Support for Every Season of Life
Compassionate therapy for women and mothers.
You are allowed to be both grateful and struggle, therapy gives you space for both
Welcome to Wellness Within Counseling. Where I believe that you are your own source of strength, healing and recovery. I don't fix anyone. I will empower you to make positive changes in your own life. I believe in finding balance in your mental, physical and spiritual wellbeing.
My name is Elizabeth Purto Bahner and I'm the therapist of Wellness Within Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor. As a mother myself I understand the change and struggles motherhood brings personally and professionally.
I have over 12 years of mental health field experience including working with individuals, families, children, young adults and specialized populations like the Assyrian community, the LGBTQ community and postpartum and new mothers.
Many women and mothers carry quiet guilt and don't ask for help. Gratitude and hardship often coexist, therapy makes space to process both. If you have thought of making a change in your life, or simply talking to someone, reach out or schedule an initial appointment.
“Let go of who you think you're supposed to be; embrace who you are”
