I strive to empower my clients to overcome challenges, foster resilience, and live their most authentic lives.

It is often when we feel the most overwhelmed __ when we have "tried everything we know" to feel better, to make changes, to break out of bad habits or unhelpful behavior patterns __ that we find ourselves the most open to growth and change. This is the purpose of psychotherapy. To provide us with the opportunity to open to the process of self-discovery __ to explore our thoughts, our feelings, and our behaviors and to find or regain our essential wholeness and sense of well-being.

My counseling style is to create a safe and nurturing atmosphere where you feel seen and cared about unconditionally.

Most of us are able to go through the motions and present ourselves in a way that is perceived that we have it all together. While on the inside, we could be battling negative self-talk, the overwhelm of day to day life or trauma from the past, and struggling to cope with these big feelings in a healthy way. Maybe we are ready to make a change, but are unsure where to begin.

Trauma leaves us feeling disconnected from ourselves and others. You're someone who deeply desires to feel safe and connected in your relationships and with yourself but still feel yourself feeling out of control of your reactions and emotions struggling to feel like you "need to get it together". You want to show up differently in life and in your relationships but not sure how to get there. You're ready to make a change. You're ready to feel more grounded and safe and have the job and relationships you desire. I want to help you get there with yourself or your relationship. I am bilingual Spanish/English speaking.

Many professional, successful people in all areas of life have had times when they struggle and getting therapy can help. If you are searching for a therapist, you are not alone! I believe everyone should have a therapist. Our mental health is just as important as taking care of our physical health, which is why I chose this field and hope to help break the stigma around mental health especially as a weakness, or just for crazy people. Everyone struggles at some point in their lives, which is why I am passionate about finding the right therapy that works for each individual.

Life can be hard-- really hard. Sometimes, we are just trying to survive and we end up in a place we don’t want to be: depression, anger, anxiety, loneliness, hopelessness. Asking for help is an act of strength and courage. I have a passion for helping others find their way toward who they want to be. I can help you become more proactive, not just reacting to the circumstances of life. Understanding the past. Managing the present. Building for the future. It’s never too late for change! Life can be better if you are willing to do the work. Are you ready to begin?

It takes courage to be willing to get some help. I'd like to honor your courage and be a partner in healing, while you address the issues that make your world less than you imagine it can be. Whether your relationships feel difficult, or you are struggling with specific issues like substance use, mental health, or the wreckage of trauma in your life-- healing is both possible and available. I work in a variety of ways, and try to match the way I work and skills I bring to the PERSON I am working with. Find your peace today.

Hello! My name is Betty Blanc, and I am a licensed marriage and family therapist who believes in helping clients achieve their personal goals to improve their lives and enhance their relationships. Throughout my therapy career, I have been interested in exploring the depths and complexities of couples and became trained in using Gottman Method for couples therapy and Emotionally Focused Therapy for couples in crisis in my therapy work. In using these methods, I am able to guide couples in learning how to rebuild the love, fondness, companionship, and affection that has been lost over the years.

Are you tired of feeling like you're on opposite sides of a chasm from your partner? Do you find yourself yearning for that elusive sense of understanding and closeness? I know how it feels to crave connection but struggle to find it amidst the chaos of everyday life. That's what brings me to the therapist chair – to offer a haven where you can finally experience the deep connection and clarity you've been longing for. Imagine waking up each day feeling truly seen and understood by your partner, knowing that you're both on the same team, supporting each other through life's challenges. This is the reality I want to help you create.

Anxiety, trauma, life transitions, relationship distress. My heart is to help individuals and couples work through experiences that have left them disconnected and stuck in negative cycles of relating to themselves, others, and the world. Whether it is a single event or a long history of challenges, my hope is to provide a helping hand and a sense of safety that empower people to pursue the connection and healing they desire. I am also passionate about assisting first responders as they work through job-related stress and trauma, as well as assisting young adults who feel overwhelmed and uncertain about what steps to take next.

Has life become increasingly overwhelming lately? Have you noticed that the stressors in your life are affecting your mood, relationships, or work? Do you wish you could hit pause just to take a moment to reorient yourself? As someone who has been on both ends of therapy, I understand how difficult it can be to reach out and ask for help. In a session with me, you can expect to be deeply heard and listened to in an empathetic and non-judgmental space. I am here to help you explore your thoughts and feelings, and to support you in your journey toward healing, growth, and change.

I have provided individual, couple and family therapy to the community for 25 years and strongly believe that healing and growth is possible. Particular specialties include couple and family therapy including LGBT, anxiety, addiction, grief, and trauma. I utilize both traditional therapy and EMDR (for trauma). We all have past hurts and traumas. Until healed these impact our current relationships and EMDR is a quicker treatment with lasting results.

Imagine waking up in the morning without that impending sense of dread, or the constant need to overthink things. Together, we’ll turn the volume down on that critical voice and start turning the volume up on the positive voice that’s waiting to break through.

My clinical focus is on achieving overall well-being and long-term change. I like to assist clients with better understanding themself. With 15 years of experience working with children, teens, and adults. Using different approaches based on each individual. Experienced working in schools, trauma centers, and community based settings. I look forward to meeting you and starting this journey with you. The first step to reaching out is the hardest and most important step you can make.
