Bethanie Orlaski, MSW Intern

I work with children, teens, young adults, and couples.

MY FOCUS

God has given me a heart to serve those who feel forgotten, rejected, and broken. I have worked with preteens and adolescents who have experienced various traumas, leading them to ask, “Why did this happen?” “Is it my fault?” “Will life ever feel normal again?” No matter what you have experienced or are experiencing, hope and healing are possible. It is my desire that every person I come in contact would come to know that they are worthy of God’s love, are valued, and have a purpose.

I am passionate about working with children, preteens, and adolescents who are experiencing life transitions, navigating family and peer relationships, and facing other normal developmental challenges. I am dedicated to instilling confidence and hope in my clients by providing a space where they can process, reflect, and be challenged in pursuing God’s unique calling for their lives. My goal is for my clients to have a deepened understanding of their value, grow in their self-esteem, understand communication patterns, pursue conflict resolution, and utilize healthy coping skills. I look forward to meeting with you soon.
