Betsy Byler, M.A., LPC-SAS, 

Hi, I’m Betsy. I’m a licensed therapist, substance use counselor, clinical supervisor and a person in long-term recovery from substance use. When I started in our field I felt confident in my grad school education and life experience. In my first year as a therapist I learned quickly that I was missing a large chunk of information, specifically about substances.  I then began learning everything I could to help fill in the gaps.  I’m excited to bring this information to you so that you can bring more healing and freedom to your clients!

You might be wondering if you know enough to 

intervene in your clients' use…

We may feel like we need a lot of information about substances before we start working with client substance use, but the main reason clients make progress in therapy is the quality of the relationship with a helping professional. The information is important, but your connection with them is where it all starts. 


The Treatment Planning Tool will help you consider the factors involved when deciding where to start. You already have the skills needed to talk to your client about sensitive topics, now you just need a little direction in order to begin.

You are not alone. I’ve been there too. We can feel like a fish out of water at first, but that goes away quickly. Our expertise and relationship-building skills give us almost everything we need to make this leap.

Betsy has a way of making complex concepts related to trauma, substance abuse, and mental health issues extremely approachable. I have enjoyed learning from her about substance abuse issues since my background is in mental health and trauma work.
