Pain is real, and so is hope.

Before seeing Betsy I was a very co-dependant people pleaser. I felt responsible for how others felt around me and I relied on others to foster my emotional state of being. I grew up in a home where it was top priority to put others first, even, and most often, at the expense of ones self. I believed others opinions of me over my own so much that I had come to a place of feeling like I was an unstable, selfish, crazy person. My thoughts of my self so heavily conflicted with what I was being told at the time that I had no peace about my identity. Betsy pointed out that my problem was not that I was crazy but that I was not regulating what I received as truth from the outside world or even my own head. She showed me how to take care of and respect myself. She taught me that I have value apart from just what I can give to others. She was my listening ear, my gentle rebuke and my shoulder to cry on. I have been to many counselors and wile none were bad I have never seen results like I have with Betsy. She is the perfect combination of logical and empathetic, she is invested and truly cares and I am lucky to have found her.

Betsy was a blessing at a time when I needed someone to share thoughts, frustrations, laughter and love. She assisted at a time when God knew I needed her.

My fiancee and I had been in a relationship for six years prior to being engaged and we believed our experience of premarital counseling would simply affirm things we already knew. Very quickly, our time with Betsy made us realize there was a lot more we could do as a couple to ensure we were preparing for a healthy, honest, and loving marriage. Having a third party perspective and voice to broaden our communication skills and awareness was immensely helpful. We’re now much more confident in how we approach life’s challenges and successes together!

I am pleased and privileged to endorse the counseling services of Elizabeth Nuismer, LPCC, CHAIS. She is a clear thinking, perceptive listener.  Her ability to identify stress, anxiety, and unhealthy responses to every day issues result in her unique style of nonjudgmental, straightforward truth telling with compassion. Her insight for me was profound. And the application brought me logically, emotionally, and spiritually to a clearing of my faulty thinking and eventually to a solution to a serious family dynamic.

My personal recommendation for counseling services are only given with extreme caution. I, prayerfully, hope you find help, and highly recommend Elizabeth Nuismer’s services.

Scott and Betsy provided individual and marriage therapy for my wife and I. Their experience in these areas help us grow as individuals and as a couple. The time spent with time them improved our communications and serenity a great deal. I highly recommend either Scott or Betsy for either of these types of therapies.

My time with Scott has been helpful and meaningful in many ways. In my time he has helped point me in the direction of creating a better mindset. He has a great way of understanding my problems and delving into the core of what’s really behind it all. Most of all, he knows that no one is going to be in therapy forever, so he hasn’t just helped me with the immediate problem at hand but how to look and plan forward, creating better solutions for the long term.
