I’m Dr. Beverly Pedroche, a psychologist committed to helping college-aged women who feel overwhelmed by the stress of school and the responsibilities of being a young adult. Many of my patients state that they are not coping well with everything they have going on and want to learn coping skills now, while they are still young. These women often look like they have it all together on the outside but actually struggle with low self-confidence, codependency, patterns of poor decision making, lac...

I'm a zen practicing therapist+musician who loves working with people on their journeys to healthier relationships and becoming their most authentic selves. I was raised fundamentalist and spent my childhood learning fire and brimstone theology and memorizing verses from the King James Bible. Needless to say I chose to leave the "sinners in the hands of an angry God" mentality behind when I grew up. The truth is, being hard on ourselves doesn't help us or anyone else. But compassion, love, accep...

Hi! I'm Bethaney. The truth is, I've been where you are. For real! But I am a much better version of myself now. I remember having to read this silly book during my college senior year internship course called Quarterlife Crisis: The Unique Challenges of Life in Your Twenties. All I could think about when I read it was: what the hell does this have to do with me?! I was 22, about to graduate college, and had it ALL figured out… Until I didn’t. Fast-forward two years, a move from ...
