Consultations

 Need some guidance on your recovery journey? 

Feeling unsure of your next steps?

Let me help you get clarity.

 

Do you wonder if you're focusing on the right work during this season of your healing journey? Do you need support building your personal recovery toolbox?

I'm here to help. 

In a 60-minute consultation, we'll check in on where you are on your recovery journey. I'll help you identify areas that may be causing you to feel stuck, and guide you towards your next best actions. Your investment for the consult is $285.

This isn’t therapy—it's a focused consultation to help you get the insights and direction you need to keep making progress in your recovery. If you aren’t currently in therapy, I’ll do my best to help you find an appropriate referral.

Wherever you are on the path, this is your chance to hit pause, get an objective assessment of where you are, and walk away with next steps that are right for you.

Reach out to me at beth@trueselfjourney.com if you'd like to book a consultation. I look foward to helping you explore the next steps of your journey!

 

About Beth Ratchford 

 I’ve been in the helping profession for 25 years, and I believe that most—if not all—of what we struggle with today is rooted in childhood trauma and family-of-origin experiences. When trauma isn’t dealt with, we create an unconscious process that drives our current thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. Time can’t heal this type of pain. Fully processing the trauma—connecting with the felt experience physically, emotionally, and mentally—is how it moves through us and allows for healing. 

My hope is to provide the support and resources necessary for those seeking true healing.

The therapisty (yes, a made up word) information about me is that I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters in Social Work from Virginia Commonwealth University and a Master of Arts in Counseling from Western Seminary. I specialize in working with adults who have experienced childhood trauma.  I’ve trained with Pia Mellody in the Post Induction Therapy model of developmental trauma and I use it as the primary framework in my clinical work. I also am trained in the Attachment-Focused EMDR. And last, but definitely not least, I am an EAGALA (Equine Assisted Growth and Learning Association) certified mental health specialist and provide Equine-Assisted Learnding and Psychotherapy experiences.  

Some non-therapisty info about me: I have a rescue pup named Maisie that is hilarious and a great adventure buddy. Being out in the woods is one of my places of sanity. Another is being with horses whether it’s hanging out, riding or scooping poop. I love reading novels. Henri Nouwen is my desert island author. I am obsessed with South Carolina Gamecocks Women's Basketball. And I’ve been on my own True Self Journey for decades so I'm traveling right along with you.
