About Bethany Meals, LMFT , LPCC, CCTP
Our Mission
At Inspired MFT, my mission is to provide high-quality, compassionate care to individuals, couples, and families struggling with mental health concerns. I believe that everyone should have a space that is geared towards their unique needs to process and heal. I specialize in working with trauma whether complex or single incident.
First Responder Spouse
First Responders require a special level of cultural competence in working towards healing. Creating a space that allows this population to process their experiences without judgement is an essential piece of the work that I do. My first responder family knows first hand the sacrifices that the career requires. Thank you for your service.
Faith Based Integration
When requested by the client, I utilize faith integration into the therapeutic process. Although not all spirituality equates to religion, accessing a personal relationship with their higher power can help clients in self acceptance and healing.
Military Brat
As a life long military brat, I have a unique perspective on the cultural components of military life. My father served in the US Air Force throughout my entire childhood. Working with Veterans is a passion and an honor that I do not take lightly. Our service men and women sacrifice many aspects of their lives to ensure the freedoms or the American people.
