"When I started visiting Betz, I was confident that I was intelligent, kind, gifted, and destined to be unhappy and a disappointment to myself and others. Together, Betz and I have discovered many of the obstacles I was tripping on while searching for the path to Happiness. Now that I see the mess on the floor, I can choose whether to slip on a marble or to walk safely to the other side. Through recommended reading and an environment of trust and Psychological Self Love, I now have hope and direction in each day."

With great appreaciation for my freedom,

She sees the potential in each and every client she works with, and treats this often-discarded population with respect and dignity. To this day her clients speak respectfully and fondly of her. She is a natural teacher and able to meet clients where they are at using their language and symbol systemes to promote insight and self awareness."

"When I first met Betz, I had seen various therapists over a ten year period. In all of that time, I never broke through the wall of true understanding. Betz provided the tools I needed to change my life. I've often said she saved my life. It sounds dramatic but it's true--she is brilliant."

"When I first met Betz, I was a stressed out person who had lost himself in the world. I was trying to control myself and everything else, hoping that it would all get better. That wasn’t working; instead the world was controlling me. Betz helped me see that it was the attempt to control which wasn’t working. She introduced me to this great little kid inside of myself. Betz helped me reconnect with that little kid, and that taught me how to ask for what I want. Since working with Betz I have gotten back to being me. I have let go of the stress, and I have started to express the true me. What joy that has created, and what luck I had in meeting her."

Betz,

I just wanted to thank you for sending my wife home happy, relaxed, and inspired. We listened to Closer to Fine when she got home.

We both think there is something magical about you. We both feel so much better after meeting with you, and you are the first person to get our child to feel comfortable around dogs.

Anyway, we are sending you lots and lots of smiles

See you Wednesday,

Fishing Line Man

Dear Betz,
  ...You were a great find for me.  Your approach and skills are extraordinary!  I can't say enough about how much you helped me with emotional awareness and great tools to improve myself.  I come away from our sessions with the ability to be a much stronger and healthier person.  For that, I am forever grateful!

Sincerely,
Million Dollar Baby
