Connect with Beth: https://catholicpsych.com/beth-carrellBeth Carrell is a Catholic convert of 18 years, wife of 26 years, and a mother to 12 children.

Through it all, she has come to know the depths of both suffering and redemption.Beth has spent years cultivating resilience and adaptability, drawing from a diverse background, but her deepest transformation came after the tragic loss of her son to suicide two years ago. In that grief, she discerned a new mission to become a mentor through the CatholicPsych Model of Applied Personalism, where she has been trained in an integration of psychology, spirituality and philosophy.Now, as a CatholicPsych Certified Mentor and Lay Dominican, Beth is dedicated to supporting the Church, blended families, individuals navigating loss, reconciliation, and the complexities of family life.
