About Me
* Women's Counseling*
Hi there! My name is Betsy Petersen and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing women's counseling services. I received my education from the University of Tennessee and have been working in the mental health field since 2014.
I strive to bring an empathetic and motivated approach to women's therapy to explore all areas of life that affect the person and their environment. I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Client-Centered Therapy as a starting point, but also integrate other techniques that match clients’ needs, personality, and comfort level. I specialize in working with women in all stages of life with a focus on stress and anxiety, depression, female-related issues, self-esteem, and life transitions.
I understand that reaching out for help can be difficult. Thank you for allowing me to help, and I look forward to working with you!

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Betsy Petersen. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I’ve only met with Betsy twice but she’s already brought healing and understanding into my life! She is great!
Betsy has been wonderful over the last several months! Very attentive and helpful.
Betsy is kind and understanding. She gives practical advice with action steps. I have enjoyed the activities she has provided me to work through my grief.
In the short time that I have been meeting with Betsy, I have begun to see some major improvements in a variety of areas of my life. Betsy listens extremely and offers practical advice and insights. I like that she asks clarifying questions when needed (this shows that she truly wants to understand my point of view). The worksheets she provides throughout the week have also been a great tool to add to my toolbox.
Betsy quickly became someone I sought out for advice. She just seems to understand me and has taken my counseling to a different level than I had originally signed up for. She has helped improve my life greatly!!
Betsy is such a great counselor, she’s very empathetic and understands my feelings. She is very thorough and offers great options moving forward to deal with my anxiety.
Betsy knows exactly what questions to ask in a kind and helpful manner. I was apprehensive starting therapy, but she has eased my worries and helped me through a trying time.
Betsy P. has been exactly who I needed. She is understanding and provides helpful feedback. She provides applicable tools each session that have been extremely helpful for me to learn how to manage my anxiety better.
Betsy is wonderful! I always feel heard, validated, and encouraged after speaking to her! She helps me set realistic goals each time and reminds me to be kind to myself. I recommend her for sure!
Betsy is an awesome therapist! She listened to me and helped me look at situations differently and cope with issues.
Betsy is so thoughtful and caring in our conversations. This is my first counseling experience, and she makes it so easy to open up while also giving great advice and other resources.
Betsy is very thoughtful about her responses and supportive. She and I have been working through a lot of trauma. She has provided great tools to help hammer out somethings with life.
She is very professional and has a perfect balance of making me feel comfortable and able to speak my mind! She has already helped me so much!
I really enjoy having Betsy as my counselor because she is very positive and thoughtful with her responses. I feel safe and comfortable confiding in her.
Betsy is a wonderful counselor. She is a listener, and also always knows what advice to give at the correct time. She is trusting and kind.
She really is a positive force of nature and always has a sympathetic ear.
She is amazing and is helping me in so many ways!!
Betsy was my second counselor in here, and one of the most in depth, kind, and understanding people I have been able to speak to. She has helped guide me towards new healthy coping habits to the point where I finally feel normal again. I definitely recommend her!
Great!! I highly recommend Betsy!
