*IMMEDIATE OPENINGS AVAILABLE* You are ambitious, driven and determined. Sounds pretty good, until it's not. The tired but always wired feeling. Finding it hard to relax or enjoy anything that isn't "productive". And even when you do have down time you find it hard to be present with the people you love, you're too busy worrying about all of the things, or feeling disconnected from what's going on around you. And your inner critic, don't even get me started on that. You are sick and tired of caring so much what other people think. But you want so badly for others to see you as a good person. Someone who is valuable, successful.

I wholeheartedly believe that everyone can benefit from having an impartial person to talk to! My goal is to provide a safe, judgement-free environment for you to work through the barriers and obstacles of everyday life, regardless of the situation. I am here to listen to you, support your thoughts, validate your feelings, and provide comfort and understanding. You are so important and deserve to be heard, and I would love to be a part of that journey with you.

We all experience times of struggle and a desire for growth. We all want to feel less afraid, more comfortable in our own skin, more free, more whole, and more alive. I provide a safe and non-judgement environment and will help you explore and gain a deeper understanding of and connection with yourself and the world around you. I will work together with you to help you grow, heal and learn new ways of relating to yourself, being in the world and responding to life and its challenges.

Welcome! Sometimes life feels like one challenge after another. Whether it's dealing with depression and anxiety, ending a toxic relationship, or managing life transitions, life can leave you feeling overwhelmed and unsure of the next steps to take. Therapy offers a warm and supportive place in the midst of this chaos. You deserve the space to learn more about yourself, grow, and heal.

Are feelings of anxiety or depression stealing your joy? Are you in a difficult life transition (new job, relocation, new baby, marriage, divorce, empty nester, retirement) or amid a major life stressor (health issue, death of a loved one, job loss)? Are your relationships struggling? Do you long for more self-confidence, a clearer sense of purpose or higher career satisfaction? I can help! I will meet you where you are and offer my support and encouragement. Together, we will build an authentic relationship and create a safe space for you to discover hope, healing and positive change. I see couples and individual adult clients.

As a clinical psychologist, I have over 15 years of experience providing evidence-based therapies for a variety of presenting concerns. I specialize in individual and couples therapy and approach therapy from a strengths-based, client-centered orientation. If you're struggling with relationship conflicts, mental health symptoms like anxiety or depression, or problematic substance use, we might be a good fit. Most importantly, I am committed to providing a warm, collaborative, and empathetic environment where you can achieve your goals and create a life worth living.

I believe your story is important. The pain, the victories, the traumas, and the triumphs - all of those elements come together in a way that can either devastate us, hold us back, or motivate us to move forward. I want to cheer you on as you move farther forward than you imagined was possible. Whether you feel unmotivated, sad, lethargic, anxious, worried, or just lost - we can figure it out together. I treat adults through telehealth, offering flexible and convenient appointment times.

Life can have its challenges and often cause us to feel distressed and unbalanced. You may have hoped with time, things would somehow get back to a place where you could feel good about life, but the loss, the pain, the struggle has been too great. You may have discovered that after an intense battle with depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma, time is not the only thing you need to heal. Yet, time has come to serve you. It is in this moment you have chosen to face your fears, overcome your challenges, and adopt tools which will help you to find peace and balance. Today, you begin your journey toward wellbeing.

Welcome! I am Betsy Singer-Lefton, a licensed professional counselor. I am a therapist because I believe deeply in people’s capacity to grow, and heal, and aspire to help people live their best lives. I am currently accepting new clients ages 7 to adult, with available weekdays until 7:00pm for in-person or telehealth counseling sessions.

I have worked in private practice since 1995. In that time, I have come to appreciate the collaboration and interplay between my clients and myself. I encourage people to pursue adaptations of their ideas, life choices and relationships as a way of taking charge of their own lives. Usually it takes many small shifts and multiple steps to lead to a beneficial outcome. It's not easy but therapy can be rewarding and life altering with the development of insight and the use of extra support to move forward.

It's hard knowing where to even begin, right? Everyone thinks that you have it all together, but you’re feeling lost. You need to make some changes. But how? It can be exhausting to even get through the day. You manage so much - a career, home life, family, relationships, finances…the list goes on and on - but rarely do you put yourself at the top of the list. You're feeling the pressure of it all. This rapid pace has worked well for you and you’ve had your share of success, but it’s just not working for you anymore. Something has to give, but you don’t know exactly where to begin. Therapy can be a meaningful start towards healing.

As a resilience focused clinician, I deliver services in a person-centered- multifaceted evidence-based approach! Specializing in mental health and substance use concerns for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress management, relationship issues, life transitions, and self-esteem issues. I also have experiences working with families and individuals who have encountered trauma, individuals with an intellectual and/or disability, family origin concerns: ACES (adverse childhood event), co-dependency, attachment and adjustment anxieties, caregiver stress/burnout, and life transitions.

Sometimes it feels like you're out of control. Your emotions are running the show. Later, you regret the things you've said or done in the heat of the moment. The good news is that emotional regulation is a skill that can be improved! You can develop skills to better recognize and regulate your emotions and deal with distressing thoughts and feelings. You can learn to respond thoughtfully to situations rather than just reacting. We can work together to develop your ability to be in the moment and enjoy life.

Isolation, loneliness, and lack of connection are all critical health issues many of us are experiencing in the world today. Life is guaranteed to come with challenges, and sometimes, we can play a part in our own suffering because we are too afraid to ask for help. I get it- asking for help can be scary, but please remember you are so deserving of the freedom that comes with releasing unwanted pain and hurt. If you are experiencing a season of life that feels too difficult to bear alone, you’re in the right place. It takes an immense amount of courage to make the decision to get “unstuck” and share your story with a therapist.

I believe in a holistic approach, meaning that mental, emotional and physical health should be addressed in order to help an individual heal. I am solution focused, and believe my role is to help assist you in working through the issues that will allow you to becoming healthier and happier, achieving a fulfilling life that has purpose and meaning. I am extremely passionate about people and relationships. I have been working as a therapist since 2007, when I completed my graduate degree. My undergraduate degree was obtained in 1997 from San Diego State University in Health Education.

People can heal from trauma. But you don't have to do this alone. People pleasing, relationship stress, anger, chronic pain, addictions, shame, insecurity; just a few ways trauma tends to show itself in your life. When people decide to get curious about how the wounding moments in life have impacted their self-worth and worldview, then healing can occur. You deserve to heal. And you deserve support through this process. I help people let go of shame, rediscover who they are, and find reasons to smile again. I would be honored to help discover what healing looks like for you, should you choose to no longer travel that path alone.

Regardless of who you are or what you believe, life is a challenge. You may be experiencing grief, life transitions, or difficult relationships. Perhaps you are an older adult who is facing the loss of friends, loved ones, and your independence. Maybe you are dealing with physical pains and illnesses which leave you feeling depressed or anxious. My goal as your counselor is to empower you with tools to help you manage your life experiences in more productive ways. I use practical approaches and techniques geared towards supporting your goal of achieving mental and emotional wellness.
