Welcome to Out of the Darkness Therapy. We're glad you're here. Bethany Vinton is a Licensed Master Social Worker with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field.  

​

Seeking support can be one of the hardest first steps, and Bethany's goal is to provide a space where clients feel safe, welcomed, and respected from the very beginning.

​

Bethany works with adolescents ages 10+, adults and individuals navigating trauma, addiction, identity exploration, relationship challenges and life transitions, biological parents involved with DCF, adoptees exploring issues related to adoption, identity, belonging, and family relationships, as well as those exiting incarceration or other institutional settings. Out of the Darkness Therapy is an LGBTQIA+ affirming, kink-friendly, and trauma-informed practice where clients are met with compassion, authenticity, and without judgment.

​

Bethany's approach is collaborative and strengths based and grounded in trauma-informed care, drawing from Existential Therapy, CBT, and DBT skills to help clients better understand themselves, build effective coping strategies, and create meaningful change so they can live their lives with authenticity and joy.

​

Whether a client is seeking healing, growth, or a deeper connection to their authentic self, therapy can be a place to begin. If it feels like a good fit, Bethany would welcome the opportunity to connect and discuss next steps.
