Where Belonging Isn't Conditional
Our Story -Where Two
or More Are Gathered
Walk Alongside was born from a mother-daughter dream... to work side by side, complementing each other's strengths, wisdom, and modalities.
Christine brings a clinical, logical lens grounded in traditional therapeutic practice.
While Bethany's approach to healing through somatics, intuition, and the wisdom held within the body.
Where grit meets grace—together, we bridge the gap between clinical therapy and somatic healing, allowing us to meet a wider range of people exactly where they are.
We believe deeply in healing in community, not isolation.
There is something sacred that happens when we gather and share our stories in safe spaces. Storytelling creates resonance and empathy, it strips away the shame that thrives in secrecy, allowing us to step into more authentic relationships and live with greater wholeness.
This is the heart of Walk Alongside: two women, two approaches, one shared belief, that you don't have to walk alone.
How It All Began

Walk Alongside Counseling began as a shared dream between Christine and Bethany Racic, a mother and daughter who both felt called to help others find belonging through therapy and community.
Their personal and professional paths intertwined through a shared belief: that empathy, presence, and genuine care can make healing possible. Whether in the sacred space of one-on-one counseling or through healing in community, they move with intentionality to support and 'love on' each client, meeting them exactly where they are.
What started as a family practice has grown into a passionate team united by the same purpose: to walk alongside you through your journey of life.
"We don’t lead from ahead or push from behind, we meet you where you are."
