Marybeth Waite

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, adults, and families in a wide variety of settings. Over the years, I’ve worked in schools, inpatient and partial programs, crisis services, and outpatient therapy, which has given me a deep understanding of how mental health shows up in real life—not just in an office.

Much of my work has focused on supporting neurodivergent individuals and their families. I’ve spent many years working closely with children and adolescents, helping them navigate emotional, behavioral, and learning differences, while also partnering with parents and caregivers along the way. My background as a school social worker means I’m especially familiar with the challenges families face when balancing school expectations, mental health needs, and everyday stressors.

My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and grounded in evidence-based practices like CBT, DBT, and mindfulness. At the same time, I believe therapy should be flexible and adapted to what works best for each person.

The first session is a supportive conversation and an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in and what you’re hoping for, at a pace that feels comfortable for you. There’s no pressure to share everything at once.

My goal is for you to feel heard, understood, and supported, and to leave with a clearer sense of what next steps might look like. We’ll work collaboratively to make sure therapy feels helpful and fits within the context of your life.
