I would like to take this opportunity to share my experience and recommend Betsy Rosander based on the profound impact she has had on my life.
I began therapy in December 2023 following challenges within my family relationships. From my very first session with Betsy, I felt safe, supported and understood. Even through virtual appointments, she created an environment that was warm, welcoming and healing.
Betsy has a unique ability to balance compassion with honesty. She provides direct, constructive feedback while helping me recognize unhealthy patterns and develop practical tools to change them. Her calm and reassuring presence made it easy to be vulnerable and trust the therapeutic process.
During our weekly sessions, Betsy consistently showed patience, empathy and genuine concern for my emotional, mental and overall well-being. Early on, I often spent sessions crying as I processed years of suppressed emotions. She never rushed me or made me feel uncomfortable for expressing those feelings. Instead, she encouraged me to work through them in a healthy way.
Our work initially focused on my codependent relationship with my mother, but as therapy progressed, Betsy helped me identify additional patterns that were affecting my life, including people- pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries and low self-esteem. Before working with her, I didn’t fully understand these behaviors or know how to address them. Betsy not only listened- but she also educated me, helping me understand the reasons behind my patterns and empowering me to make healthier decisions.
As our work continued, Betsy recognized that unresolved trauma was making it difficult for me to move forward and recommended EMDR therapy. Through EMDR combined with cognitive therapy, I was able to process and heal from many emotionally traumatic experiences that had previously held me back.
Over the past two years, working with Betsy has brought tremendous peace, growth and healing into my life. I am deeply grateful for her guidance, expertise and unwavering support and I look forward to continuing my journey with her. I wholeheartedly recommend Betsy Rosander to anyone seeking a compassionate, knowledgeable and highly effective therapist.

I have worked with Betsy Rosander a little over two years. I remember having technical difficulties during our first vitual session. I apologized, saying that I didn’t want to waste her time. She responded back by saying “You are NEVER a waste of my time!” I instantly felt seen in such a way that I had never felt before. I have always remembered the lasting impression Betsy made on me so early in our time together. I have worked with many therapists throughout the years. Betsy is highly specialized and has been the most compassionate, impactful, and helpful of all.

I’ve been seeing Betsy Rosander for almost 2 years. Betsy and I first met in 2019 when we both responded t the humanitarian disaster after Hurricane Dorian destroyed the Bahamas. Personally, I had been in therapy since 2017, when I returned from Iraq and Syria as a humanitarian, and while I didn’t neeed her services at the time, we connected over our shared experience in the Bahamas, our love for doing good work throughout communities, and our similar mindset to self-care, self evaluation and self improvement.
In 2023 my therapist semi-retired, just as my life took a series of unexpected turns. I welcomed my daughter that year, did another tough assignment to war-torn Ukraine (while pregnant), and my husband began t show signs of early onset dementia at age 39.
By December of 2023 I was nearly to a mental breakdown, and I reached out to Betsy to see whether she had any recommendations for therapists in my area. Like the amazing person she is, Betsy offered me sessions, and I’ve been seeing her weekly ever since.
Betsy’s approach and consistency, her encouragement for me to finally start medication (something I resisted for so long) and her willingness to help me find coping strategies have truly helped me navigate these challenging years, and have led me to a happier, healthier state of being. My situation has not changed. But thanks to her guidance and support I am now better able to navigate these horrible difficulties with grace and compassion, not just for myself, but for others as well.

Betsy Rosander has helped me over the past three years. She has guided me through my darkest times and continues to be a bright light in that darkness. She took the time to get to know me and continues to do so.
Over the years, I have presented her with various challenges and situations. I have found Betsy to provide helpful and realistic insight, while being creative and resourceful in her methods to help me better understand, learn and grow from them – no matter the circumstance. It is because of Betsy that I continue to move forward.
