Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Utica, NY covered by Aetna

Hi! Thanks for viewing my profile, I am an LCSW in NYS and have been in the human services field for nearly 10 years and a licensed provider (LMSW) since 2019 earning my LCSW in 2023. Prior to licensure, I worked as an outpatient substance abuse counselor and case planner in foster care. I value the ability to hold space for others through their journey whether it is a life adjustment/change, trauma, anxiety or depression.

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.

Making sure you have a personalized, meaningful experience in therapy is very important to me. Let's find your voice and let's help you into a better spot so you can feel good about life. I have been in practice since 2003 working across many different settings. Through our initial discussions we will explore what may be underlying your current concerns and customize therapy so that your experience is meaningful. If you've ever felt like your previous therapists "just sat there and nodded", you won't have that experience here. I ask lots of questions and will keep you engaged throughout our time together.

My clients work towards understanding old cycles, fostering self-compassion, and finding better ways of functioning. The result is often stronger relationships, reduced anxiety, and a clearer sense of identity. I'm here to help you feel understood and supported throughout this process.

It's difficult making the first phone call, booking an appointment and admitting you need help. Whether it's depression, anxiety, a mood disorder or trauma, it's frightening to admit that everything isn't how you want it to be and you don't have all the answers. If you're experiencing sadness, anxiety, mood swings, intrusive thoughts or images, flash backs, numbness or insomnia, there is hope and there is help. I'm going to teach you skills to manage you symptoms, emotions and relationships more effectively.

Thank you for taking the time to read my bio! I have been a Licensed Social Worker for 17 years and believe that therapy is a wonderful tool for growth and change. My approach is to meet you where you are on your journey and help you live your best life!

Hi there! I am so glad you are here!

Are you working incredibly hard to manage the non-stop demands of life? You are trying to create positive changes and yet you find yourself feeling stuck in familiar and unhelpful thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we can work to develop practical tools and collaborate (at your pace) on some deeper rooted exploration; creating long lasting change that gives you a greater sense of ease in your day to day life.

Since completing my Masters of Social Work at Fordham University in 2012 I have had nearly 15 years of professional experience in a variety of community mental health settings. I have developed a passion for supporting young adults through life transitions, working through relationship challenges, and emotion focused work.

Hello! I am so happy to introduce myself to you. I have over 20 years of experience working as a therapist. I love being a therapist because I enjoy meeting new people and getting to know their stories. I’m a firm believer in treating the person in front of me, not the diagnosis or code. I don’t believe in seeing someone as their struggle. I help people cope with their symptoms or challenges and to become the best version of themselves. I use many therapeutic frameworks to accomplish this. I never follow one framework only. That shortchanges the opportunities for improvement to me.

Hello, and welcome. I am truly glad that you have chosen to take this important first step on your journey toward wellness, healing, and contentment. Making the decision to seek support is not always easy. In fact, for many people, the first step can feel like the most challenging one. It often requires vulnerability, honesty, courage, and a willingness to embrace change. Yet despite its difficulty, it is also one of the most powerful and meaningful decisions you can make for yourself.

By taking this step, you are investing in your well-being and demonstrating a commitment to your personal growth. Whether you are facing specific challenges, navigating life transitions, working through difficult emotions, strengthening relationships, or simply seeking a greater sense of balance and fulfillment, you have already begun moving toward positive change.
