Great to meet you. My name is Beth , I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I have worked with various populations and have a diverse background including people with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic medical conditions, Substance Use, Bipolar Disorder, ADHD, and relationship problems.

I very much like to utilize an educational, interactive, positive and holistic approach to therapy. I think it is important to find balance and harmony in your life and it starts with improving self-reflection, self-esteem and proactive self-care. I take a person centered approach, allowing you to take charge of your goals for health.

Therapeutic Rapport building is what we will establish and I want to hear your story and really get to know you.

I received my education and trainings through SUNY Stony Brook, Pratt Institute and the CHA in affiliation with Harvard Medical School Department of Psychiatry. I also have additional trainings through SUNY Albany and John Hopkins University School of Public Health. I provide office services and TeleHealth. I do not prescribe medication‘s. I use a variety of evidence based practices and treatment methods and modalities, and a full psychological history is captured and analyzed. At times I also utilize psychological testing and collateral contacts for further exploration and understanding to best treat your symptoms and needs.

My name is Wendy Green, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New York. I work with adults, supporting them through a wide range of challenges including anxiety, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and women’s issues.

I believe therapy should be a safe and supportive space where you feel heard and understood. My approach is flexible and guided by your unique needs.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Utica, NY

Searching for therapists in Utica starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want to work on. People often look for counseling in Utica, NY for concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or major life changes. As you compare therapists, marriage counselors, counselors, and psychologists in Utica, NY, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling.

In a smaller city like Utica, local appointment options may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in New York. You may also want to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, focus areas, and what a first session may be like.

Mental health care in Utica can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower session costs and make care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who take your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between in-person and virtual sessions. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.

If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
