She is excellent. She is knowledgable and supportive and also challenges you to do what you know in your heart you need to do to grow and heal. She's helped me gain the confidence to do the scariest things in my life. I am grateful for her professionalism and expertise.

Betsy has been an absolutely amazing resource through an extremely tough time. She worked with me to get me back to myself when I couldn’t even recognize who I really was. She was always a guiding voice for me in between sessions. I can’t begin to thank her enough for all her help.
