Owning our story and

LOVING OURSELVES

through that process is

the BRAVEST THING

that we will ever do

About Becky: 

Becky Bethards

Based in Denver, Colorado, I work with individual adults. 

My approach combines curious exploration, developing awareness, and trusting communication.  

I trained with Dr. Bruce Perry of the ChildTrauma Academy, and I have been practicing therapy since 2003. My practice utilizes a neurodevelopmental perspective: early experiences (both big and small) shape the way we develop; building awareness of the way our brain is wired allows us to make changes and better understand ourselves.  Our experiences are stored as memories in both our brain and our body.  Therapeutic work must be able to access these in order to facilitate healing.

I can assist the adult in you to understand the child in you, so that you can heal the pain that is often at the root.  By better understanding what is going on inside, finding kindness within oneself becomes possible.

I love Colorado and the west, and have lived in Denver since 2001.  I grew up in Montana.  I am passionate about human connection, deep listening, blue skies, and deepening awareness.  


To me, Kindness Within reminds us that regardless of our life circumstances, being heard and understood makes us feel better. Finding kindness within oneself builds compassion, fun, and balance. It gives us hope.

 


 

Owning our story can be hard but not nearly as difficult as spending our lives running from it. Embracing our vulnerabilities is risky but not nearly as dangerous as giving up on love and belonging and joy—the experiences that make us the most vulnerable. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light.
