About Betina Bolin

I have over 16 years of combined therapy experience at the professional level and believe in the profession that I am licensed in which is social work. I believe in a client-centered perspective and derive my approaches from a variety of treatment modalities. Cognitive behavioral is a significant framework that I utilize but I believe that other approaches are also effective as sessions need to be tailored to the unique needs of the individual or clientele being served. I believe in true empathy, truly trying to understand my clients’ perspectives and their insight into their lives. Each person I have done therapy with over the years and will be doing therapy with has inherent worth, dignity and I believe in their abilities to improve in areas of self-direction and self-efficacy. Therapy is all about the client who is reading this right now, the therapist is simply a conduit to improve a person’s ability to reorganize their life, to improve their internal locus of control, to help a client engage in goal-oriented behavior and be conscientious of the choices one is making in life on a regular basis. Cognitive behavioral methods consider irrational thought paradigms and help to counteract these cognitions or thoughts with more rational, counterbalancing, self-esteem enhancing thoughts and help a person to see the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

“Betina is very respectful and listen well to my concerns and conversation. She allowed me to express myself well and be judgmental.”

“Betina is very respectful and listen well to my concerns and conversation. She allowed me to express myself well and be judgmental.”

“I am in a much better place after having Betina as my therapist”

“Very kind and thoughtful! Thank you Betina!”

“I have had two sessions with Betina. In just the two hours together online, she has given me more to think about and work with thank anyone else I have spoken with. Thank you Betina”

“I really enjoy our sessions.”

“Just within a month of working with Betina I build up the courage to file a report I had been avoiding for years. She really helped me face my sexual trauma. I’m so grateful to have found a therapist who has made me make strides and progress. 10/10 recommend working with Betina!”

“Betina is non judgemental, insightful, and great at what she does. I highly recommend her. Life changing”

“When signing up for this service, I was in a very volatile state, I was in the lowest place id ever been, and after just our first session, Betina had opened my eyes to things about my situation that helped me start the process of healing and getting better. Just a small talk had me calmed down, and it gave me the ability to think for myself and really evaluate my situation, and im very grateful for that.”

“Betina, <br /> <br /> She is a true professional, who is well versed in her therapies and has provided me with the support, insight and tools to have a better life. I'm very grateful for her guidance and professional approach. She hears me and understands the necessary steps to help guide me. <br /> <br /> I'm very thankful for her and better help. <br /> <br /> Thank you Betina!”

“Betina is very in tune with me, she’s also very intuitive! Love her!”

“Betina has been a vital portion of the team helping me along my path of self discovery and purpose. <br /> Some might consider the pairing serendipitous. I had been assigned two other options previous and had nearly given up on having a weekly therapist. <br /> I feel very appreciative for Betina’s natural receptive abilities. She has never been overt with guidance. Our conversation allows mutual respect and she offers opportunities for self discovery in the spirit of a teammate vs. a mentoring tone. <br /> Her character is kind and gentle but, clear. She is technically sharp and maintains an ever increasing toolbox of current , effective wellness methods. <br /> I couldn't ask for anyone better.”

“Very polite very approachable take the time to listen”

“Betina offers a regular appointment to review my life, a very positive moment of reflection, a reminder to stop and think and reorganize with a friendly voice who holds me to my principles and connects the dots in my story. I'm very grateful for her quiet presence!”

“Betina is a kind and compassionate therapist. She listens, remembers, engages and generally makes me feel heard and understood.”
