Virtual Therapy & Clinical Supervision - NC*VA*WI

Every Change Begins with One Small Step

Relationships are rarely simple — they stretch us, challenge us, and sometimes break us. But even in the hardest moments, the story isn’t over. Whether you’re rebuilding after a high-conflict divorce, healing wounds that past trauma left behind, navigating a mental health diagnosis that affects the people you love, or simply trying to connect more deeply — there is always a next chapter. You don’t have to write it alone.

ABOUT BETH

Trauma-informed care rooted in real understanding.

 

I’m Beth McErlean, a licensed clinical social worker and founder of The Butterfly Effect Supervision and Training, PLLC. Everything I do centers on one goal: helping people build and maintain healthy, fulfilling relationships — even when those relationships have been challenged by divorce, trauma, mental health, or the unique pressures of high-stakes careers.

I provide trauma-informed therapy that gets to the root of what makes relationships hard — because the patterns that hold us back rarely start with us. They start with what happened

“Whatever brought you here today, you’re in the right place." — Beth McErlean
