Betty Gutman

My communication style

I am open and direct in my communication, providing an empathic approach to therapy. Clients are invited to actively participate in their healing journey and to feel safe and supported to express themselves.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have felt that being a therapist was a calling for me. My desire to support people during difficult times has been a theme in my life. I am able to help people realize their own potential to live a satisfying life.

My goals for you

Goal setting begins with clients expressing what they are dealing with that brought them to seek therapy. An exploration of defining goals that clients want to achieve is defined.

Our first session

The first session can be anxiety-provoking, so the pacing will be set according to the level of initial comfort. Questions about the present emotional state and issues will be addressed. Clients will be asked about any prior therapy experience and history taken regarding the present issues.
