Dr. Betty K Armstrong

My training as a clinical psychologist prepared me to work with clients struggling with a wide variety of psychological difficulties: eating disorders, depression, anxiety, stress management, relationship problems, and emotional trauma. I also have expertise in the field of clinical behavior analysis. From this vantage point, I focus primarily on an individual's current functioning and life challenges, while integrating relevant aspects of the individual's behavioral history. The treatment goal is always to help a client learn new skills that may be necessary to improve life circumstances and increase feelings of satisfaction and fulfillment.

I have worked primarily with individuals with eating disorders for almost 30 years. As the individual therapist for my clients, I routinely coordinate care with additional professionals: psychiatrists, dietitians, internists, cardiologist, marital/family therapists.

My theoretical background in behavior analysis has well prepared me for helping my clients recognize and better understand the life events that have shaped their difficulties as well as their successes.
