Bethany Bahl, MA

Bethany is a pre-licensed therapist holding an advanced degree in mental health counseling from NYU. She specializes in providing individual psychotherapy for adults struggling with life transitions (e.g. moving, starting a new job or school, relationship beginnings or endings), anxiety and worry, depression, LGBTQIA+ issues, identity concerns, and trauma.

Bethany provides a collaborative, affirming approach to therapy that combines mindfulness, skill-building, and empathetic exploration, working to challenge stuck patterns while celebrating and building upon her client’s existing strengths. She has a trained in the implementation of evidenced-based treatments such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with clients from a diverse range of backgrounds. She often encourage conversations about identity, oppression, and privilege with my clients, as I believe therapy can provide an important space to understand and address the effects of  racism, sexism, heterosexism, classism, and ableism on our lives.

Prior to working in private practice, Bethany trained at New York University’s Center for Counseling and Community Wellbeing, a community outpatient setting, while also obtaining her M.A. in counseling for mental health and wellness from NYU. Bethany’s passion for destigmatizing mental health and promoting wellness in underserved communities has led her to previous work experiences with The Trevor Project and Frontline Arts. In addition to work as a therapist, she is a volunteer for New York City’s branch of the Association for Contextual Behavioral Science.
