My name is Angela Burd, Licensed Clinical Social Worker in NY. I have a trauma-informed approach while ensuring to incorporate evidence-based modalities into treatment. I have years of experience in treating and diagnosing adults, children, adolescents with behavioral struggles both as a clinical therapist and a Senior Director over seeing programs for the Office of Mental Health, Addiction, and School Based Services.
I believe in giving individuals a voice and providing a safe space to express themselves. My intensive clinical training and therapeutic skills help many people navigate through life's inherent up and downs, utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Coping Skills Development with a Solution-Focused approach. My specialties are in the areas of child and adult transitions, parenting, relationship challenges and clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD.
I believe that, as people become more aware and accepting of themselves, they are more capable of finding a sense of peace and contentment in their lives. However, self-awareness and self-acceptance are goals that may take a long time to achieve. Some clients need only a few sessions to achieve these goals, whereas others may require months or even years of therapy.
