Hi! I'm Neli Betancourt-Rodriguez. I like to consider myself a Christian trauma therapist that specializes in all thing's trauma (childhood trauma, sexual abuse, family trauma, etc.). I have over 8 years of experience working with different people from all walks of life and aim to provide individualized treatment and care.
Utilizing biblical principles (should it be what you'd like) and person-centered theoretical approaches, I seek to understand and help people uncover the past experiences that continue to manifest themselves through behaviors, thoughts, emotions, and relational connections. I like to believe that no one form of treatment or approach is for everyone. We work together to explore what is best and create a treatment plan tailor made just for you. However, I do love to use narrative therapy techniques, cognitive behavioral therapy, person-centered techniques, trauma informed counseling, cognitive processing therapy, and emotion focused therapy.
There is something powerful about sitting across from someone that genuinely cares about your heart, your story, and your life. I highly value the people I connect with as a therapist because I too have been the client sitting on the other side. And so, my goal is for you to feel heard, understood, safe, and secure as we start our therapeutic journey together. You can expect a warm demeanor, a client centered approach as the expert of your life, and connection.
