially those navigating non-traditional relationship structures, from a place of celebration, not pathology. Your authentic ways of loving and expressing intimacy are honored & supported here.
I understand how chronic conditions affect your whole system.
I know that chronic conditions, such as endometriosis and PMDD, impact not just your physical body, but your nervous system, emotional regulation, and sense of self. I integrate mind-body approaches that honor this complex experience.
I understand the entrepreneurial and high-achiever mindset.
Your ambition, drive, and business focus aren't character flaws or signs of workaholism—they're expressions of your vision and purpose. I work with entrepreneurs and C-level executives, bringing a unique perspective that has helped many high-level clients excel while maintaining their mental health and authentic self-expression.
MY FOUNDATION IN SCIENCE + SOUL
I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Colorado, California, and Texas. I earned my Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Trevecca Nazarene University and my Bachelor's in Psychology from Middle Tennessee State University.
I'm committed to staying at the cutting edge of trauma healing. Recently, I trained in Costa Rica with Richard Schwartz, the founder of Internal Family Systems, specializing in Legacy Burdens. I'm IFS Level I trained and completing Level II this fall ‘25. I'm also EMDR Level II trained.
I believe healers must continue their own healing work. Through my ongoing therapy, spiritual practices like Reiki (Level II certified), mentorship in somatic work and intuitive practices, and working with coaches in fitness, nutrition, and business, I'm committed to walking the same path I invite my clients to explore.
