25+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE.
Brief therapy sessions can bring long term results by helping you focus on the solution to the problem.
I am skilled in CBT- the gold standard for therapy that empowers you to take positive action.
My practical therapeutic approach can help you heal and feel better once and for all. You may feel like you've been stuck in a living hell but I know a way out.
I am a dedicated, bilingual (English and Spanish) therapist, strategic intervention specialist and coach, crisis team leader and counselor with over 25 years of experience helping thousands of individuals, couples and families during the most critical times of their lives. Over 100,00 U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs patients receive telemental health services-that's no coincidence because you really need help when you need it wherever you are in the world.

Recently appeared on the CNN network program"HLN After Dark-to discuss psychological aspects of the Jodi Arias Trial with Dr.Drew.
The best part of my education did not come from the universities that I attended-it came from talking to real people like you going through real situations and struggling to find practical solutions-helping them six days a week for over 25 years.

As a Crisis Intervention Team Supervisor for over 25 years, I have unique practical experience that few other therapists have, helping thousands of people to overcome their anxieties and fears, build better lives and relationships and reclaim their joy, dignity and self respect. I have counseled and coached people from all walks of life, including doctors, nurses, professional boxers, homemakers, musicians and film actors experiencing anxiety on a high pressure stage or set.
You really don't stop hurting just because you're in a time zone where all the offices and clinics are closed. You can still get encouragement, wise counsel and insight when you need it.

Today was good practice finding a purpose and planning accordingly to go with the literature from the previous reading. The best readers are re-readers and researchers I am excited about coming back to what I started but this time drawing out more specifics.

Robert really is a stabilizing force with how to leverage truth about how the
Mind body and soul interact. Sometimes I think I have one thing under control and like today
I realized some more balance was needed so that I can develop better system level thinking
vs lower level observations; todays example of the environmental changes is a great aid to sensing stronger transitioning and better data collection and organization.

Great text (1 cor 13) today on what heavenly rewards are and referencing contexts stirring me to remember the basics of my faith and talk about it as prayers and beliefs can help others and myself think about recovery rest and better relationships.

I am excited about reading about faith and deepening understanding there is also importance to talk about other things surrounding passages like fear or evil or rewards. Robert reminds me to develop great friends and also make connections between the readings to pick up on taking corrective action for dealing with trends and using even the negative to an advantage.

This session I was able to slow down a bit and get a better understanding of rich salvation and go to verses for prayer. Robert showed me from a different verse the same things I learned at other time sometimes saying things a little differently brings out the meaning and helps memory all together along with good people skills.

We discussed new verses but also reviewed the basics especially with health, prayer, and perceiving the truth about God. I really enjoy the new words like propitiation (appeasing God or spirit ) as that was a new word but getting better at it. Knowing what the Bible says better helps me respond and think about the way I show Gods love to live a full life that is kind, loving, and loyal (even better than a Warcraft type character hero! )

I have called Dr. Betancourt for many years, and he has always been honest, positive, funny, direct, and no non-sense with his advice. He will tell you like it is. If you are looking for honest therapy that will help you change your mindset and offer you a better quality of living based on your thoughts!!

learned how to be more efficient today with the 8 step formula based on scripture and excellent story for “suffocating” evil. I like checking in to make sure I get the most out of the Bible and life Robert knows a lot of the questions I have before I even ask how refreshing today was to deepen understanding about changes and being able to share that knowledge and experience.

My first chat session with Robert was amazing. He seeks to understand clearly over chat and gave me ample time to provide background information. Then he offers powerful and practical suggestions for mindfulness. I feel a tremendous sense of inner peace and gratitude after chatting with Robert. I highly recommend that you chat with him or call him or both.
