Professional statement

Betsy Colvin is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who is working on line through telehealth. Betsy Colvin provides expert care for teenagers and adults who experience distressing emotional states. She gives her clients a safe space to talk about what’s stressing them out, weighing heavily on their minds, bothering them at home or school, or leading them to dark thoughts.

Betsy’s approach to therapy draws from many evidence-based modalities. She teaches her clients about the importance of attachment and feeling connected to others. She also encourages them to explore how the relationships early in their lives impact their current ways of connecting with others.

Betsy earned her Master’s degree from Dominican University. She is an expert at helping teenagers and young adults process through the challenging feelings that arise at that time of life. She teaches her clients how to cope with their emotions and move forward in their lives.

Natalie Baur also works at Anderson Clinical Services. She specializes in treating ADHD, Eating Disorders, Anxiety & Depression. She is able to draw upon personal experience as well as clinical knowledge to offer ways to manage symptoms. For Eating Disorders, she offer a comprehensive approach when it comes to recovery. We will explore the purpose that your eating disorder serves, and talk about strategies for overcoming the urges that your ED has. She approaches working with anxiety with humor, normalizing it, and talking through it to challenge the validity of the thoughts, as well as how to manage the symptoms before they start. With Depression, she first get a sense of what that looks like for you, and then provides psychoeducation and find strategies to combat it.


Message to clients

We know that it can be a difficult thing to come in and see a new therapist or make an appointment to come in for therapy. We want to reassure you that if you are reading this then you are probably ready to make that next step. We would love to work with you and help you through what is going on in your life.

We just want to let you know that we are here to help you and support you through this time. We know that therapy brings up some difficult things that need to be discussed but let us reassure you that we are here to help you and listen to you. We won't go beyond what you can handle at the time of us starting as we want to start where you are comfortable. The harder topics will come up in time throughout the therapy process.

Be gentle with yourself. It is a process to go through therapy and it takes time. It won't all be "fixed" overnight but it will get better while working through therapy. We just want to let you know that I am your support and your biggest fan during this time.
