I have over 14 years of combined therapy experience at the professional level and believe in the profession that I am licensed in which is social work. I believe in a client-centered perspective and derive my approaches from a variety of treatment modalities. Cognitive behavioral is a significant framework that I utilize but I believe that other approaches are also effective as sessions need to be tailored to the unique needs of the individual or clientele being served. I believe in true empathy, truly trying to understand my clients' perspectives and their insight into their lives. Each person I have counseled over the years and will be counseling have inherent worth, dignity and I believe in their abilities to improve in areas of self-direction and self-efficacy. Therapy is all about the client who is reading this right now, the therapist is simply a conduit to improve a person's ability to reorganize their life, to improve their internal locus of control, to help a client engage in goal-oriented behavior and be conscientious of the choices one is making in life on a regular basis. Cognitive behavioral methods consider irrational thought paradigms and help to counteract these cognitions or thoughts with more rational, counterbalancing, self-esteem enhancing thoughts and help a person to see the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

I appreciate my therapist, Betina. Not only is she an engaged and compassionate listener but she offers helpful suggestions for my issues by directing me to scriptures that I find interesting and meaningful. I feel as if she cares about my struggles and is not merely going through the motions to show up as my therapist. Knowing that someone cares is perhaps the greatest help of all.

Although I only had a few months of counselling sessions with Betina, she was always helpful throughout each session and provided me with techniques to feel calm and relieve stress/anxiety. I also enjoyed the small stories that she would discuss and bring some meaning and lessons during the sessions. I hope to start up counselling with Betina again later on! She has been a wonderful therapist throughout the whole journey :)

Betina is a great counselor. She has been very helpful this entire year, I started seeing her because I was very stressed with work and burnt out. I felt anxious and confused and needed to talk to someone to get through it and she was that person for me. Betina has been a guiding post for me, helping me to better understand myself and recognize the unhealthy and self-sabotaging thoughts and behaviors to replace them with healthier ways of coping with difficult things in my life. She’s helped me change my perception of myself to a more positive one. I highly recommend Betina!

I can hardly find the words to describe how amazing Betina has been for me, but I’m am going to try to my best here. Betina has truly been a voice of peace in a time that my life has been full of turbulence. Not only is she an amazing therapist, but also an amazing person. With every conversation we’ve had I can feel the passion she has to truly help each and every client. Through her words I have overcome many things, and will continue to do so. To say I am thankful for Betina, and her wealth of knowledge, would be an understatement. Thank you Betina for being here when I needed you most! I look forward to your future, and all the amazing things you will achieve!
All of that said, I can’t recommend Betina highly enough, and I am thankful you have found her as well!

Betina is very kind and intelligent. She always tries to understand what I am trying to say and I really appreciate that she even does research outside of BetterHelp to show me why I do certain things. I would strongly recommend her to others especially those with a sense of humor and are maybe a little shy.
