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.

Therapist

Virtual • New York


I became a therapist because I have always been drawn to understanding people’s stories and the experiences that shape who we are. Through my own growth and experiences, I have learned that healing begins when we feel seen, accepted, and supported. Life brings challenges that can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about how to move forward. I am passionate about walking alongside individuals as they navigate these moments, helping them build resilience, overcome obstacles, and reconnect with their strengths to create a more fulfilling life.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or disconnected from your sense of purpose? You’re not alone, and you don’t have to navigate this alone. As a licensed clinician with over a decade of experience, I’m here to support you through life’s challenges and help you regain clarity, confidence, and control.

My clinical background includes work in crisis intervention, outpatient psychotherapy, and group facilitation for parenting, anger management, and domestic violence. Over the past six years, I’ve served as a mental health clinician in an emergency room setting, supporting children, adolescents, and adults in acute crisis.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, compulsive behaviors, career-related stress, relationship issues, fear of rejection, and feelings of abandonment.
