Since 2017, we have been dedicated to serving and supporting women of color across the state, addressing the profound impact of trauma on their lives.
We understand that trauma of various kinds can have far-reaching effects, and we are here to provide a safe, compassionate, and empowering space for your healing journey. We are committed to addressing the unique challenges and experiences faced by women of color, recognizing the intersections of race, gender, and culture in the healing process.
At our practice, we believe in the power of personalized care. We take the time to listen, understand, and honor your individual experiences and needs. We utilize evidence-based therapeutic approaches tailored to your specific circumstances, providing you with the tools and support necessary to navigate and overcome the impact of trauma.
Our goal is simple: to create a healing environment where you can find solace, empowerment, and resilience. We want to strive to foster a sense of community and belonging within our practice.
Hey hey! My name is Mautez Bethel, LCPC (she/her) and I am the Owner and Lead Therapist with Therapeutic Freedom. I am currently a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in the State of Maryland, LC8127 as well as a Board Approved Supervisor in MD. Within my clinical experience, I have serviced children, adolescents and adults in both clinic and community-based settings. While I have worked with client’s with various mental health concerns, I specialize in trauma and life transitions impacting Women of Color.
In my everyday life outside of Therapeutic Freedom, I am a loving and humorous mom, wife, sister, daughter and friend. My goal is to have therapy feel as relatable as it can be. I am a firm believer that while each experience may differ, the empathy of the emotions felt can cross through all experiences.
My therapeutic approach is rooted in Choice Theory, meaning that I believe that our power is rooted in the choices we make. With trauma, we have so much power in our healing and how we choose to navigate it. We can be the creators of our own journey and we can choose how we want to move through it, no one else can. As a Black woman therapist, my goal is to encourage and fuel that power to overcome trauma one day at a time.
I completed my graduate studies at Marymount University, in Arlington, VA, obtaining a Master of Art in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and my undergraduate studies at The Pennsylvania State University, in University Park, PA, obtaining my Bachelor of Art in Political Science with two minors in Women Studies and African American Studies.
I have serviced adults, children and their families in both clinic and community-based settings.
Other mental health concerns I have experience with include, but are not limited to:
Member of the American Counseling Association, American Psychological Association and Maryland Counseling Association. Additionally, I am a proud and active member of Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority, Incorporated.
