Betsy Houser's bio
This content was provided by Betsy Houser "Practicing since 1998 and licensed since 2003 (in Connecticut, Vermont and now Alabama), my approach is primarily Jungian Influenced and developmental. Areas of specialty the following: Grief, Loss, Trauma, Anxiety, Depression & Perinatal Issues. Prior intensive clinical work with children (8 years at Yale Child Study Center) adds additional insight into my work with adults as well."
Care Philosophy
This content was provided by Betsy Houser "For many people, at some point in their lives, the stress of everyday life can be challenging. Trying to balance work, relationships, major life decisions or other obligations can be overwhelming. This might be related to a business decision, a relationship issue, a loss or life transition, or difficult experience you're struggling to metabolize. My practice offers the space to explore your ideas, thoughts and feelings in a confidential setting focused on depth psychology. I compare aspects of counseling to physical exercise. When you exercise, you might notice muscles you never knew you had. Some days feel better/worse than others. Over time you realize you're gaining strength and endurance. It can be possible to tolerate certain stressors & enjoy a more meaningful life."

I think of therapy as a gift you give yourself and in my experience Betsy Houser is a caring, intelligent, trustworthy, well-educated therapist. She's done quite a bit in a short period of time to help find perspective and confidence. I highly recommend her to folks whenever I can.

She was not a very warm person I didn't feel she listened to my needs she seemed more concerned to be exact on getting out of there on time and making your next appointment there seems to be a lack of empathy
