As a License Clinical Social Worker, I am dedicated to helping adults navigate emotional issues, life challenges, anxiety and more. I bring compassionate client-centered approach, to provide a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel comfortable to share their story and be heard in an effort to help them build resilience and allow them to take the risk to invest in their ability to grow and make changes that lead to a more positive sense of self.
I am a board certified Mental Health Counselor who works with individuals and couples and provides care for patients who struggle with interpersonal relationships, depression and anxiety. I studied at Brooklyn College, where I obtained a MA in Mental Health Counseling. I also worked in the profession for over four years, where I established my objection relations & cognitive restructuring techniques that have been a crucial part of my practice and my patients' success and progress.
I believe prioritizing mental health is key to stability in life. I know there is a better world out there and people need the tools to connect with their upmost insight for mental well being. In this field I am always eager to research and find healing processes to tailor the need of each individual.
Hi, I'm Elizabeth. I'm an LCSW with 10+ years of experience helping clients work towards their life goals.
Life today can be very stressful. We play many roles and we are constantly bombarded with information. We have many responsibilities and too little time. Sometimes it's hard to talk to your friends because they're going through the same thing and you don't want to burden them.

"To be more fully connected is to be more fully oneself" Hi, I am a bilingual (Mandarin) therapist in NYC and surrounding area with over 13 years of clinical experience supporting children, couples, and families. My client-centered approach is warm, compassionate, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I have worked with diverse populations in child welfare, psychiatric centers, and the education system, helping clients navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, OCD, Selective Mutism and relationship issues. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive space where clients can explore their experiences, gain clarity, and find greater meaning and fulfillment in life
I earned my PhD in Clinical Psychology in 2002. Having worked in healthcare and academic settings, I appreciate being part of a treatment team and am available to coordinate care with other providers when beneficial. Rather than see 'how many problems' a person may be facing... I see 'how many ways things can get better'. I value working with folks to see their puzzle from a different angle and to use tools to clarify, change and improve the picture.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Long Beach, NY
Searching for therapists in Long Beach starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support for. Many people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or life changes. As you compare Long Beach therapists, look for specialties, therapy styles, and populations served in each profile. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they focus on approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.
In a smaller city like Long Beach, the number of local therapist offices may be more limited than in larger parts of New York. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New York. You may also want to compare appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and scheduling flexibility. Reading profiles before booking can help you see how each therapist describes their communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in a first session.
Therapy in Long Beach can be a significant cost without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences and offer clear cost estimates before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with 70+ insurance plans, and you can enter your insurance details to confirm coverage for your location. You can enter your insurance details, compare therapist profiles, review availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
