"A year ago when we first met, I couldn't control the tears nor the heartbreak. You have taught me to learn from the past and to embrace what may come."-Client-

A note from Betsy:
When you're really struggling, you need more than a good listener. You need someone who can sort through the details fast, and get you moving in a healthier direction as quickly as possible.

You can expect me to:
-- Ask direct questions

-- Notice what others miss

-- Tell you what I really think

-- Care about your well-being

-- 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

Once we identify the patterns of behavior and habits of mind that are causing you problems, we'll come up with a plan for how to change them. Each time we meet, we'll talk about what's working and what isn't, and I'll give you concrete tools you can take home and practice with between sessions, so you're always making progress--even when I'm not around.

Office hours and setting: Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, from 9:30am to 5:30pm, and Saturdays and Sundays, from 9:30am to 12:30pm I answer my own phones. I don't work evenings. You can see my home office in the banner above.

Email and Phone Sessions: I offer email and phone sessions to current clients only. This option is great for people who travel a lot or hate driving as much as I do. I can usually return calls within a couple of hours.
