Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Hello, I am Nirlap Bettenhauser. I provide therapy services at our Newton clinic.
My goal is to provide a warm, thoughtful, and nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly about what is happening in your life and begin to understand yourself and your experiences more deeply.
My background is in counseling and psychotherapy, with training that emphasizes psychodynamic and psychoanalytic approaches. I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, life transitions, low self-esteem, identity concerns, and recurring interpersonal patterns.
We can explore these connections while also focusing on the concerns that are affecting your life right now. My therapeutic style is compassionate, collaborative, and insight-oriented. I want to understand you as a whole person—your history, relationships, strengths, conflicts, and the experiences that have shaped who you are.
In our work together, we can explore these connections while also focusing on the concerns that are affecting your life right now. I would be glad to meet with you and explore whether working together feels like the right fit.
