With more thirty years of practicing psychotherapy, I hold a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from Antioch New England Graduate School and a Bachelors Degree in Transpersonal Psychology from Burlington College. My expertise includes the treatment of anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, codependency and recovery from narcissistic and abusive relationships. My style is compassionate, authentic, and warm.
I am trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Somatic Experiencing. I use these innovative modalities to help people get to the root of their problems and therapeutically shift their beliefs and narratives about their life. These therapies are useful in helping clients reduce physical and emotional stress release old burdens, guilt and shame and improve confidence and connection with oneself.

Betsy is amazing. She immediately created a safe space for me, and made me feel more than comfortable in every conversation we had. She’s kind and warm, but also honest. She doesn’t tell you what you want to hear, she tells you what you NEED to hear. She’s the best listener, and always welcomes any and every emotion without judgement. I am beyond thankful for Betsy! She’s helped me more than she’ll ever know.

It has been a pleasure working with Betsy. Her way of helping me visualize, explain, and role play has been a major positive hurdle in my healing process. Her kind, respectful and positive manner is a big plus too. Thanks Betsy!
