About Me
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.
I look forward to meeting you and working together!
My Approach
My therapy approach is treating each client with empathy and genuine compassion and creating a safe environment for the client to feel supported and empowered. I have a background of providing strength-based, trauma-informed care.
I believe that everyone has a unique journey in life, that each treatment is personalized, and that we can break past psychological barriers to achieve your full potential together for yourself and for your partner.
My Experience
I have gained valuable experience working in clinical settings with school-based children, youths, and families, with an emphasis on the special education field. I also have experience working with adults and children in a residential substance abuse treatment center and have provided care for those diagnosed with OCD. I have served as the Program Director in an adult residential eating disorder facility, providing therapy to clients with co-occurring disorders such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, severe mental health, grief and loss, personality disorders, and bipolar disorder.
My Life
I, myself, have been married for over 20 years and together with my partner, we have raised two wonderful young adults. So, I personally understand the highs and lows of a marriage, raising children, experiencing grief and loss, taking care of our aging parents, and many other life challenges. Through my own experience, I understand the importance of prioritizing our partnership and acknowledging the importance of strengthening this core foundation of our families. It will take hard work, dedication, and a commitment to learn from each other and really listen to what your partner needs, and I am excited to help guide you in that process.
