Bethany A. Marshall, Ph.D, Psy.D., L.M.F.T.
Marriage and Family Therapist
 
With 19 years of experience, therapist Dr. Marshall brings an insight to radio and television with her hip “The Usual Questions ... Unusual Answers” motto that is remarkably refreshing.

She is also called upon to quickly analyze breaking news items whether they be as serious as forensic crime and profiles of the criminal mind, or an analysis of notable individuals featured in breaking news or pop culture such as the breakup of Hollywood relationships. You may have seen her on Good Morning America, the CBS Early Show, CNN’s Nancy Grace, or heard her as Leeza Gibbon’s daily relationship psychologist on Leeza’s coast to coast radio show, “Hollywood Confidential” and in Los Angeles, “Leeza Live”. Bethany’s entertaining specialty is her confrontation of edgy problems with real world solutions.

Dr. Marshall points out that well meaning (but not always sought after) advice from family, friends, clergy and others is often not enough to effect a meaningful and lasting change. With laser like precision, Dr. Marshall is able to confront individuals and couples, helping them understand their psychological dynamics and offering a resolution that is startling in its practicality.

When dealing with relationship problems Dr. Marshall’s comments are rife with pithy one-liners, juicy insights and incisive judge like confrontations. Like a mystery detective searching for hidden clues, Dr. Marshall reveals surprising reasons for relationship failures. Each analysis is hard-hitting, painfully accurate, immediate, thought provoking and hopeful in its resolution.

Bethany’s goal is to make the subconscious conscious. Her gift is making hidden motivations easy to understand. After 19 years of working with every manner of problem in her practice she believes that there is always a way to deal with the problems of life and that “For Every Problem There Is A Solution”.

There is no question or relationship problem that is too shocking or complex for Dr. Marshall. Her confrontational formula “Nothing But The Truth” works and keeps viewers asking, “Oh my God, what is she going to say about that?”




Bethany was born in Zaire, Africa. The daughter of missionary parents, Bethany grew up in an environment that fostered humanitarian concern. Her family returned to the United States when she was a teenager. After obtaining a Bachelor of Fine Arts with a minor in opera, Bethany moved to California and graduated with a Masters of Divinity and a Masters in Marriage, Family and Child Counseling. A multiple degree holder, she has a Doctorate of Psychoanalysis and a Doctor of Philosophy in Psychoanalysis.

Bethany has been in private practice as a Marriage, Family and Child Therapist in both Beverly Hills and Pasadena for the past nineteen years. She makes frequent appearances as a contributing psychological commentator on “Good Morning America”, “The CBS Early Show”, “Tyra Banks” and is a weekly contributor to “The Nancy Grace Show” on CNN Headline News. She is also the call in relationship psychologist for Leeza Gibbon’s radio shows, “Hollywood Confidential” (distributed in 137 markets) and in Los Angeles, “Leeza Live”.
