Hi! I'm Neli Betancourt-Rodriguez. I'm a Christian bilingual (Spanish/English) licensed trauma therapist in New York and Florida. Whatever brought you here, I'm so glad you're here. Your story deserves to be heard, uncovered, and transformed into purpose. Your life matters. My hope is to walk alongside you in the aftermath of what can feel like the weight of the world. Sometimes, that aftermath looks like learning to trust again after abuse, or to feel joy after years of depression and sadness, or to unlearn patterns that no longer serve you. It may be hard to believe freedom is accessible. But here, I know it's possible. . .
Sometimes we don't realize why we think the way we do or why we feel what we do or even why we behave in certain ways. My hope is to bring light and understanding to those dark areas in life after trauma. I want to help you access your God-given power to grow, to transform, and most of all, to heal.
I know how difficult emotional healing can be but by empowering you to recognize your God-given identity and potential to heal, I help you to deconstruct your story and build it new again with meaning and purpose. Contact me today to explore what would be best for you.
