A note from Betsy:
When you're feeling shaky, finding the right therapist--the first time around--is critical. So let me describe how I might work with you. First we'll talk about what you really want and figure out what's keeping you from getting it. Then we'll come up with a concrete plan to help you achieve your goals as quickly as possible. Between sessions, you'll be practicing whatever skills you've been working on, so you're always making progress--even when I'm not around. Each time we meet, we'll figure out what's working, what's not, and what's next. My job is to make each session challenging and relevant, and give you tools to help you be your brightest self--inside and outside the therapy setting.
You can expect me to:
Ask direct questions
Notice what others miss
Tell you what I really think
Care about what happens to you
Insist you do your homework
Make each step as easy as possible
Don't expect me to:
Sit and nod
Agree with you all the time
Avoid difficult topics
Work harder than you do
Perform miracles very often
Clients' feedback:
"We got more out of our first session with Betsy than in 3 years of marriage counseling with another counselor."
"I appreciate how real you are, and how you're able to capture the essence of an issue, instead of getting lost in the symptoms or outer layers."
"Just a quick update...things are FABULOUS!! It's like I'm living with a totally different person...the person I always knew was in there! He's back! Truly amazing...I am grateful to you for that every day!!
"After our first session, my husband said 'This is the most hopeful I've felt in ages.' "
"Being with Betsy is always like getting a great mental flossing. I always leave sessions with more to think about."
"You are not just helping us, but are giving our girls the gift of a peaceful, happy home hey can feel loved in. Thank you for that! "
"We worked hard, but you gave us the tools. Without them, we could have worked just as hard and gotten nowhere--except maybe divorced."
"Thank you for your intense curiosity, intelligence, humor, and compassion"
"Betsy didn't turn away, judge, or silence me when things got uncomfortable or difficult."
"Betsy pulled the truth from an ocean of craziness."
"Our kids love the OuchKit. They come in quite handy here, as we 'Ouch' each other on a regular basis.:) "
