I am a dually licensed clinician who has over 16 years experience in clinical social work. My background includes over 20 years in the child welfare system dealing with abuse, neglect, trauma and individual/family issues.

As a professional clinician, I strive to provide a safe, non-judgmental, and positive environment that places you at the center of your care. I welcome you and look forward to forming a consistent, open partnership with you.

These are just some of the reasons clients, from children to adults, come to counseling with me in English and Spanish. 

So how can I help? As a clinical mental health counselor, I will offer you a safe space and listen without judgment. I believe that you and your story matter. I counsel from a holistic, mind-body-heart perspective that is realistic and grounded. I will help you explore strategies and coping skills that are useful and practical for you in your life.

Betsy Servis is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) who has worked with community mental health for 25 years in various capacities. The year before Betsy went into behavioral health, she was working exclusively with dementia clients both young and old. She has many years of experience counseling children, adults, and couples of multiple nationalities. Betsy treats specific issues such as addictive behavior, substance abuse in case management captivity, dementia including Alzheimer’s, aging and depression, bipolar disorder, childhood issues such as attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disorders and disabilities, conduct disorder, autism (high functioning), adjustment disorders, early and late trauma, crisis counseling, family counseling, grief, stress, and anxiety. 

Betsy completed her Master of Science (MS) in Mental Health Counseling after completing an internship with Old Vineyard Behavioral Health and various group homes to help transfer clients. She uses biofeedback methods (deep breathing and heart math) to calm and help clients ease into a calmer lifestyle. Betsy has used cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for children and adults with addictive behaviors. She presently has a certificate in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TFCBT) which is designed for victims of childhood sexual and physical abuse, and for older victims of domestic violence or sexual abuse. Betsy works with most populations with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with this skill set. In addition, she has taught groups in an open, non-direct manner for subjects mentioned above. Betsy's approach is holistic, where understanding is primary and embracing change is the solution.

You as a client know yourself, and Betsy as a counselor wants to give you as much care as she can for the time that you spend with her. She is here to help you through the time you need to collaborate and discuss open issues and she is open to hear and discuss your input. In the closing of therapy, however long it is, you and Betsy gently allow you to slowly stop therapy to help you take back over control of your life. Together you can develop a plan of action that will give you the tools and skills for a greater outcome to your life, through a nonjudgmental place that Betsy wants to be yours.
