About me

Greetings, my name is Bettina J. Sellers. I have a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Georgia, and I have been in private practice since 2018. Although my civilian counseling career began in 2015, my counseling experience began as a Non-commissioned Officer in the Air Force during my 20-year career.

I have unconditional positive regard for my clients, and I meet them where they are, as I give them helpful tools to navigate life’s changes and challenges. I work with teens dealing with a wide range of challenges such as anxiety, career planning, depression, life changes, sex trafficking, sexual abuse, and sexual identity to name a few.

I use an integrated theoretical approach to Psychotherapy, utilizing evidence-based treatment modalities such as the person-centered approach emphasizing the importance of the therapist/client relationship, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I help my clients gain the necessary insight, to make positive changes that can lead to a more fulfilling life.

I like working with adolescents, because in this age of bullying, peer pressure, and social media they are often overexposed and inundated with too many outside influences, it can be a very confusing and scary time. I enjoy watching their growth from the first session until they are ready to use their new tools, fly on their own, and conquer the world. I have facilitated various teen groups to include anger management, grief and loss, sexual identity confusion, and sexual assault.

Bettina has been exactly what I needed, and I appreciate her greatly

Written on May 09, 2023 after therapy with Bettina for 3 weeks on issues concerning relationship

Bettina has been great to us. We have been with her 4 times for marriage counseling. Already we are noticing things start to open up between us apart from just the worksheets. And she has started to tackle some of my childhood issues that I have struggled with for a long time. She is very reassuring and perceptive and I feel safe with her, which is something I've struggled with in therapy. We're so glad we found her.

I feel as though Bettina understands me, and understands what my goals are for myself and my relationships. I appreciate Bettina’s positivity and her valuable insights. She has also gone above and beyond to accommodate our schedule, which we also greatly appreciate. We feel like we will be better parents and spouses with Bettina’s help.

Bettina is compassionate yet firm. She truly can read a situation, get to the root of the problem, and provide guidance. We couldn’t be happier.
