Sonya (Dr. Sonya K. Bettendorf) Bettendorf
(She/Her/Hers)
Certified Group Psychotherapist (CGP), Psychologist
Welcome to my practice. Relationships are vital for survival and necessary for growth. Therapy can offer a safe space to understand oneself more deeply.
My approach to psychotherapy is grounded in a philosophy that relationships are necessary for growth. Often, however, people experience disconnections. The resulting isolation can be a major source of suffering. Although we deeply desire and need emotional connections, many are reasonably apprehensive about the risks involved in moving into vulnerable spaces. Therapy can offer a safe space to relinquish unproductive patterns, modify rigid expectations of others, and form new ways of relating.
