Betsy A Hallerman
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW
Good therapy focuses on helping people overcome obstacles to living a productive and fulfilling life -- whether in relationships, work, or creative self-expression. As a psychotherapist in practice for 25+ years, my aim is to create an environment where patients can learn about themselves, grow, and, most important, change. My work has been guided by my social work background and psychoanalytic training, and has been deeply influenced by my connection to dance and the arts. I work with people of all ages and backgrounds who struggle with anxiety, depression, personality problems, bereavement, life-threatening illnesses, and family/relationship issues.
Areas of specialty: working with young adults/adults at mid-life/seniors as they face age-appropriate challenges; helping creative artists realize their potential/remove creative blocks; helping patients with cancer and other life-threatening illnesses face the challenges of illness, as well as survival; bereavement therapy for the young widowed.
I believe that therapy is a way of restoring emotional balance. Through active listening, empathy and reflection I try to help you identify what's creating your struggle so that together we can work on removing the obstacles to your fulfillment.
