Bethany Elton

Therapist

Virtual • California


Most of my clients are adults carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, or relationship and attachment struggles they've never had space to fully talk through, they have learned to just push through, and spent years holding everything together.

I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 5 years of experience, the last 3 focused primarily on adults navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, and attachment wounds. My sessions are soft but straightforward and comfortable. There's no pressure, just consistent openness to talk and process at your pace.

Catherine Moore

Catherine Moore

Therapist

Virtual • California


You can look like you have it all together — and still feel like you're falling apart inside. I know, because I’ve been there.

I help women who are ages 20-50 navigate life changes, improve healthy coping, gain clarity, and feel emotionally lighter. My clients report feeling "lighter" after sessions, more clarity on their next steps, less irritability with others, and improved relationships.

I’m Catherine Moore, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, international speaker, author, podcaster, and therapist. For over 15 years, I’ve supported women through anxiety, burnout, grief, trauma, and the high-stakes demands of everyday life.

I hold both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Social Work from California State University, Long Beach, and have worked in everything from fast-paced hospitals to deeply personal private practice.

But beyond the credentials, I’m also a burnout survivor.

I know the relentless pressure of being everything for everyone — mother, daughter, friend, professional. I’ve lost close family members. I’ve walked through trauma. And I know what it’s like to smile on the outside while feeling lost on the inside. It’s what drives my work and what makes this space safe, grounded, and judgment-free.

If you’re ready to stop drowning in life and start living with clarity, peace, and purpose — I’m here. You don’t have to carry it all alone anymore. Schedule a no-obligation consultation with me to see if we are a good fit for your goals.
