Message to clients

Hi, I'm Bethany McGinnis, Licensed Mental Health Counselor Associate (MHC-A) and I work at Healing Rhode Clinical Services, LLC. Thanks for taking the time to get to know a little about my style of counseling. My approach allows me to walk along side my clients as they deepen their understanding of themselves and process areas of their lives that have caused emotional pain or led to internal questioning. I specialize in helping clients through life transitions, with existential issue examination as well as grief and loss.

My aim is to help my clients develop a variety of evidence-based skills and learn techniques to come to a fuller understanding of how their past experiences impact their world view and relationships. I love assisting people in identification of their most closely-held values in service of developing better insight to themselves and informing their choices. I believe self-examination leads to strong and meaningful relationships. I cultivate a safe and non-judgmental therapeutic environment using a trauma-informed therapeutic approach to help reach your goals.

At Healing Rhode Clinical Services, LLC, we treat a variety of disorders with a specialty on trauma recovery, grief counseling, couple counseling, as well as finding full personal fulfillment and peace from depression and anxiety. The entire team at Healing Rhode collaborates together to ensure we are providing the most effective care that is evidence based as well as compassionate. I look forward to hearing from you and seeing how we can help you on your road to healing.
