My name is Betty G. Garrison, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor, psychodramatist, drama therapist, and play therapist in training. A practitioner of action methods. I am tri-lingual (English, Spanish, and some Italian) and hold advanced degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, Theatre Education & Drama Therapy, and Film & Social Reform.

Ever since I was a teenager I knew that one of my purpose in life was to help others. Also, I knew that one of my strengths is the capacity to connect with others.
Understanding the nature of our behaviors and the way we interpret life became a great challenge. I enrolled in Psychology School with a clear understanding of what I wanted professionally, but never imagined the profound and deep journey that I was about to begin.
I have been helping people finding solutions to complex problems for more than 20 years. I have a wealth of experience with individuals across the life span and the many challenges we face at various stages of life.
What inspired me to become a psychotherapist? Witnessing the challenges people face in life and being captivated by superheroes as a child. Helping others is my passion—it feels like I'm living my childhood dreams. My experience in state psychiatric centers, working with individuals dealing with severe and persistent mental health issues, solidified my desire to assist those with social and emotional needs. While working as a school counselor was rewarding, I felt compelled to offer more comprehensive services beyond psycho-educational workshops. Pursuing clinical therapy was a natural progression for me. I earned my mental health counseling degree at LIU Post and furthered my expertise with certifications and training in CBT, internal family systems, ACT, and logotherapy. These skills enable me to assist clients with reparenting, anxiety, depression, PTSD, stress management, co-parenting, couples counseling, family therapy, and emotional regulation.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you live the life you envision!

My unique offering combines the depth of psychotherapy to uncover underlying emotional and behavioral patterns with the strategic focus of coaching to accelerate goal achievement. This dual approach helps you identify the barriers that prevent success and develop practical, sustainable strategies to overcome them.
My background spans from working in psychiatric hospital settings to guiding high-functioning clients in private practice. I am committed to advancing professional education, having presented at leading universities like Columbia University, NYU, and Brooklyn College, and conducting specialized trauma and wellness workshops for professionals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Farmingdale
Searching for therapists in Farmingdale starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for specific life stages.
In a smaller community like Farmingdale, nearby in-person options may be more limited than in larger New York cities. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New York. You can also narrow your search by appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how a therapist structures sessions and what working together may be like.
Therapy in Farmingdale can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
