Amelia Betancourt, MS

I'm a psychotherapist who specializes in supporting individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, self-esteem challenges, and LGBTQ+ concerns. Whether you're hoping to build emotional regulation skills, improve communication, or feel more grounded in who you are, I offer a collaborative, nonjudgmental space where that work can happen.

Specialties & Approaches

Therapy Style

My therapy style is primarily grounded in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), with influences from acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and feminist theory. I recognize the impact of broader social and political realities on mental health, and I tailor sessions to meet your evolving needs.

Philosophy

I work especially well with clients who are motivated to improve their quality of life by reflecting on their experiences and how those experiences shape their beliefs about themselves, others, and the world. I offer a compassionate space to explore trauma, develop insight, and move toward growth.
