About Dr. Bethany Bravery

At the heart of everything she does, Dr. Bethany Bravery is a woman deeply devoted to Jesus and the incredible journey He leads her on—through every triumph, challenge, and unexpected turn. That faith is the foundation of her calling as a wife, mother, Christian Pastoral Counselor, and speaker, shaping every aspect of her life and work.

Bethany is joyfully married to her best friend and biggest supporter, Tom, who continually encourages her to chase the BIG dreams God has placed on her heart. Together, they are blessed with four amazing children—Gracie, Tyler, Carter, and Novalee—and make their home in Eugene, Oregon.

As a Christian Pastoral Counselor with the National Christian Counselors Association, Bethany is dedicated to helping women, couples, and families navigate life’s transitions and challenges with faith and purpose. She holds a PhD in Clinical Christian Counseling from Colorado Theological Seminary, graduating with honors. Her expertise spans pre-marital, marriage, family, and crisis counseling, all rooted in a Christ-centered approach that brings clarity, healing, and hope.

Guided by Jeremiah 29:11, Bethany wholeheartedly believes that God has a unique and beautiful purpose for every person. Nothing brings her greater joy than speaking truth and encouragement into the lives of others, helping them step into their God-given identity and purpose. She is passionate about creating a space where people can heal, grow, and walk boldly in the story God is writing for them.

Through a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Logotherapy, and Temperament Therapy, Bethany personalizes her counseling approach, always keeping Christ at the center. She is the founder of Bethany Bravery Counseling and offers both in-person and online sessions.
