Betsy completed her Master of Science (MS) in Mental Health Counseling after completing an internship with Old Vineyard Behavioral Health and various group homes to help transfer clients. She uses biofeedback methods (deep breathing and heart math) to calm and help clients ease into a calmer lifestyle. Betsy has used cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for children and adults with addictive behaviors. She presently has a certificate in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TFCBT) which is designed for victims of childhood sexual and physical abuse, and for older victims of domestic violence or sexual abuse.

You as a client know yourself, and Betsy as a counselor wants to give you as much care as she can for the time that you spend with her. She is here to help you through the time you need to collaborate and discuss open issues and she is open to hear and discuss your input. In the closing of therapy, however long it is, you and Betsy gently allow you to slowly stop therapy to help you take back over control of your life. Together you can develop a plan of action that will give you the tools and skills for a greater outcome to your life, through a nonjudgmental place that Betsy wants to be yours.

The negative effects of complex trauma don't have to be permanent. As someone who specifically specializes in treating complex trauma and dissociation, we can resolve those problems together.
My name is Brian Robertson, but most people just call me Rob. I am an EMDR therapist specializing in treating complex trauma, dissociative disorders, and borderline personality disorder. To best treat those with whom I work with, I am only taking new cases that have complex trauma. I also have experience in treating victims of sex trafficking, military combat trauma, and victims of ritual abuse and programming (cults). I am also a member of the International Society for the Study of Trauma and Dissociation, as well as a member of the ISSTD Special Interest Group for the Treatment of Organized and Extreme Abuse.
Using neurobiology, I like to use a scientific evidence-based, but also holistic and person-centered approach. Some of the therapeutic modalities I use are eye-movement desensitization reprocessing therapy (EMDR), ego state therapy, hypnosis, internal family systems (IFS), somatic therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and cognitive processing therapy.
I like to work with my patients as part of a team and I value being part of the journey in seeing them become the person that they want to be. Through the strength of empowerment, we can work together to help you become the person that you want to be.

I'm excited to get the opportunity to work with you! Here are a few things you may need to know before your first appointment. If you choose to do a virtual appointment, you must be residing in North Carolina, which is the state in which I am licensed to provide services. This is not a concern if you are choosing to come in person for appointments. If you are seeking play therapy for a child, this is provided in person only due to the nature of the way service is provided, making it a service that does not lend itself to virtual appointments. This is not a concern for traditional talk therapy with adults, which can be provided virtually.

Terryn completed her Master of Arts in Community Counseling at the University of North Carolina - Charlotte.

Terryn utilizes multiple treatment approaches with adults to fit their needs including mindfulness, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), motivational interviewing, and client/person-centered therapy.

Terryn also understands how difficult it can be to find the right clinician to help guide you through the therapeutic process. Terryn is willing to work alongside you in your therapeutic journey and meet you where you are at, while also providing the insight and coping strategies you need to grow and heal. If you are ready to start, or even continue, your therapeutic journey, schedule an appointment with Terryn.

I use a cognitive behavioral approach. I find this approach beneficial because I ask you to face your traumatic memories by describing aspects of your experience in detail. During this process, I can help you cope with any distress you feel while identifying any beliefs you have about the experience that may be unhelpful. We can then develop a plan on how to reduce the impact of triggering events that may arise in the future.
I use the following tools while I am supporting someone on their PTSD healing journey:
I know a client has made meaningful, significant progress in PTSD/trauma therapy when you have made significant progress in your treatment and are able to focus on matters concerning your future. While there may still be some lingering symptoms of trauma, we can address them when we collaborate and work on setting new goals for you.
Clients can supplement their time in PTSD/trauma therapy by adding these items to their coping skills toolkit:
To prepare for your first PTSD/trauma therapy session, you can expect to talk about some of the things that traumatized you. You won't have to go into detail initially, as the intake is a lot of generalized questions to allow me to get a better idea of you as a person. In each session after the intake, we will go into more depth at your pace. When I am your therapist, you are in charge of the pace of healing on your respective journey!
At Thriveworks, Trauma/PTSD therapy involves dedicated efforts to address and navigate through past and/or recent traumatic events. Therapists specializing in trauma create a secure environment to process and heal from these experiences, aiming to reduce trauma-related symptoms and enhance overall quality of life.
Our Thriveworks providers use Trauma/PTSD therapy treatments like eye movement desensitization and reprocessing EMDR, CBT, and exposure therapy with the goal of helping clients process the traumatic events they have experienced so that they can to start feeling safe and secure again.
The symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can vary but often include:
The best way to overcome PTSD triggers is to seek the assistance of a professional therapist, such as those at Thriveworks, who can help you to understand and treat your PTSD triggers.
In most cases, a therapist who specializes in Trauma/PTSD therapy is the best type of mental health professional to address the symptoms of PTSD.
PTSD/trauma therapy at Thriveworks is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
If a client is working through a single traumatic event that occurred as an adult, trauma or PTSD therapy may only take a few months, but in general, it can take a year or more to effectively treat trauma symptoms and PTSD. The duration of treatment is highly dependent on the client and the severity of their symptoms.
The success rate of therapy for PTSD depends entirely on the individual’s symptoms, commitment to attending sessions, and personal abilities.
