Bekah Jarman, M.A., LPC

Assistant Director for Crisis Services

What do I do at Counseling & Psychological Services?

Hi. My name is Bekah, and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor at CAPS. I am passionate about working with students who have experienced traumatic situations, struggle with depression and/or suicidal thoughts, and those who desire growth in their personal identity and spiritual life. I also enjoy working with veterans and law enforcement officers (past or current) and family members of those populations. I am trained in EMDR, which can be used to address trauma-related concerns. I co-lead Insight Through Art, which is an art therapy group that is open to all students where we use painting, drawing, and clay to express emotions.

What is it like to work with me?

I genuinely love hearing students’ stories and working with them to discover who they truly are. My desire is to provide a safe space for students to process, heal, and grow without experiencing guilt or shame. For students who are open to it, I enjoy incorporating spiritual practices into our sessions, such as listening prayer, inner-healing prayer, and silence. I hope that counseling can be a breath of fresh air in the midst of a fast-paced environment—a balance of depth and light.

What do I do outside of Counseling & Psychological Services?

Outside of CAPS, I love spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoy visiting coffee shops and restaurants, listening to podcasts, reading, taking drives, attending concerts and plays, exploring different towns, making bonfires, and engaging in a plethora of creative hobbies.
