Bethany obtained a bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work from Southern Illinois University in Edwardsville. She worked in community mental health after college. In this setting, Bethany helped clients with severe mental health problems in a housing unit. Bethany provided counseling and helped them with life skills. Bethany then worked for a hospital for 5 years. Here she helped people with complex medical issues navigate their medical accommodations outside the hospital as well as make end of life decisions. Bethany worked closely with insurances as well as community medical agencies. This experience provided a great groundwork for Bethany to start this practice. The practice started in nursing homes and assisted living facilities. Through COVID, things evolved as laws around telehealth were relaxed. The practice moved into a telehealth model in addition to nursing facilities social work. Bethany has enjoyed working with several age groups with a multitude of problems to work through.
