Specialties

I have been a practicing licensed clinical social worker for over 30 years in the Triangle. As a native Chapel Hillian, I have a vast knowledge of educational opportunities (both public and private) and community and state resources for you and your family. I have a very open-minded, psychodynamic approach to therapy. I use cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), solution focused brief therapy (SFBT), and play therapy when I'm working with children. I have completed two master's programs at UNC-Chapel Hill in both clinical social work and recreation therapy. I've also had the good fortune to train with many leading experts on ADHD, sensory issues and temperament issues in children. Having a background in recreation therapy gives me a wonderful foundation for incorporating fun, meaningful play into sessions with children. My areas of specialization are working with children, adolescents and adults with anxiety, depression and ADHD, parenting issues, life transitions, adjustment to new parenthood (including postpartum depression), relationship counseling, school consultation, and support for families during separation/divorce. I utilize CBT, sensory play and art with children. My approach with adults is custom tailored to each client, but my background is in family systems, solution focused and cognitive behavioral therapies.

History

Established in 2000.

I have worked in a variety of clinical settings including Adult and Pediatric hospital services, outpatient medical clinics at UNC Hospitals, SAS Institute, Inc, teaching in the UNC Medical School, inpatient psychiatry at Durham Regional Hospital and in various outpatient pediatric offices. When my second child was born, I decided that creating my own practice would allow me to customize my work for every client in the best possible way to suit their clinical needs. I am now able to see clients for longer sessions if they desire, observe their children outside of the office (where issues might be occurring) and provide a much more personalized approach.

Meet the Business Owner: Betsy G.

I often wonder why we do such a good job taking care of our physical health with regular dental care, vision care and check-ups, but seem to put our mental health on the "back burner." I truly believe that therapy is a wonderful gift that we can give to ourselves, and research tells us that our mental health has a profound impact on our physical health. Hopefully, we will begin to recognize this and begin to nurture and take better care of our emotional health. I designed my practice to empower all of my clients to recognize their strengths, envision positive change in their lives and live each day to its fullest.
