“Anti-oppression and trauma informed care are core pieces of my counseling philosophy”.

Meet Our Intern

Beth Marshall, BA, Professional Counseling Intern

I approach therapy as a healing relationship that empowers you to close wounds, embrace identity, find meaning, and grow in your relationships and wellbeing. Therapy is a space for you to feel heard, seen, and be treated with compassion. I aim to work alongside you, and I trust that you are the expert on your life and experiences. My role is to help you find what you need to thrive, not just survive.

Anti-oppression and trauma informed care are core pieces of my counseling philosophy. Emotional wounds can come from personal experiences, significant losses, and relationships, but can also come from systemic oppression, historical trauma, and cultural messages. When we encounter something that has had a painful and overwhelming impact on you (trauma), it will be handled with care and respect, using research based methods that can help you heal. We can work together to build stability and hope, and foster acceptance for those things beyond our control.

I am a master's degree student in EMU's Clinical Mental Health program. I am a National Board of Certified Counselors Minority Fellowship Program Scholar, with a specialized focus in marginalized gender and sexual identities.
