Supporting other Denver Small Business owners is important to me. So I wanted to start highlighting other women who are kicking ass locally.
Many Denver small business owners have come into the studio for a Sit With Me session. In many cases these business owners & I have been following each other on IG for awhile so it’s nice to meet in real life. This was the case with Bethany & I! She was getting ready to speak at an event that I was also apart of, the FemCo event and needed some updated images. She has a calming presence & I am excited to introduce her to you! So without further adieu, Bethany Russell!
Hi! I’m Bethany, a feminist therapist. I have a private practice in Cap Hill where I offer therapy to the ones yearning to use their voice; the ones quickly pulled into the past at the slightest resemblance of a memory; those struggling to stay present in their relationships and career; the ones who identify as the black sheep; the adult children releasing the coattails of their parents’ religion; the ones who find it difficult to stay out of bed during the day; those who are grappling with the feelings of loneliness that often come with moving to a new city or starting a new venture; the ones who fumble setting boundaries with their parents, partners, children, or bosses for fear of rejection; the ones adjusting to life with the newfound title of “single” or “divorced”. I use several modalities to help address these difficulties such as EMDR, IFS, mindfulness and experiential work.
How/why did you start this Denver small business?
I decided when I was 13 that I wanted to be a psychologist with a private practice. I was requesting information to graduate schools all over and looked up to some popular psychologists/therapists/psychiatrists as inspiration. Some individuals in my life also entered therapy around that time that had a positive impact on me. And then when I was in my early 20s and going through a really rough season, a therapist I saw then helped me completely change the direction of my life for the better. My thought has been “if more people received therapy, how much better would our world be?” I hope to play a positive role in helping individuals experience meaningful and lasting change.
(While I haven’t yet pursued my PsyD. I believe my MA suits the work I want to do just fine and with much less student loan debt. :p I’ll do it later if I get bored.)

Most rewarding part of your Denver small business?
It’s incredibly rewarding when I see clients step out of old and damaging beliefs about self into ones that are more adaptive and rooted in truth. When clients do this, they operate from a place of wholeness and self-respect that positively impacts all areas of their lives. It’s an amazing gift to see my clients stopping generational patterns in their tracks.
