About

Dr. Margaret “Betsy” Vonk is a Georgia-based licensed clinical social worker and educator with more than 20 years of experience providing counseling and over two decades teaching clinical social work to MSW students.

She completed her Master of Social Work at Florida State University and earned a PhD in Social Work from the University of Georgia. Her clinical practice has addressed a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, stress, coping with life changes, retirement and aging, grief and loss, adoption-related matters, family of origin issues, relationship and intimacy-related difficulties, parenting concerns, self-esteem challenges, and compassion fatigue.

Her therapeutic style is warm, nonjudgmental, and collaborative. She draws on the strengths perspective and cognitive-behavioral strategies while acknowledging her early psychodynamic training. Existential approaches are also used when questions of meaning become central. Treatment is personalized to meet each person’s needs and goals.

She is a licensed clinical social worker in Georgia, which reflects advanced clinical training and authorization to provide psychotherapy. Starting therapy is a courageous step, and Dr. Vonk would be honored to support someone through that process.

This makes it easier to attend sessions around work, family, and other commitments.
