My name is Beth Duffy, and I am an MFT Trainee offering individual, couple, and family therapy sessions. As I work toward licensure, I am supervised by Nichole Hydaryacil, LMFT #108460, a licensed therapist and Assistant Clinical Director at the Daybreak Child, Couple, and Family Therapy Clinic.

​My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and a belief that each person carries inner strengths and wisdom, even when parts of themselves feel overwhelmed or stuck. Having experienced the transformative power of therapy firsthand, I bring compassion, curiosity, and openness into the room. With a background in nonprofit work centered on community building and mentorship, I am deeply motivated by connection and by helping people feel affirmed and supported within themselves and in their relationships. As a therapist-in-training and lifelong learner, I aim to meet clients where they are and offer an inclusive and supportive space that encourages healing, insight, and growth.

As an MFT trainee, I do not yet have a specialty, but I am interested in working with individuals and couples around the following concerns:

• Depression
• Anxiety (including general anxiety, social anxiety, and performance-related anxiety)
• Perfectionism and a strong inner critic
• Stress and overwhelm
• Couples and intimate relationship dynamics
• Perimenopause and menopause-related transitions
• Identity exploration
• Self-esteem and self-worth
• Family-of-origin patterns
• Attachment wounds and relational trauma
• Complex trauma
• Grief and loss
• Work-related stress and burnout
• Midlife transitions
• Drug and alcohol use
• Mindfulness​ and mind-body awareness
• individuals seeking deeper self-understanding, even without a specific diagnosis or label

​As an MFT trainee, I am a volunteer and do not charge for my services. However, after fifteen free sessions, Daybreak may require a $10 fee for each subsequent session. ​Sessions with me are over Zoom for clients residing anywhere in California or in-person in Anaheim, California. You must be a California resident to receive services. ​
