Bethany Delgado is an Associate Marriage and Family Therapist who specializes in creating a safe haven for individuals healing from complex relational trauma, abuse, and trauma-related disorders. With particular expertise in addressing the deep wounds of PTSD, she approaches therapy with both clinical excellence and rare courage—unafraid to accompany clients into their darkest places while steadfastly holding hope for their healing. For clients who desire it, Bethany offers faith-integrated therapy that incorporates Christian principles into the healing journey, addressing both psychological and spiritual dimensions of recovery.

Her therapeutic approach integrates multiple evidence-based modalities including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and somatic processing techniques. This comprehensive toolkit is grounded in trauma-informed care and psychodynamic understanding, allowing her to address both the visible symptoms of trauma and its deeper roots in the nervous system and relational patterns. Bethany's work helps clients reconnect with their authentic selves beyond the adaptations they developed to survive, fostering wholeness and renewed purpose.

With a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, a Master's in Clinical Psychology, and specialized training in trauma-informed care, Bethany brings both academic knowledge and heartfelt understanding to her therapeutic practice. Her approach is informed not only by her professional training but also by personal insight into trauma's impact on body, mind, and relationships—creating a depth of empathy that clients find particularly validating. As an Associate MFT working under the supervision of Alissa Melendez, Psy.D., she benefits from regular professional consultation that enhances her therapeutic effectiveness.

Outside the therapy room, Bethany nurtures her creativity and adventurous spirit through reading, writing, drawing, and rock climbing. These diverse interests reflect her belief in the importance of both thoughtful reflection and bold action—complementary elements that inform her balanced approach to healing work. Her artistic pursuits mirror the creative aspects of therapy, where new narratives and possibilities emerge, while rock climbing embodies the courage and persistence needed to overcome life's challenges.
