Internal Family Systems
Getting curious about the different parts of ourselves with compassion — and finding the wholeness beneath them.
Kindness Within Counseling
A space to slow down,
turn inward, and heal.
Trauma therapy with Becky Bethards, LCSW. Twenty years of careful, attuned therapeutic work with adults.
Welcome
Something brought you here.
Maybe it's the old patterns are running the show, relationships that feel harder than they should, or a part of you that's been carrying something heavy for a long time. You don't have to keep carrying it alone.
I work with adults who are ready to explore the roots of what shapes them — not just to understand it, but to begin to move through it. This is a space where something in you can begin to soften, where the fragmented parts of your experience can slowly find their way toward integration. This is slow, careful, meaningful work. And it can change everything.
Approach
How we might
work together.
Trauma doesn't live only in our thoughts. It lives in the body, in the nervous system's learned patterns of protection, and in the way we relate. The modalities I draw on let us work with all of these dimensions together, gently, at your pace.
EMDR
Gently processing memories held in the body and nervous system that words alone cannot always reach.
Sensorimotor Psychotherapy
Bringing the body into healing — completing what was once left unfinished.
Psychedelic-Assisted & KAP
Preparation and integration support — where the lasting work of meaning-making happens.
“At the heart of this work is a belief that healing happens when we begin to relate to ourselves with greater understanding and kindness.”Becky Bethards, LCSW

About Becky
Twenty years of trauma work.
Quietly held, carefully done.
I'm Becky Bethards, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I grew up in Montana, studied Psychology at Iowa State, and earned my Masters of Social Work at Colorado State. Before private practice I spent years at child advocacy centers in Minneapolis and Denver, and taught Child and Adolescent Trauma at the University of Denver's Graduate School of Social Work.
Now I work with adults who are ready to understand how their early experiences continue to shape their lives, and to begin to move toward greater freedom. The thread running through it has always been the same: a deep belief in the human capacity to heal.
