Here are some comments from individuals I have worked with:
“I struggled with a debilitating phobia for years. It kept me from enjoying the outdoors and held me in a state of near perpetual fear. Using EMDR and Brainspotting with Betsy, I have regained control of my life and conquered my fears.” -anonymous
“As a veteran with PTSD, I began experiencing a re-emergence of the trauma I had endured many years ago. Utilizing Brainspotting and EMDR therapy, I was finally able to work past these issues, release my trauma, learn to relax again, and sleep better. My aches and pains were also relieved after just a handful of sessions with Betsy.”-anonymous
“I have a lot to thank her for, she did such a tremendous job with me. She helped me become the woman I always wanted to be. I really appreciate how hard she she works to continue to help women like me!” (young adult female who has completed therapy)
"I like the art therapy concept and that Betsy gets down and interacts with the kids."
"They came in due to being abused and having issues with that. They are all doing better now. They loved coming to see Betsy and liked the fact that she interacted with them. They loved painting and doing crafts in therapy. I also enjoyed the art therapy and the explanations of what they drew"
- Sarah (mother of three children ages 8yrs to 3 yrs)
