About me
Aphrodite Beidler is a licensed mental health counselor and founder of Riverwalk Counseling in Richland, Washington. For nearly 30 years she has been helping adults navigate life's challenges, strengthen relationships, overcome obstacles, and thrive. She specializes in depression and anxiety disorders, ADHD, relationships, and recovery from trauma. Born and raised in Greece and having made the United States her home since her twenties, Aphrodite brings some of her old-world perspective to her work, integrating the wisdom of Stoic philosophy and Socratic questioning with modern psychodynamic, cognitive, and neuroscience-informed approaches. Throughout her career, she has worked with people from all walks of life, helping them manage stress, deepen relationships, and reconnect with their sense of purpose and meaning. She is practical, translating complex concepts into actionable tools that participants can immediately apply in their personal and professional lives.
