Dr. Betsy Stone is a brilliant psychologist, a master teacher and most importantly she understands how to communicate. She listens and meets people where they are. As a result, Betsy has been an important facilitator for our congregation as we navigate this anxious time of COVID. She has helped our parents to process the trauma they and their children are experiencing and has helped us create a sense of sanctuary so that we can discuss the difficult issues raised by parenting during this time of pandemic. I highly recommend her as a master teacher and facilitator.
