About My Clients
Bettina's approach to mental health includes working closely with clients from an integrative standpoint. She believes clients should have an active role in the management of their psychiatric care, and thus, partners with her clients in developing a holistic approach to care that takes into account a person's values and choices. Bettina specializes in treating ADHD, depression, anxiety, PTSD, co-occurring substance abuse, and bipolar disorders.
My Background and Approach
During our initial visit, we will have ample time to learn about you, your health history, and your needs. We will then discuss a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan, for which you will have active participation to ensure the treatment plan feels right and safe for you. As a holistic-focused psychiatric provider with more than 6 years experience, I have learned having a comprehension treatment modality that is agreed upon between the client and provider is imperative for implementing real change. Treatment modalities I use include psychotherapy (i.e. cognitive behavioral therapy), medication management, meditation, herbal supplements (when appropriate), and biofeedback. I am committed to utilizing evidenced-based care to ensure best practices are being met when delivering psychiatric care. As a holistic-based psychiatric provider, I will work with you to get to the underlying issues affecting your mental health so that you can gain resilience and take back control over your life.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I believe one's mental health is imperative to overall health and well-being. Everyone should be granted access to mental health services, no matter their background or life circumstances. This is why I am committed to making my services affordable so that many people can benefit. I also believe in the power of people's own resilience. As a mental health provider, my job is not to tell you what you need to do, or how I think you need to "heal". Rather, my role is to guide you towards your own self discovery, for you hold the very answers you are seeking. My hope is that you leave your experience working with me feeling seen, heard, and empowered.
