Betsy is an experienced and compassionate Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Registered Dance/Movement Therapist who is passionate about helping individuals reconnect with themselves through movement, body awareness, and meaningful therapeutic connection. She earned her Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Lesley University, with training in dance/movement therapy. With a background as a movement instructor, professor, and therapist, Betsy brings a creative and integrative perspective to her clinical work.

Betsy creates a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and grounded. Her approach is humanistic and relational, emphasizing trust, collaboration, and meeting each client where they are. She believes that greater awareness of the mind-body connection can support healing and that movement can provide another meaningful way to explore emotions, experiences, and personal growth.

Betsy works with teens, young adults, adults, and couples navigating anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, trauma, and life transitions. She is passionate about helping clients strengthen their connection with themselves, develop greater self-awareness, and feel more present and grounded in their daily lives.

In her clinical work, Betsy draws from mindfulness, movement-based therapy, and somatic and EMDR-informed approaches to support clients in processing emotions and experiences. Her movement-based framework offers opportunities for clients to explore and express themselves beyond words while developing greater clarity and emotional awareness. She tailors her approach to each client’s needs, incorporating creative and evidence-informed strategies to support growth and resilience.

Betsy believes therapy can be an opportunity to develop a deeper sense of self-trust, clarity, and connection. Her goal is to help clients feel more at ease in their minds and bodies while building the awareness and tools needed to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence.

Outside of the therapy room, Betsy enjoys spending time with her adult children, family, and friends, especially in natural settings. She also continues to dance and choreograph in the studio, where she nurtures her lifelong passion for movement and creative expression.
